The best adaptation of a Stephen King novel.

Rating: 9/10 (25 June 2004)

I wanted to see this movie when I was 10 (in 2000), but I wasn't allowed because of the nudity. Probably two years later I was allowed to watch it, and I thought that it was great. Sissy Spacek did a wonderful job as Carrie White, the typical tormented teenager...with mysterious powers she is just getting used to. Talk about puberty problems! Anyway, Piper Laurie just plain freaked me out. Her portrayal of Miss White, Carrie's mom, send chills down my spine. She was just so strange. I had read the book, and knew about the prom scene. I couldn't wait to see that part, and when it came on, I was like "wow". It was done brilliantly. The soundtrack to the movie was very wonderful (I just won a copy of the CD on eBay). I thought that it was actually better than "The Shining". 9/10
