Carrie (1976, USA) C-98m. *** D: Brian DePalma. Starring Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, Amy Irving, William Katt, Betty Buckley, Nancy Allen, John Travolta, P.J. Soles. Unusual, now-classic horror drama about teenage girl Spacek, who is constantly picked at by her high school mates, and above all suffers under her fanatically religious mother. Slowly, telekinetic powers break loose inside her and pave the way for revenge… Bafflingly stylish, well-directed horror was the first Stephen King adaptation and is rightfully regarded today as one of the best. Spacek is exceptional. Screenplay by Lawrence D. Cohen, score by Pino Donaggio. Followed by a sequel in 1999 (THE RAGE: CARRIE 2).
