Carrie meets X-Men meets Cloverfield (I haven’t seen it yet, but someone also referenced Super 8). In other words, if those movies are appealing to you, you’ll love this one, but if Columbine references are a trigger, I warn you to avoid it. Important lesson of Chronicle: it doesn’t matter if you have people who love you if you fail to acknowledge it & alienate yourself. Don’t listen to the devil, the bullies & that inner voice that says no one loves you because it is a liar. One time that I welcome the prospect of a sequel.
