Horrible Sequel

Along the lines of what were they thinking? As you may remember Carrie was a classic horror movie about a high school outcast taking her revenge after a mean prank is played on her. Carrie 2 plays along the same plot, only now it is twenty years later. The plot concerns a girl named Rachel, who we find is related to Carrie and also shares her telekinetic powers. Rachel is an outcast as well whose best friend has just commited suicide after being dumped by a jock who used her for sex. Now, one of the jocks has his eye on Rachel, but he really does like her. However, his friends cannot seem to handle this so they hatch a scheme to get Rachel basically for not being cool, and also for revealing the relationship one of the jocks had with her friend. Also, Amy Irving returns as Sue Snell, a guidance counselor who recognizes that Rachel has power, and becomes very worried. From this point the movie goes even farther downhill as the jocks develop their elaborate plot. One has to ask how they manage to do all this with no one else finding out, and since it seems they are very stupid how they planned all this anyway. Finally the big showdown comes where Rachel is humiliated by their vicious prank and she lets loose her "rage". So everyone is killed, and the conclusion of the original Carrie is basically remade with few alterations. Horrible movie, poor script, terrible acting, unbeleivable plots all make for an awful movie. Avoid this and stick to the original.
