action
Police investigator John Mulcahey questioned witnesses to the events at a school ball in Chamberlain, where almost all people died. Witnesses include Miss Desjarden, Sue Snell and Norma Watson.
Three weeks before: The outsider Carrie White is a wallflower. When her biology teacher exempts her from class because her mother Margaret forbids her to attend classes on Darwin's theory of evolution for religious reasons, she once again incurs the mockery of her classmates. In the girls' physical education class, she turns out to be unable to hit the ball in baseball, which annoys the other girls and makes them laugh again. After physical education, the girls take a shower. Carrie, very disturbed, notices that she is suddenly bleeding profusely. Believing that she is about to die, she panics. Her classmates mock her again because she is only having her first period. Her sports teacher Miss Desjardin intervenes and drives away the blasphemous pack, but can only calm Carrie with a slap in the face. When she strikes, a lightbulb explodes on the ceiling.
Miss Desjarden takes Carrie to the principal and explains to him that Carrie is a late adolescent at sixteen, but that her complete ignorance of the period is due to the fanatical mother. The principal calls Carrie into his office, where he calls her "Cathy" several times. Carrie is on leave for the rest of the day and sent home. Carrie gets a fit of anger that she will not be addressed by her real name, the desk pushes itself to the side with force when Carrie turns around and storms out of the office. When she tries to empty her locker, there is another humiliation: Her classmates stuffed it full of tampons and wrote the words "Plug it up" on it. On the way home, the unpopular Carrie is also referred to by a boy on a bike as "Scary Carrie". Startled by his sudden appearance, his telekinetic abilities knock him into a tree.
When Carrie gets home, the sight of some holes in the house reminds her of her childhood. Little Carrie was watching the neighbour's daughter sunbathe in the nude. Curiously, she asked about her breasts and said she would never get any because her mother said only bad girls got breasts. And her mother only speaks of her own breasts as dirty pillows. Before the conversation can continue, Margaret White calls her daughter back into the house, forcibly pulls her inside and screams audibly to the neighbors that Carrie must go to the closet and pray for her sin. Carrie screams and howls, and flaming comets fall from the sky to hit the house.
After this memory, Carrie enters the house. She reproaches her mother for not being informed, but she accuses Carrie of sinful thoughts that have brought her the "curse of the blood" and locks her back in the closet to pray.
The big prom is in a week. Miss Desjarden gives detention to the entire group of girls for mocking Carrie. The beautiful but arrogant Chris Hargensen refuses. Sue Snell, however, seems to feel sorry for Carrie. She makes a plan: Her boyfriend Tommy is supposed to go to prom with Carrie. So Sue wants to calm her conscience and make up for the fact that she participated in Carrie's mockery.
Tommy is not really taken with the idea at first, but agrees and invites Carrie to the ball when she is finding out more about her psychic abilities in the school library on the Internet. Reluctantly, she finally agrees.
The invitation raises Carrie's self-confidence. She's trying make-up in a shop when Sue walks in and gives her a little help. She begins to make a dress for herself. Her mother is not at all interested in Carrie's plans and describes her daughter as unnatural and sinful, but Carrie uses her uncanny powers to lock her in the closet and prepare for the ball.
Chris Hargensen takes advantage of the situation to come up with a plan for revenge - she blames Carrie for being expelled from prom for refusing to attend detention with Miss Desjarden. Together with her rude friend Billy Nolan, she decides to make a mockery of Carrie at the ball. That's why Billy and a few other boys sneak into a farm at night, stab a pig and collect its blood in a bucket. The girls who organize the ball work with Chris, replacing the ballot papers for choosing the ball king couple with fakes that will let Carrie and Tommy win.
When the ball night arrives, Tommy picks Carrie up. She looks completely different in her pretty tight dress, made up and coiffed. Miss Desjardin is happy for Carrie and the compliments she gets from many and tells her about her own failed prom. She also forces Tommy to dance with Carrie. Finally the falsified election results are announced. Carrie can hardly believe her luck and takes the stage with Tommy to be crowned royal couple. Little does she know that the bucket with the pig's blood is above her and that Chris and Billy are backstage. Eventually, Chris pulls on a rope that leads to the bucket, and Carrie is showered with pig's blood at the moment of her greatest happiness.
The shock puts Carrie in a state of shock. She no longer really perceives her surroundings. But she instinctively notices that Tommy is hit by the empty bucket and falls to the floor bleeding. The majority of the ball guests laugh at the evil prank and that leads Carrie to an unconscious frenzy. Strange things happen suddenly. The doors close, the sprinkler system switches on, the electrical lines overload. Tables and chairs fly through the air, people are injured. Panic breaks out. Carrie's powers cause the basketball hoop to fall on a classmate who kills her. Sparks start a fire. Carrie stands in an inferno. Miss Desjardin tries to escape with a few students through a ventilation shaft - not a second too early, because the water on the floor comes into contact with an electrical display board, the electric shock kills everyone in the room. Carrie leaves the stage and walks to the exit, past her victims. As she steps out into the night, the building collapses behind her.
Still in her catatonic state, Carrie walks the night streets. Cars fly away from her at her will, power poles fall, a gas station catches fire and explodes. Chris and Billy, who survived the massacre because they left the ball early, want to run over Carrie, but Carrie throws her car into a tree and kills her too. Sue tries to stop Carrie, but she doesn't succeed.
Back home, Carrie wants to clean herself in the bathtub. Her mother arrives and shows sympathy for her distraught daughter. She caresses them - and then presses them under the water with force to drown them and free themselves from their demonic brood. Carrie's panic cracks in the building, Margaret White dies. Carrie lies lifeless in the tub.
As in several places in the film, they switch back to the interrogation. Mulcahey asks Sue why she can be so calm and what she can say about the case. Only eleven people survived the night, and there should be nine unidentified bodies - but there are only eight. Sue says all she can say is that Carrie must be dead.
Back in the dying scene the truth emerges: Sue enters the house and finds Margaret and Carrie. She pulls Carrie out of the tub and resuscitates her with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. They leave the house together.
Sometime later Sue and Carrie are standing at the grave of Carrie and her mother at night. Sue says Carrie can start a new life anywhere else. She wants to lead Carrie into a new life. And so they drive together into the night and the future.

Reviews
Fredrik Nordstrom wrote on Shlasherpool.com that the film lacks the "tension" and "atmosphere" of the original. They are replaced by "cheap special effects".
"Remake of Brian de Palma's horror film of the same name (1976), which is closely based on the literary model by Stephen King, without developing any independence or ever approaching de Palma's film adaptation."
Awards
