Rating: Null/10 (20 March 1999)

This movie was one of the scariest I have ever seen. There is so much getting to know Carrie people thought it should be a drama, but in order for movies to be scary you must get to know the character, and that is why Carrie is so nerve-racking. Some acting in the water-hose scene was a little over-played but that scene was the best in the whole movie i.e. the split screen and the beautiful cinamatography. People must realize the less killing there is through out a movie the scarier is it. One thing that makes this movie scary is the mostly silent scenes where the erie music is playing, that is beautiful thinking. And the scene where (don't read this if you haven't seen it) Carrie's mom pulls the knife on her is so perfect because of the right music timing. Great acting and directing is what made this extremely scary. If this isn't some scary stuff I don't know what is....thanx
p.s. I will admit I have not read the book so it may be better.
