One of My Favorite Horror Movies

Rating: Null/10 (28 July 2009)

This is classic 70's. Every time I watch Carrie (1976) it's like going back to the mid-70's. The clothes, the hair, the mannerisms, what was cool all show so clearly in this movie. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie are excellent. Their characters work so well together. While it is unlikely anyone would actually do what these few very evil/cruel kids did, this movie highlights the real truth about how kids can be quite vicious and use a classmate as a scapegoat for everything wrong in their own life. I can watch Carrie over and over again. I never get bored. I sometimes skip to my favorite scenes ... there are many. The ending at the grave marker was so superbly done. I remember how everyone jumped out of their seats. The end comes with the soft music and the stream of characters. This is great movie making that still remains great after over three decades. Brian DePalma definitely shows his talent here.
