CARRIE: A HORROR CLASSIC!

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2004)

28 years later, "Carrie" is still a masterpiece of horror. Amazing performances by a steller cast and brilliantly directed, this film stands alone and loses NONE of it's unsettling and grim shocks. Mostly everybody knows the story, so I won't go into that. But please ignore the tv re-make. It PALES in comparison. CARRIE is SCARY and still scary 28 years later..A horror classic that stands along side of "Psycho", "Halloween", and "The Shinning. Plus it features John Travolta in his first breakthrough big-screen performance, Sissy Spacec, Betty Buckley, P.J. Soles, and William Katt, among others. This is one of Brian De Palma's very best films and it still freaks me out when watched with the lights turne off....
