Brian De Palma’s chilling adaptation of the Stephen King novel carefully balances the firestorm of teenage high school hell, familial trauma and sinister supernatural scares to create a terrifying masterpiece that culminates with one of the greatest climaxes in fright film history. In an unforgettable, Oscar-nominated performance, Sissy Spacek is Carrie, a timid teen dominated by cruel classmates and a fanatical mother (Piper Laurie). But newfound powers blossoming within her could prove problematic for her peers at the upcoming prom. Featuring stylish set pieces, razor-sharp Paul Hirsch editing, a haunting Pino Donaggio score, and an incredible ensemble cast that includes Amy Irving, John Travolta, William Katt, and Nancy Allen, Carrie is a stone-cold classic that demands to be seen on the big screen.
