Producer-director Brian de Palma's 1976 treatment of Stephen King's first novel, a lurid tale of modern Gothic horror, has two sequences that'll make you jump from your seat. It's a psychological study of mousy teenager Sissy Spacek who…

Final Results: S++ Rank, Top Honors. Sissy Spacek embodies the awkwardness of a teenage outcast in a bloody romp through hell. The 1970s flavor in this movie is…

Classic horror flick. Sissy Spacek is creepy as hell as the titular character. It's a little corny compared to horror movies now given the advancement of special effects and movie scores but it's still worth a watch.
I loved this book by Stephen King, a young teenager who possess a great power with her mind. One night at her senior prom, Carrie had been embarrassed one too many times. She then takes her power to the very abrupt level, taking out all…

You're welcome for bringing this classic to the library. The only reason this film gets a four and a half stars, is that the music score is rather annoying,. Other than that, this film is really good, its scary, slightly humorous, and…

Chloe Grace Morentz owns her performance, Julianne Moore follows through, and Ansel Elgort gives an excellent breakout performance. Also, the updates to modern day are seamless to the point you wouldn't know the book and original film…

Aside from being really stupid, it's actually a pretty awful movie. (I didn't remember it being that absurd, over done, with midland or less writing & production quality, when I was a teen. Funny how that works... : )
Don't waste your…

As the DVD cover states it so well: "All hell breaks loose when a tortured, misfit teenager (that's Sisssy Spacek) unleashes her secret telekinetic powers against her psychotic mother (Piper Laurie created this character with her…

One of cinema's ultimate operatic teenage melodramas. I have seen "Carrie" more times than I can count, and yet it never loses its uncommon heartbreak and blood-curdling dramatic power.

A decent adaptation but it doesn't have the style and excitement of the DePalma-directed original which nabbed Oscar nominations for both Sissy Spacek and Laurie Piper as the daughter and mother respectively. Chloe Moretz is very talented…

Ticket! I saw this at the movies
and I have this movie. It was
so cool. To see Carrie get
revenge on her mother and her
classmates! That is an awesome
special power to have!

Great horror movie from the 70's about a high school girl with telekinesis. Sissy Spacek is great in the lead role. Director Brian De Palma is actually quite a funny filmmaker, something many critics gloss over.

The original movie directed by Brian De Palma and starring Sissy Spacek. Contains the usual tongue in cheek humour of De Palma in this satirical look at teenage life in the 1970's- and I'm sure it still holds relevance for the current…

Honestly, I think this is one of the greatest movie. Even though it's not scary.

Just re-watched this oldie but goodie with my moms! Couldn't believe she had never seen it...she thought it would be too scary...it's really not scary, it's more about the age-old misunderstood teen. The title teen just happens to have…
