	Author	Review
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"More effective and less overblown than many unnecessary horror remakes, but it can't compare with the original."	NEU
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Director Kimberly Peirce’s intermittently effective third feature eschews De Palma’s diabolical wit and voluptuous style in favor of a somber, straight-faced retelling."	NEU
United States	Joe Neumaier New York Daily News	"Slight, unessential but still effective (...) Where Sissy Spacek seemed otherworldly and haunted in De Palma’s film, Moretz (...) is sadder. She’s a terrific young actress. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"A work of smooth confidence and a humane, dimensionally human brand of horror. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Ms. Peirce plays up the story’s religious themes and Carrie’s burgeoning power as she discovers her telekinetic gifts, even as the dread of the female body that deepens Mr. De Palma’s version somehow goes missing."	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Rather than offering new blood, 'Carrie' is a purely cosmetic revamp. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
