Horror Classic.

A very full, rich story. Great acting all the way through. It will stick with you whether you enjoy the film or not. It is a timeless classic and unique from any movie you've seen in the past.

A must-see for any horror fan.

Carrie is a lonely girl with telekenitic powers. She starts using them when she is bullied and when she is irritated. The ending was a shock!

This was the first movie that ever scared the heck out of me. I was just a kid the first time I saw it, but it holds up after all these years. It's also one of the few examples of the movie being better than the book for Steven King fiction....

This was the first movie that ever scared the heck out of me. I was just a kid the first time I saw it, but it holds up after all these years. It's also one of the few examples of the movie being better than the book for Steven King fiction. Although the film is dated by the era in which it was made, the story itself is timeless. There is a little Carrie White in all of us. Who hasn't felt like an outcast, like a freak, like an unpopular nerd who will never get a date to the big dance? Everyone has felt like that at one time or another, and it is that universal alienation that makes this film a classic. The acting was wonderful for the most part. I believed. The direction was outstanding. Brian De Palma took liberties with the book, and it worked. There were some lighter moments in the film that emphasized the darker ones. Without the humor, I don't think the film would be as good as it is. Excellent movie for those who love the horror genre and an excellent film for people who just don't know how good horror can be.

Superb King adaptation is one of the scariest films ever made. Spacek is wonderful, and Piper Laurie is absolutely terrifying as Carrie's religious fanatic of a mother. The climax - beginning with the prom and ending with the hand - is a collection of some of the most haunting scenes ever filmed.
