The Rage: Carrie 2

The Rage: Carrie 2 is a 1999 American supernatural horror film directed by Katt Shea, and starring Emily Bergl in her film debut, Jason London, Dylan Bruno, J. Smith-Cameron and Amy Irving. The film is a sequel to the 1976 film Carrie based on the 1974 novel by Stephen King, and serves as the second film in the Carrie franchise. The film was originally titled The Curse and did not have connections to the Carrie novel or film, but was eventually rewritten to be a direct sequel to the 1976 film. Its plot follows Rachel Lang (Bergl) the younger half-sister of Carrie White (Sissy Spacek), also suffering with telekinesis, who finds that her best friend Lisa Parker's (Mena Suvari) suicide was spurred by a group of popular male classmates (Bruno, Zachery Ty Bryan, Elijah Craig) who exploited her for sexual gain.

The Rage: Carrie 2 was released on March 12, 1999, and was a box office bomb, grossing $17 million against a $21 million production budget. It received generally negative reviews, which criticized the routine recycling of the original film's story and themes. However, they widely praised the performance of Bergl, who was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor for her work on the film at the 26th Saturn Awards.
