Admittedly, "The Rage: Carrie 2" can't equal the quality established by its predecessor. But it's better than I expected it to be. Portraying an outcast high school student (Emily Bergl) discovering that she has telekinetic powers - don't worry; it gets explained - and using them to get revenge on her tormentors, it mostly repeats everything from the original. But the good aspect comes from how they set up some scenes and shock you (I really liked the shattering ball). Finally, the party at the end just might make your blood freeze.Overall, this is a movie worth seeing, if only once. Of course, you'll have to see the original first, so as to understand everything that happens in this one. Also starring Amy Irving and Mena Suvari (right before she played Kevin Spacey's sexual fantasy in "American Beauty").

Very good sequel. This time around, Rachel has street smarts compared to Carrie's innocence. Very imaginative plot and a good script. Good acting. Those boys were truly hateful. This is one teen horror flick where the actors actually act like teenagers - drinking, swearing, etc. This movie handled some of the situations with a subtle touch, lending the audience to make inferences. More intelligent than your average horror flick. Excellent cast, moves quickly, and is genuinely scary. Stands up to the original, which is not an easy task. I would definitely recommend this movie. The film is not predictable, as is the case with many teen horror flicks, and I think the director intentionally was aiming for this. She succeeded. Insights into the characters' complex issues were presented for the audience to pick up as the movie progressed.

The Rage: Carrie 2 was a great sequel at my opinion. Emily Bergl played her role excellent, and Amy Irving (Sue Snell) is back at her old character from Carrie.Unfortunately this film has been undervoted. There is a good storyline in it, which most people probably don't like, there had to be more action??, well, the way it is makes it a real sequel to Carrie.I really don't know what makes Carrie 2 so poor for most people.Carrie 2, 7/10
