Book and Movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2008)

This story has been my favorite for a very long time now. Whether it be the book or movie, both are told with an eerie yet sympathetic view. Carrie was an unfortunate character, an outcast by no fault of her own. Her parents had very strange and horrifying religious perspectives on life. And poor Carrie suffered the most from this. I think there's a little of her in all of us in one way or another. As a young girl in high school, I was made fun of by the popular kids. I'm not saying I didn't have friends because I did, but on the whole everyone feels like they don't belong. The movie was very well done. The roles of Carrie and her mother were nominated for Oscars, which at that time, for a movie categorized as a horror film(which it wasn't) was unheard of. Sissy Spacek definitely earned that role. For all the die hard fans of the story like me, I strongly suggest the T.V. remake done in 2002, starring Angela Bettis in the lead. I'm looking for the ultimate T-shirt based on this story lol. This movie gets a rating of 10/10 from me, but if I could vote higher it would rate above 100.
