Great movie, I loved Piper Laurie!!

Rating: 9/10 (17 October 2003)

*** Spoiler Alert ***
I thought that Carrie was a great movie, and I think that this is how King would have wanted his book to be portrayed in a movie. The acting was remarkable, the music gripping, the direction good, and the plot amazing, even touching at times, something that isn't usually expected of horror movies. Piper Laurie was brilliant in this, and was exactly how I had pictured Margaret White in the book. All in all, this is a really good movie, but doesn't really stick to the ending of the book too much, even though the rest is pretty similar. The ending is nonetheless great and really freaky with Carrie's bloodied hand... very freaky.
