* PeriodShaming: Like its source material, Carrie is tormented by her peers when they notice her getting her first period as she showers; she cowers on the floor as the other girls slam against the shower walls chanting “Period!”, until the gym teacher storms in and orders them to GetOut. In this version the bullies go as far as to vandalise Carrie’s locker, writing “period” on the door and filling it up with tampons, then laughing their heads off when she discovers the ‘prank’. When Carrie asks her mother why she never told her that all girls go through menstruation, her mother [[BaitTheDog seemly soothes her]], but then punishes Carrie for “sinning” and locks her up in a closet. Once the prom disaster happens, several people laugh at Carrie being drenched in blood, while others react with horror or shock. Carrie’s fragile mental states leads her to believe they’re all laughing and she unleashes her powers on them.

** A gym class scene that precedes the shower incident (though it was volleyball in the first film). The present day Carrie story opened with the girls showering in the book, and the sequence of Carrie losing a game for her team and Chris taunting her come straight from the 1976 film.
** Chris gets a BetaBitch who's in on all her schemes, when she and Billy act alone in the book. Although in this case, it's more accurate to the book, making it Tina (who was friends with Chris but not a BetaBitch) rather than Norma.
** Tommy and Carrie win when the ballots are rigged. In the book it's a tie and they win in a run-off ballot.
** Carrie wears a pink dress to the prom, unlike the red she wore in the book (and thus the "you're wearing red" scene with Margaret has more in common with the original film).
** Another character discovering the bucket right before it's poured, but being too late to stop it. It was Sue in the 1976 version and Helen in this one.
** Carrie [[spoiler:causes her destruction from the stage]] rather than running outside the school beforehand.
** Billy and Chris [[spoiler:die in the car trying to run Carrie over]] rather than at the motel. Carrie also [[spoiler:kills them before her mother, whereas the book has Margaret die first]].
