There isn't a movie quite like it.

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2019)

A rather campy and hysterical horror of a kind they wouldn't make now, probably for good reason.
But the resulting uniqueness in its style makes it a strangely disquieting if unsubtle experience.
It's hard not to fall in love with Jolie Laide, Carrie and the plot gives every clue we are going someplace terrible without getting macabre till toward the end.
Not always dignified; Carries mother is a laugh and at one point they actually fast forward the footage.
But it is enchanting and hypnotic. While James Wan shows us a monster and then has us trying to escape it as if it were a Spielberg Movie, this is post-tonal recount of an unfortunate situation that turned into a nightmare.
