The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999)

"It must be nice not having to be like everybody else."

"It's not so great."

The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

Why someone would make a sequel to 1976’s Carrie 23 years after the original, I don't know. Even if this had been released at the right time (if such a thing as a right time existed) this is a lazily-conceived, badly made film. The climax is more likely to leave you in hysterics than shivering in terror.

In 1999, outcast Rachel (Emily Bergl) hates life at home thanks to her unloving foster parents. After her best friend Lisa (Mena Suvari) commits suicide, Rachel learns a popular football jock, Eric (Zachery Ty Bryan), feigned love for the dead girl so he could sleep with and then dump her to impress his friends. All the football players are partaking in this game, even the seemingly sweet Jesse (Jason London), on whom Rachel has a crush.

I've omitted two details about this plot to show you how much of a sequel to Carrie it isn’t. The entire film could easily play out without these, leading me to believe (though I can’t prove it) it was written as some other movie and then reworked to tie into the 1976 Brian De Palma film. Technically, The Rage is a follow-up. Amy Irving returns as Sue Snell, now an adult guidance counsellor for Rachel's school. That’s a detail. The real reason this is “a sequel”? Rachel. The young woman has the the same telekinetic powers as Carrie did. With that said, I bet you can predict the entire movie now. The film’s villains are essentially the Spur Posse. Rachel’s going to fall in love with one of them, they’ll have sex, his buddies will ruin everything by telling Rachel it was all a facade, unleashing her titular rage upon them. Cue the blood bath until TRAGEDY! Turns out the love was real. Too bad loads of people are now dead. Too bad for Rachel, I mean. We couldn’t care less about the teens who bit the dust.

While it would’ve left you feeling like you just took a bath in a bucket of grease, this picture might’ve sucessfully told its revenge plot if it had played things smartly. You instantly hate the bad guys so you’re somewhat endeared to Rachel. Unfortunately, writer Rafael Moreau and director Katt Shea fumble this project. Over and over, we're shown clips of the 1976 film. What do they mean? Rachel wasn’t there. These aren’t her memories. Sue wasn’t there either - she left the deadly party before the carnage began. They're included to assure us that there will be blood later and because this film knows otherwise, everyone would leave. While we wait, the picture goes into needless details about Rachel’s powers, explaining their origin in a way that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

Picture this. Rachel is going to the jock’s post-graduation party. They’re getting ready to dump this film’s equivalent of a bucket of blood on her when they broadcast the secret footage of her and Jesse having sex for everyone to see. Counsellor Sue has been picking away at this nagging feeling that something’s not right with the teenager. She’s found the girl’s insane mother, broken her out of Arkham Asylum and is bringing her to the party so Rachel can understand why she has mutant powers. As they approach the door, Rachel hurls a fire poker at a schoolmate, impaling him through the head. In the process, she kills Sue. The woman’s death is accidental so it doesn’t tell us anything about how intensely Rachel’s rage burns. Left to her own devices, mom barges into the chaotic house to explain to her daughter what’s happening. Too bad the characters haven’t spoken in 13 years. They're lucky they knew who was who! The exchange that follows means NOTHING because their connection isn't emotional, it's technical.

No fan of the original Carrie could watch The Rage and be satisfied with it. No one who hasn’t seen the original should watch this movie instead. The Rage: Carrie 2 is a picture without an audience. It’s got some unintentionally funny moments towards the end when the gore and violence are supposed to appall us but you’ll have checked out long before then. (On VHS, March 5, 2020)

Home Improvement Cast: A Look at the Iconic Characters

Tim Taylor The central figure of Home Improvement Cast is Tim Taylor, portrayed by Tim Allen. Tim, an enthusiastic and often bumbling host of the fictional show Tool Time, is known for his love of power tools and his catchphrase "More power!" His character drives much of the show's humor and charm.

Jill Taylor Jill Taylor, Tim’s supportive and often more sensible wife, is played by Patricia Richardson. Jill serves as the voice of reason in the Taylor household, balancing Tim’s adventurous spirit with her practical approach to family life. Her character adds depth and relatability to the series.

Randy Taylor Randy Taylor, the middle child of the Taylor family, is portrayed by Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Randy’s character evolves from a mischievous teenager into a more mature young adult, reflecting the show's focus on family dynamics and growing up.

Brad Taylor Brad Taylor, the eldest son, is played by Zachery Ty Bryan. Brad is known for his typical teenage antics and sports enthusiasm, which often provide comedic situations in the series. His character's journey through adolescence is a significant subplot.

Mark Taylor Mark Taylor, the youngest of the Taylor children, is portrayed by Taran Noah Smith. Mark’s character often brings a different perspective to family issues, adding to the show’s exploration of various family dynamics.

Al Borland Al Borland, Tim’s loyal and somewhat more competent co-host on Tool Time, is played by Richard Karn. Al’s character provides a counterbalance to Tim’s Home Improvement Cast, often serving as the voice of reason and technical expertise.

Wilson Wilson Jr. Wilson Wilson Jr., the Taylor family’s enigmatic neighbor, is portrayed by Earl Hindman. Known for his advice and wisdom, Wilson’s character is famous for his partial concealment behind a fence, adding a unique element to his role as a mentor and friend.

This ensemble cast is integral to the success of Home Improvement, each character contributing to the show's enduring popularity and charm.
