Classic Horror Movie

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 1999)

I've read a lot of comments on here from people saying that the movie is "overrated". I've seen "Carrie" quite a few times, and I don't find it overrated. Dated, yes, but not overrated. I saw this again recently on Monstervision, and it caught me how good this movie really was for its time. Believe it or not, Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie were nominated for Oscars for their roles as Carrie and Margaret White, and the rest of the cast went on to successful careers afterwards. I agree the book and the movie are different in certain aspects (like the scene where Sue asks Tommy to take Carrie to the prom, for example). But overall it's a really great film.
