The horrors of being an American teen, told through the De Palma's playfully unnerving lens.

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2019)

Similar to Frankenstein, Carrie is one of the few horror "monsters" in which your loyalties and sympathies are 100% with her. Spacek is truly wonderful; broken, naïve, and scary. What she becomes is almost completely brought on by her upbringing. In fact, the movie really serves as an argument for nurture being more important than nature...we even see this in the real monsters: the other teens.
