Movie Reviews of Carrie

Movie Review: One of the Very Best.... Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars

Quite simply, Carrie is one of the finest masterpieces to hit the motion picture screen. No other than Sissy Spacek could have played the downtrodden, bullied young girl with telekentic powers who is the brunt of everyone's jokes. To make matters worse, she lives with her crazed, religious mother who complicates life for her bullied daughter. Piper Laurie is superb in this role and should have received co-top billing, rather than John Travolta. He was actually the weak link in the whole story, yet he received co-billing. But that aside, Carrie gets her revenge and those who tormented her pay a terrible price! The prom scene is one of the most gripping I've ever seen. Acting, photography and Brian de Palmas expert directing make Carrie one great film!

Summary of Carrie

This terrifying adaptation of Stephen King's bestselling horror novel was directed by shock maestro Brian De Palma for maximum, no-holds-barred effect. Sissy Spacek stars as Carrie White, the beleaguered daughter of a religious kook (Piper Laurie) and a social outcast tormented by her cruel, insensitive classmates. When her rage turns into telekinetic powers, however, school's out in every sense of the word. De Palma's horrific climax in a school gym lingers forever in the memory, though the film is also built upon Spacek's remarkable performance and Piper Laurie's outlandishly creepy one. John Travolta has a small part as a thug, De Palma's future wife, Nancy Allen, is his girlfriend, and Amy Irving makes her screen debut as one of the girls giving Carrie a hard time. --Tom Keogh
