telekinetic powers? well if I ever did there would have been some seriously injured people in my high school days. make that daze. the crap I had to put up with from certain individuals between 1965 and 1970 was disgusting.
anyway, on to the story. Spacek is in a word brilliant in creating the spectrum of moods and emotions, and Travolta outdid himself as the hapless villain.
Carrie quickly graduates from flipping ash trays to flipping vehicles and setting them on fire. her glaring cold icy blue eyes, the only part of her body not covered in blood, in the scene where she slowly methodically steps off the stage and thru the crowd is a scene I always remember from the movies I have seen.
I think this was one of Stephen King's better works when he still was fresh and full of story ideas.
the believability brought to the production from many contributors makes this a scary but very watchable film. it freaked me out the first time and still does.
