And before you ask, this was directed by a woman, Katt Shea, who made Dance of the Damned. I was amazed that it was trying to tell people that’s a real thing that happens. The scene where one of the jocks (played by the older kid from Home Improvement, he’s the ringleader) gets off scott free because his dad is not only a lawyer but used the “Don’t ruin his life because of this” like that kind of bullshit. Could be cathartic for women who prefer to see rapists get their just desserts and whatnot but I feel in general the film made a very, huge middle finger to rape culture and toxic masculinity, I mean part of the premise where Rachel, the girl with the telekinesis, had witnessed her best friend commit suicide after being targeted by an older jock and slut shamed, it was actually inspired by a story of jocks raping an underage girl in high school IIRC. Sure, certain problems yeah like Amy Irving and the protagonist’s mother being completely superfluous to the plot just to connect the first film (started off as an unrelated script).īut I argue the premise of a telekinetic girl taking on rapists is an appealing premise. Alright, you three should have seen this coming I’m going to defend The Rage: Carrie 2 given the huge Horror fan I am who’s very opinionated.Īnyway, I argue The Rage: Carrie 2 is massively underrated.
