Creepy Carrie! Creepy Carrie! Creepy Carrie!

Rating: 5/10 (2 June 2014)

It's all mind over matter.
Carrie White doesn't wield an axe, turn her head around backwards, drink blood, or eat human flesh, but she sure can do some real neat tricks with telekinesis.
This evocative story of a high school misfit sadly degenerates too quickly into cheap, gory, melodrama when Carrie unleashes her powers in revenge against those who mocked her.
All wrapped up with an ending that clearly contained all the tell-tale signs of "Carrie 2 - Coming Soon" written all over it.
P.S. - With this film now being 40 years old, it's plain to see how dated it really is.
I thought that Piper Laurie's portrayal as Carrie's mother, the self-righteous, Christian kook, was one of this film's stand-out performances.
