What are the major story differences between Carrie (1976 movie), the remake, Carrie (2013 movie), and the Stephen King novel of the same? There are no major differences but many of the details are different. The biggest difference I noticed was Carrie's killing of Chris was longer and more painful.
It has cheesy dialogue and all the effects that come with a TV movie, but Bettis was phenomenal as Carrie. the 1976 is the best movie adaptation, but Angela Bettis played a better Carrie White. But the book was better in the end!

Sixteen-year-old Carrie White is a shy teenage girl who lives with her fanatically religious and unstable mother, Margaret, and is a loner and bullied by her peers.
Sue rushes to an after-game party at Mark Bing's mansion, but Rachel has already been humiliated and is in a rage.

Alas, she let her telekinesis get the better of her and this, coupled with all the abuse she suffered, caused her to undergo a villainous transformation and rebirth.

Parents need to know that although it's far less graphic than other horror movies, this film adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel of the same name does include some fairly intense, emotional scenes of violence, death, and destruction. Carrie's mother is abusive to her and even threatens her life.
All told, Pierce figures the crew used about 1,000 gallons of fake blood to remake Carrie, 500 just to test the blood dump. That's five gallons of blood used in 50 bucket dumps. But it was worth it. "Pretty much everyone who has seen (the scene) has liked it," says Pierce.
Violence & Scariness. Violence includes cruel pranks, murder, and self harm. The movie opens with a bloody unassisted birth after which the mother nearly kills her newborn. Chris is depicted as sadistic; she cuts a pig's throat, pours a bucket of pig's blood on Carrie, and later tries to run over her with a car.
Behind closed doors, Carrie was also beaten by her mother into submission on a daily basis and regularly slapped Carrie in the face, grabbed, dragged, violently shoved and locked into a prayer closet by her mother.
After Carrie got drenched in blood, several of her peers did begin laughing. Carrie's mother had previously planted a seed in her mind the idea that "they're all gonna laugh at you," so, in Carrie's mind, everyone was laughing, including Miss Collins (Betty Buckley)—when in reality, very few were.
Heartbroken and betrayed by her own kin, Carrie screams in agony, allowing her power to consume and destroy, and she dies after her house topples under the weight of her trauma-fueled angst.
Carrie thought about killing her, but realized that Sue was sorry and was pregnant with a girl, so she pushed her out of the house as a rain of stones destroy Carrie's house, thus saving Sue's life. Sue is later seen at a courtroom, where she tried to defend her testimony of The Black Prom.
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.
