Carrie (2002) & The Rage: Carrie II via Scream Factory - Blu-ray Forum

cakefactory · 10-17-2014, 03:55 PM

Great, I've wanted that TV version. It's definitely not that good but Angela Bettis is way better than Chloe Moretz and the movie at least tries to do a lot of different stuff from the De Palma one, unlike the new remake which was so close as to be pointless.

joltman · 10-17-2014, 03:57 PM

I just bought a three-pack within the last year with the original (for the features not on the BD), the sequel and the TV movie. Oh well, good to have it on Blu

KenHurd · 10-17-2014, 04:04 PM

I've never seen the 2002 version, but I've heard that it's closer to the book, with more of a non-linear story structure and interviews of the survivors. Although, I don't think any version of Carrie has ever used the book's ending.

I figured that The Rage: Carrie 2 was one that would never see a blu-ray release. It's been a long time since I last saw it, so I look forward to seeing it again. The announcement of this one makes me almost positive that Disturbing Behavior will be announced before the end of the month.

klauswhereareyou · 10-17-2014, 04:26 PM

Definitely didn't see this release coming.

Luke B. · 10-17-2014, 05:09 PM

Finally, the 2002 version is my favorite Carrie movie.

atlantajoseph · 10-17-2014, 05:13 PM

Yay! Egregious crappy sequel and remake bundled together for easy avoidance!

Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, hard stop.

scissorpuppy · 10-17-2014, 05:27 PM

It will be interesting to see how the 2002 tv movie looks on Blu-ray. I'm assuming it was shot on film, but like most tv product mastered for SD video. Was this an exception in the early days of HD mastering? Perhaps the film was edited and mastered on HD? Let's hope an up-conversion isn't released as "High Definition". Unless this was edited on film (which was sometimes done for tv films, for overseas theatrical release.) is it possible they have done a HD "reconstruction"? Which seems like an expensive process for this release.

The original Carrie is nearly flawless and one of my favorite movies, but so is May. I consider the TV remake worth watching just as a test drive of sorts for Angela Bettis in May. She's really good.

YES!! Make Disturbing Behavior happen! That movie is a guilty pleasure and I will admit I'm excited for this announcement because The Rage: Carrie 2 is also a guilty pleasure for me. They were banking off the success of Scream and Final Destination, the deaths are really cool in this movie!

Director's Cut and theatrical for Disturbing Behavior or no dice. This is one that was terribly cut to pieces. All characters scenes amd moments that made the movie work were removed. I'd buy a DC version in an instant.

If they do Disturbing Behavior, I'd love if they put the deleted scenes back into the movie, the way it aired on the SyFy Channel (only not edited for TV of course). The movie works so much better with those scenes to fill the gaps.

I'm surprised so many people like the TV version. I didn't think it was all that great. I mean, I wouldn't say it sucked, but it definately wasn't all that good either. If I want to watch Carrie, that would be the last version I would pick.

GasmaskAvenger · 10-18-2014, 01:05 AM

Not a fan of either but i'll pick 'em up nonetheless just to complete my Carrie collection.

takeasneededforpain · 10-18-2014, 01:11 AM

I'd rather see the original film get a decent Blu-Ray transfer from Scream Factory instead of this crap.

Do they ever give anything a new transfer? Thought they just took whatever they were given and slapped it on a disc in all cases other than Nightbreed.

I agree that Carrie badly needs a special edition, every other De Palma movie from the 70s and 80s has one BESIDES Carrie, despite Carrie being by far the most popular (besides maybe Scarface). I have great blurays of all his other classics and an MGM DVD of Carrie sticking out like a sore thumb. Ah well.

halloween 2 got cleaned up by them and apparently Halloween 6 Producer's Cut was a master they did. But otherwise they use existing masters for pretty much everything.

Thomas Irwin · 10-18-2014, 06:51 AM

Another awesome announcement, IMO. Both great films. I'm a big fan of Carrie (2002) - I like it equally as well as the original, even a bit more.

Me-Hostage · 10-18-2014, 02:54 AM

HELL YES!! I loved the TV movie and Rage!! I will end up getting the original now just to have it with these!!

theprestige85 · 10-18-2014, 07:14 AM

The TV version is underrated. Plus it has Katherine Isabelle

The sequel is the pits though

crow2k5 · 10-18-2014, 07:57 AM

I'm happy The Rage: Carrie 2 is coming, never seen the Carrie tv remake.
