Carrie is one of the finest movies based on a Stephen King publication, as well as providing one of the most enduring final frights in cinematic history. It is directed by Brian De Palma whose wildly excited camera-work gives the impression that there’s something that isn’t quite right from the introduction and gradually builds to a powerful culmination.
The Lawrence D. Cohen screenplay has a generally sad tone with flickers of dark humour and makes itself available as a commentary on school shootings and several of the film's scenes have had a considerable impact on popular culture. Carrie was a critical and financial triumph, and Sissy Spacek (as Carrie White) justifiably earned a nomination for best actress at the 49th Academy Awards.
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. I’m not sure if that was…
Carrie
Is Directed by Brian De Palma
Written by: Lawrence D. Cohen and Larry Cohen
Starring: Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, and William Katt
And it's the story of Carrie White, a shy, friendless teenage girl who is sheltered by her domineering, religious mother, unleashes her telekinetic powers after being humiliated by her classmates at her senior prom.
And it's one of the best Stephen king's adaptation
I have ever seen. It's scary fun and weird
the performers are great and Sissy Spacek
as Carrie White is terrific. I have not read the book,
but I think that even the ones who read the book will
enjoy this movie.
Carrie gets a score of: 90%
Nest Review: Titanic
And then: Creepshow
And After That: 3:10 to Yuma
the scariest thing about this was the bad parenting and brian de palma's overly sexual way of filming a high school movie
Wow. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie are scary good in this. Both rightfully nominated for Oscars that year. Great Stephen King adaptation.
it was more male gazey than I remembered. loved the visuals, shimmering lens with glimmers and soft lights and then the fake bright red: blood cast on dreams.
didn’t remember the ending, I guess being ridiculed by a punch of idiot teenagers felt more traumatising than being stabbed by your mom...
A suspiciously lesbian vibe emanates from this movie. Felt like the director (or maybe it was just Steven King) likes the idea of gal-pals a little too much. Loved the unhinged woman part. Sis went OFF.
