This classic horror movie based on Stephen King's first novel stars Sissy Spacek as Carrie White, a shy, diffident teenager who is the butt of practical jokes at her small-town high school. Her blind panic at her first menstruation, a result of ignorance and religious guilt drummed into her by her fanatical mother, Margaret (Piper Laurie), only causes her classmates' vicious cruelty to escalate, despite the attentions of her overly solicitous gym teacher (Betty Buckley). Finally, when the venomous Chris Hargenson (Nancy Allen) engineers a reprehensible prank at the school prom, Carrie lashes out in a horrifying display of her heretofore minor telekinetic powers. Many films had featured school bullies, but Carrie was one of the first to focus on the special brand of cruelty unique to teenage girls. Carrie's world is presented as a snake pit, where the well-to-do female students all have fangs -- even the reticent Sue Snell (Amy Irving) -- and all the males are blind pawns, sexually twisted around the fingers of Chris and her evil cronies. The talented supporting cast includes John Travolta, P.J. Soles, and William Katt. One of the genre's true classics, the film was followed by a sequel in 1999, as well as by a famously unsuccessful Broadway musical adaptation that starred Betty Buckley, the movie's gym teacher, as Margaret White.

I am as aware as anyone that Carrie has been remade twice since this first chilling 1976 adaptation of the horrifying debut novel by Stephen King was released so many decades ago. I have even seen the second adaptation, a 2002 TV movie, several times because I like it almost as much as I like this movie. But I grew up with this version, a film that terrified me when I was little. I have, however, always liked this movie very much, enough that I consider it a favorite. The heartbreaking story of Carrie White, an ordinary teenager who is bullied relentlessly by her classmates and peers, and by her insanely religious mother, is a gripping and powerful portrait of what it must be like to be a girl who is always ostracized and treated viciously by teens who think of her as an outsider who is way too different from them. Sue Snell, one of her former tormentors, is now a girl who not only feels genuine sympathy for Carrie, but also feels extremely ashamed of a heartless prank she and her friends played on Carrie in the shower room at school. She, unfortunately, seems to be one of the few people who feel any empathy for her. But no one but Carrie herself is aware of her extraordinary and potentially deadly psychic power. When her tormentors commit one more act of unforgivable humiliation at the senior prom, they will learn her secret the hard way... because her uncontrollable rage will motivate her to use her power to turn the prom into a living hell! With stylish directing by Brian DePalma, excellent practical special effects, and fantastic performances by Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, and Amy Irving, this faithful film is a jolter that horror fans who love Stephen King will want to see again and again!
