Another great Stephen King movie

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2018)

I thought that I knew exactly how this movie ended, but it turns out I was wrong. I'm actually glad of it so the ending wasn't quite spoiled for me. Everyone remembers the ending of the film or rather one of the last scenes in the movie. This is a great movie throughout the entire running time. Even in the first scenes, we see Carrie struggle with puberty. We're not sure how many people die in the end. The last scene is truly haunting.
The best performance might be Carrie's mother. From a certain point of view, her reaction to her daughter's telekinesis could be considered realistic given her personality. I heard that the actress who played her mother thought that she was in a comedy. She even holds that view up to this day. You feel sorry for Carrie and the few people who sincerely care about her. This is a great horror film. ***1/2
