I'm at a loss for words. I'm taken a back to what I had witnessed unfold in front of me. Going in expecting to know what was gonna happen but left completely shocked and genuinely terrified. Stuck at a complete standstill for minutes on end as the now iconic prom scene unfolded and everything that followed afterwards.

Mostly because....I just felt so bad for her. Constantly being bullied, hurt, or disgraced in some fashion, always being left in the dust or the butt end of a joke. One moment for her, everything is absolutely perfect. She feels pretty, she feels as if this is her time to shine, and above anything else, she feels truly welcomed among the people who…

There are few things more awkward in this World than watching the opening credits of Carrie in the presence of your parents. Any teenage boy who has had to endure such a scenario will know just how uncomfortable it is. You just don’t know where to look! Worse still, if you’re in the boat that I was in when I first sat down to watch it, you’ve got the added dilemma of pretending that you’re enjoying it – but not too much – so as not to arouse suspicious glares from your parents who, despite your love of Abba and Duran Duran, are very much in the dark about your choices in life.

De Palma no decide irse por mostrar los elementos sobrenaturales para vender y mostrar horror a toda costa. Para nada.
Los utiliza para hacer un paralelismo sobre el camino a la madurez de la propia Carrie y como va sufriendo la…

First of all, Sissy Spacek is much prettier than everyone in this movie. Someone protect this girl, please. So cute.

    Anyway, the film is well filmed, taking some scenes that, my God, was a mistake (The spinning scene, you know what im talking about). But it's well filmed most of the time. The performances are very archetypical, the preppys are bad because they are. Only one of them that makes a bit of a redemption. But De Palma doesn't focus much on it. Carrie's mother has one more layer, just like the teacher, which is interesting. And of course, Carrie is the one that shines the most. Spacek does a great job.
