Although Carrie is mainly seen as a Horror,Thriller and Drama based movie its main cast is over run by everyday stereotypical teenagers. In the movie we see a mix of hierarchy from the nerds to the jocks, geeks and daddy girls, Carrie and the rest of the school. The movie touches the theme of bullying in school as most the time other teens are talking about Carrie or calling her names. This movie also has Teen Movie factors by exploring relationships; Carrie has a tense and sometimes abusive relationship with her mother. Which also leads her to becoming the 'weirdo' or 'freak' of the school. Adolescence is used as a theme in the movie as it shows the changes a teenage girl goes through in the movie, but smartly enough uses it to show how most teenage girls will bully and exclude one another for being "different"

"What did Carrie White ever do to you?"

This movie is a very good example of how teen films have developed to a genre, but also how the genre has created more sub-genres for example horror. Even thought the movie does have a lot of bloody scenes it still develops its story line through stereotypical teen mishaps. Carrie is ridiculed in front of the school which represents the embarrassing moments a teen goes through whilst growing up. There is always a couple that are in a relationship, the movie uses the problem of having to find a date for the prom, also being suspended from high school, and most of the time the shots are being located in the high school.

Carrie White played by Chloe Moretz is the stereotypical weirdo in the movie. She plays the geek/nerd/psychopath with supernatural powers.The writes use the stereotypical teenagers as a basis for each character in the movie. This means Carrie is the one excluded and bullied by other kids because she is the 'freak'

Sue Snell played by Gabriella Wilde is the stereotypical popular girl in the movie. She plays the girlfriend of the jock and the girl everyone is friends with. However in the movie her behavior doesn't necessarily stick with her stereotype because she doesn't proceed to bully Carrie as the other girls do.  

Chris Hargensen played by Portia Doubleday is the stereotypical bully in the movie. She is the one who mainly creates all the embarrassing moments for Carrie. Chris also plays innocent around the adults as a way to hide her intentions, always begging her father to help her out at school. However this character is stereotyped by depending on the other girls for help and is shown to be weak when she is by herself.






Tommy Ross played by Ansel Elgort is the stereotypical Jock in the movie.The boyfriend to the popular girl he plays the same role as a popular student. He is the stereotype of a good looking, friends with everyone, cool dude. This type of character is mostly ,if not always, used in American teen movies.
