The one King movie I LOVED!

Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2004)

Man was this a great movie! Even after all these years this tale can haunt! I'm not a big king fan but this is my favorite of his books and the ONLY movie of his that I actualy liked.
I remember growing up thinking about the cruelty of young people and how venoumous it could be. If maybe the story of Carrie could just make an impression on even a FEW children so they could absorb how much childhood taunts and teasing can permanently DAMAGE a person then this movie might actually be more then entertainment and might save some people a lot of pain. Having gone to a school where I knew all kinds of kids, many of them very similiar to the tormentors of Carrie I can say WITHOUT a shadow of a doubt this story nails the angst and heartbreak of the teenage years to a tee. The ONLY PERSON I didn't "recognize" in the story was Tommy. Honestly, I don't know very many true life males who would have done what he did, at least not in my school.I have to check out the actor who played him,other then "superman" I don't think I've seen quite a noble male character in movies. At any rate-the beauty of a story like "Carrie" is how unforgettable it is,after all these years it's still loved and still watched frequently.
