Carrie was Brian De Palmas commercial breakthrough, and is based on the novel by Stephen King, plus it helped launch the new teen-based horror films!
High school students Sue Snell (Amy Irving), Chris Hargensen (Nancy Allen) and Billy Nolan (John Traviolta) plot to avenge themselves on fellow student and telekinetic Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) after getting in trouble for pelting her with tampons after she gets her first period, to the disgust of Carries religion-obsessed mother (Piper Laurie).
They get popular boy Tommy Ross (William Katt) to be her date for the prom, and the stage is set for some heart-rending cruelty and fiery retribution!
Carrie is still a great movie, with the use of split screens, slow motion, colour filters, and a clever soundtrack still makes this essential viewing!
Here is the trailer...
