Be careful who you pick on

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 2002)

Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) is a bashful and at times rather clumsy teenaged girl who is forever being picked on and humiliated by her peers. She is also constantly being hassled by her overprotective mother (Piper Laurie). When her high school's prom comes along and her peers actually make her a prom queen, Carrie begins to realize that she may be liked after all. However, it all turns out to be a set up as her peers have positioned a bucket of blood above the stage and release it to pour all over her. For a few seconds, everybody except Carrie enjoys a good laugh at her expense but at this point, Carrie decides that it's time to finally let out years of pent up rage and not being able to stand up for herself so she does so....with very deadly results. Vintage blood and guts horror thriller from the late 1970's and a faithful adaptation of Stephen King's bestselling novel of the same name.
