Classic Terror

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2017)

Carrie is one of my favourite all time horror movies even though it's not on my "best horror movies" list, if that makes sense? I think it's fun and very entertaining even though it's not a truly great piece of cinema, I mean.
Sissy Spacek is fantastic and I always thought she was an underrated actress despite her Oscar nomination(s) for her acting work. She should have been the star of a lot more movies/TV shows. This is one of her earliest and best starring roles.
It was and is a very "campy" movie, it is kind of predictable and silly at times but oh man the first time I saw it I thought it was so scary, especially the scene at the school dance. The end is so campy and you can see it coming a mile away but it still made me jump out of my theatre seat when I saw it.
Great fun!
