Carrie
HorrorThriller98 min
Carrie White is a shy high school outsider, hemmed in by classroom cruelty and the suffocating religious zeal of her mother, Margaret. Sissy Spacek is Carrie, a withdrawn teenager whose fear and anger begin surfacing as telekinetic power, while Piper Laurie's Margaret turns home into its own kind of punishment. Around her, classmates drift between pity and taunting, with Amy Irving's Sue and John Travolta's Billy among the students circling the coming prom night. Brian De Palma frames the story around adolescent humiliation, religious obsession, and a supernatural power Carrie can barely control.
