The Rage: Carrie 21

Let's get one thing straight: Brian De Palma's screen adaptation of Stephen King's novel Carrie was among the best supernatural shockers of the last few decades. While being deeply chilling and bowel-movingly tense, it's also an agonisingly emotional piece. Bearing this in mind, we could string you along with suggestions as to what elements a sequel would need to survive in the imposing shadow of the original, and then let you down with the news that it contains none of them. But why bother? To even imply that there's anything of worth in The Rage would be like promising a small child a Dreamcast for Christmas, then sending it a crusty old cat turd in a cardboard box.
