I can see your dirty pillows. Everyone will.

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2008)

I am sure that I've seen this film before, but I watched it again to see how Stephen King managed to write a story that captured teen-aged angst amidst bullying and popularity contests.
Sis Spacek was simply incredible and it is no surprised that she got the first Academy Award nomination for a horror film. Piper Laurie was also superb as her mother and got a well-deserved nomination herself.
The effects and cinematography were superb, as was Brian De Palma's direction.
I also liked seeing some people in their first or early roles like Amy Irving (Yentl) in her first role on the big screen; RoboCop's Nancy Allen; John Travolta in his second screen appearance; and P. J. Soles (The Devil's Rejects) in one of her first roles.
A great horror movie about teen life.
