scary

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2007)

This review might contain a spoiler.
This was a really good adaptation of the Stephen King novel, and it has earned the term "classic." The final scenes were the scariest and the best, as Carrie unleashes her powers and gets her revenge. Both Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie were perfect for their roles, with Sissy as the tormented Carrie and Piper as her religious fanatic mother. Carrie was tormented both at school by the cruel other girls and at home by her religious fanatic mother, and when she is finally pushed over the edge, she really gets her revenge. I think this was a great film, and I highly recommend it. It was well cast, well written, and well acted. It will remind you of what you felt like doing when you were tormented in high school.
