Great Acting and Wonderful cinematography make this horror film Shine.

Rating: Null/10 (26 February 2003)

The whole entire cast of Carrie can really act! All of them are excellent in their roles and truely believable. Nancy Allen plays a bitch so well and Piper Laurie really makes you think she is psycho. And Sissy Spacek really makes you feel for her and plays a sad outcast so well...when in real life she actually won homecoming queen and was liked by just about everyone....go figure. The rest of the cast including John Travlota, William Katt, and Piper Laurie took their small roles and really made their characters developed. Even the extras or one liners make were great! And dont think I forgot Amy Irving as Sue Snell. She really had the role of the sweet girl next door but with a twist...she did wrong and wasn't all virginal and holy but knew what was right and did a fantastic job with emotions. The film also looks sooo good, especially for a 70's flick. The style and camera work is excellent and the long one shot at the prom was amazing...and of course the famous pigs blood and telekinetic frenzy was shocking...I think a little more should of been done besides the water hose and some fire...but still good. Now besides all that...this film really is a great film. Its not just another horror movie, it's a character epic that will have you laughing, crying, screaming, and enjoying.
