good, freaky movie with a lesson

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2003)

people get pushed to the edge. look around you. all these shootings at high schools..... kids are cruel and mean if you're the least bit different. everyone has been teased at least once in their life. it doesn't feel to good. it probably doesn't feel to hot when a bunch of people are in on it. carrie is the perfect example of a person pushed to the edge. her life isn't that easy. her neurotic mother and the kids at school pressure her. one day after P.E. carrie is in the shower. she has her period. she has no idea what is going on. you would think she would know about the "female functions" at this point in her life. the girls throw pads and tampons at her. one girl, sue, feels guilt for taking part in this mean action. her and the gym teacher are the only two people who seem to pitty carrie. sue tries to help carrie. her boyfriend tommy, the school's popular hunk, asks her to the senior prom. carrie is thrilled. this nice act backfires terribly. what she doesn't know is that kris, the school's meanest "beeeyach", is planning a prank on her. everyone is surprised by the prank. carrie goes mad. her powers go haywire. this movie shows what can happen as a result of the childish actions of a bunch of snot nose brats. if you make fun of people to boost yourself than shame on you. this movie seems to teach a good lesson here. one of stephen king's horror stories being a lesson? hmmmmm.......... the movie isn't the least bit scary. sure its a little eerie and freaky. it makes you feel sorry for people like carrie white. think twice about how you treat people. because you could push someone to the edge with your cruel mouth. 8 stars out of 10...............
