I really like some elements of this. There’s a really satisfying symmetry to the plot, and it upends some of the usual horror tropes (who’s actually the bad guy, here?). Carrie is a great character, and Sissy Spacek does her justice.
The pacing didn’t do much for me, though. Most of the ending seemed inevitable, and it was a bit of a plod to get there. The tension didn’t really build, it just went for a nap and came back later.
Then there were big chunks where it felt like someone’s pervy old uncle had been put in charge. I can’t decide if that was deliberate, or a product of the time, or what, but it felt gratuitous and gross.
