The Rage: Carrie 2 explores adolescent trauma through a focus on female-driven ability to act and psychological depth. It shifts the horror genre's emphasis away from traditional masculine leadership. However, the film remains confined to the cinematic structures of the late 20th century. It lacks the layered complexity needed to address broader social issues and straight-centered assumptions. Overall, while it offers meaningful representation for its female protagonist, its limited casting and adherence to traditional narratives restricts its potential for broader social commentary.
