Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2001)

Carrie White is a young, shy, mousy girl who doesn't have any friends. One day, when she is taking a shower in school, she sees that she has her first period. Not knowing anything about periods, he classmates taunt her about it. One of them takes pity on her though and gets her boyfriend to take Carrie to the prom. Tommy ends up agreeing and asks Carrie to the prom. Carrie says yes and is obviously very happy and excited about a popular, handsome guy asking her out. Another girl though who has been banned from the prom for her bad behaviour plans a trick to embarrass Carrie in front of the whole school. What she and everyone else don't realise though is that Carrie is a special girl with a gift (She has telekinetic powers.) and you really don't want to mess with her, when she's angry.
Carrie is a movie based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. The book is great and the movie is just as brilliant. The special effects used are great and the movie from beginning to end is simply amazing.
Director Brian De Palma does a wonderful job directing and Lawrence D. Cohen does a just as brilliant job writing the movie. They are joined by a wonderful cast, including, Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, Amy Irving and a very young John Travolta .
