Creepy Carrie! Creepy Carrie!

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2015)

A) It isn't long enough and B)It frays from the original novel a tad much. Watching Carrie almost forty years after its release is strange as it seems more relevant than ever and so of course they had to bloody remake it, of course they did. Watch the original, it's amazing. Sissy Spacek shines behind wisps of strawberry blonde hair and balances out the campy yet undeniably horrifying performance of Piper Laurie as Carrie's mother, who was deservedly nominated for an Oscar afterwards. The film is noteworthy for its beautifully iconic and startling scenes. It was Stephen King's first published novel, John Travolta's first mainstream role and my first horror film. A true classic.
