Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2002)

A high school misfit (Sissy Spacek) who has been tourmented by her peers all of her life seeks revenge against everybody on prom night after a classmate dumps pigs blood all over her and ruining her one true moment of happiness.
Masterfully directed with a fine eye for detail. This features plenty of references to other groundbreaking films, especially Psycho. Sissy Spacek turns turns in a star making performance and Piper Laurie really stands out in the performance of a lifetime. The rest of the cast that includes Betty Buckley, Nancy Allen, Amy Irving, John Travolta, and PJ Soles also shine in well developed characterizations. Great score and effects too... and that ending is a WOW!!!
Rated R; Violence, Profanity, Nudity, and Sexual Situations.
