Another thing to note is that the people in the new film just did not seem realistic. They seemed like societal picture perfect models.

I felt the actors in the remake seemed more realistic, what with the fake tans and bronzing makeup. That's the world in which we live, the world Carrie's mother is fighting. The main actors in the orig. were borderline over-the-top with Piper Laurie nearly turning into the Wicked Witch of the West. That said, I MUCH prefer the acting in the orig. Sometimes it is better to be memorable than to merely serve the tone.
