The best stuff in this ridiculously conceived sequel to Brian De Palma's groundbreaking '70s classic are the occasional, too-brief flashbacks to De Palma's groundbreaking '70s classic. They occur in the mind of Sue Snell (Amy Irving, shamelessly reprising her role), the only main character left alive during Carrie's prom revenge freakout. After a brief stint in an insane asylum, Snell is now a therapist at a suburban high school and is currently counseling Rachel Lang (Emily Bergl). Rachel isn't like other girls. When Rachel gets really mad, she moves things with her mind. Rachel's been really mad lately, because her best friend jumped from a rooftop in the first 10 minutes of this movie. Even though there's absolutely no development of this relationship, don't doubt it: we know they're best friends because they have matching tattoos. Rachel's friend lost it because she was the latest victim in a fun game that members of the football team play off the field in which they keep a running count of how many girls they can seduce, using a rating scale based on appearance. Of course, there's a nice one, Jesse (Jason London), who feels guilty about playing the game and falls for Carrie, er, Rachel. Everything appears to be changing for Rachel, but Jesse's friends have other plans. Snell knows what's up, however, and it's pretty funny watching her explain it to Rachel: "I've been through this movie before" is essentially what she says, but Rachel doesn't want to hear that she's not an original character, that she's a cheap, slightly hardened and revised '90s rip-off with no autonomy. It makes Rachel want to move things with her mind. --Dave McCoy

A surprisingly intelligent, entertaining sequel to the original Stephen King-penned high school prom nightmare. Twenty-three years later, Carrie's telekinetic half-sister Rachel (Bergl) is facing many of the same social hurdles as Carrie. When her best friend (Suvari), a fellow misfit, commits suicide as a result of being jilted by a jock who used her as a simple conquest, Rachel holds the knowledge that could deprive the football team of a key player. When she begins dating a football player (London), his jock friends target Rachel for revenge. Irving returns as Sue Snell, now a guidance counselor.

Every Teen Thinks Terrible Thoughts..Hers Are Deadly.
Welcome to Bates High School. The Lesson for today: stay on Rachel Lang's good side because this outcast teen has a fiery temper that can't be controlled! Joining her in the halls are Jason London, Dylan Bruno, J. Smith-Cameron, Zachery Ty Bryan, and Amy Irving for "an explosion of supernatural violence" that will keep you on the edge of your seat to the blazing, bloody end!
Rachel is a high school misfit who gets caught in the middle of a vicious prank - orchestrated by a group of oversexed jocks - that turns deadly. Once the police bring one of the boys in for questioning, his teammates target Rachel for squealing, and hatch a devious scheme to publicity humiliate her. But messing with Rachel is worse than playing with fire, for when her temper's crossed it triggers a power-keg of anger and unleashes special powers that can turn a fun, house party into a mad-house inferno!
