For those with high school nightmares.

Rating: Null/10 (27 April 2002)

The first and (in my opinion) the best adaptation of a Stephen King novel, and ironically his first, so that says a lot. I can most definetly relate to Sissy Spacek's character; a high school wallflower with telekinetic abilities who doesn't fit in with the "haves" crowd. She doesn't get much help from her fundamentally religious fanatic mother (played to the hilt by Piper Laurie). However, on the night of her senior prom, she uses those powers at full throttle for the last time. Anyone who has experienced the cruelty and shame of being anyone's scapegoat in high school will definetly appreciate this classic. It may also be Brian De Palma's one true masterpiece (although "Scarface" certainly had its share of moments.
