Viewing Notes
Second movie in my After Dark triple feature. It really feels like an alternate universe CARRIE with Ellen MacNevin doing a modern take on Sissy Spacek’s performance in an entirely different story. Not at all the same story (no telekinesis) but just in tone (ex. hs bullying).
Took me a little while to get on board with this crazy narrative but it goes all out in the third act and I was totally into it. Really cant’ say more without spoiling. Definitely a movie worth a look.
Maybe my favorite of the 3 films because of how they tell this story. Not conventional like the other two I saw on this day.
