The Rage: Carrie II (1999) **

Directed by Katt Shea. With Emily Bergl, Jason London and Amy Irving. There are really two different films here. First we get a Porky-like "horny teenager" high-school drama about football players seducing virgins, driving them to suicide and videotaping their exploits. Then comes a supernatural horror movie with telekinetic powers shattering glass, demolishing buildings and setting everything on fire. What emerges is a highly moralistic allegory about sexual sinners being devoured by infernal flames. A bad movie, but entertaining in a trashy sort of way.
