* Sue went through a TraumaCongaLine in one night, and to top it all off is blamed for it. What is her response? She maintains her innocence and writes a book about the experience, mainly to protect Tommy's good name.



* Sue's consistent NervesOfSteel when being interrogated. She maintains her innocence and explains the situation as honestly as possible; well, except for the part where she saved Carrie's life and is hiding her because Carrie would either be arrested, committed, or sent to a weird science lab where her powers would be studied. When the investigators learn that Sue ''was'' innocent, they apologize to her.




to:

* Sue has witnessed the destruction on prom night, including the death of her boyfriend. She follows Carrie to her house, seeing a dead body on the floor and another one seemingly in the tub; Sue pulls out Carrie, administers CPR, and revives her. She also gets a fistful of Carrie's thoughts, learning that she wasn't in control of her actions during the rampage. How does Sue respond? By hiding Carrie, lying to the cops, and giving her a solution: move to another state under an assumed name. She also reassures Carrie that what happened wasn't her fault because she lost control. Unlike practically every version, this one has hope that Carrie will recover from what she did, and what happened to her.


Added DiffLines:

** Also what makes Carrie snapped: that Chris ''killed Tommy''. In most versions, Carrie hates the prank and the laughing. Here, it's that the only kid who was nice to her died. Doubles as a SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment.

* The principal and vice-principal not only ensure Chris is punished for her actions, but also deliver a legal slap to her father's face when he actually attempts to sue them for suspending his daughter by threatening to file a countersuit on behalf of Carrie. The principal also makes special mention of Chris's numerous cases of harassing students.

* A meta example. PJ Soles was only cast for a couple of weeks. However her ad-lib of hitting Carrie with her hat inspired Brian [=DePalma=] to write more scenes for her. Then she ended up cast in another horror classic ''{{Film/Halloween 1978}}'' because John Carpenter loved her work in this.

She herself was a fan of the book and original film, and gave a grand performance that many think is equal to Sissy Spacek's - and some even find better.

* Miss Desjardin shutting the lawsuit threat right down by just mentioning the Website/YouTube video Chris took of the prank. She goes on to state that if said video is on Chris' phone, they'll have proof that she posted it, which is more than enough to justify the punishment the school is meting out.

** While it was horrific as well, Carrie giving the twins Nicki and Lizzy their comeuppance - if you believe they too were in on the prank, which they were in the original script (when the video plays, one of the twins can be seen looking excited as if she was expecting it). If you think about it, being subjected to a horrific drawn-out torture (being held down on the floor while everyone tramples them to death) that no one bothers to help them from is quite fitting karma for what they did to her.

* The famous "Figure-8" shot in which the camera seemingly effortlessly glides around the crowded prom to follow the whole process of rigging the votes, followed by rising over the stage to reveal the blood bucket before zooming back in on Carrie where it started, all in one take in what the cinematographer described as easily one of the hardest things he ever did in his career.

* Carrie first getting her mother to back off, long before she's able to control her powers. She threatens "I'll make the stones come again, Momma!" - remembering the incident when she was three. It's enough to make Margaret stop in her tracks.
* Minor one for Carrie but when she first arrives at the prom, she gets a good snarky line on Norma by quipping "I'm Don [=McLean=]'s [[RefugeInAudacity secret lover]]" - and her inner narration goes 'so ''that's'' what you look like when a joke is played on you'.
