Having re-watched the original tonight, it's pretty terrible how much is the same. The locker room scene is almost an exact copy, down to the "plug it up". "Creepy Carrie" from the boy on the bike and "dirty pillows".
I wouldn't be surprised if they had to credit the original screen writer.

Having said that, I can't really decide which I prefer. Like 'The Hitcher' &'Nigtmare' I think I like both the original and remake equally.
Controversially, I think I prefer both Chloe and definitely Julianne in the roles. Although I think Chloe is too 'pretty' even before prom.
That's not to knock Sissy and Piper's performances. I think both were also brilliant.
I definitely think the remake's more successful in setting up the background and character development.
