Blood Bath

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2014)

Well Known and Well Respected Supernatural/Horror from Stephen King and Brian De Palma. This is the Film that put the Director on the Map. it is one of the Best Movies of the Seventies and at the Time it was a Highly Original, Modestly Budgeted Film that was, and is, Great to Look at and has many Cinematic Flourishes that De Palma has Developed over the Years.
This is one of His Best Movies and one of only a Few Stephen King Novels that actually made it to the Screen with Success both in Style and Profit. Sissy Spacek Embodies the Role and is Supported by a Spunky Cast, with Piper Laurie as Mama Unforgettable.
But it's Spacek and De Palma that make the Movie what it is. A Slightly Disturbing Coming of Age Movie that is Poetic and Punches its Theme with Bare Knuckles. There are Scenes that Simply Stay With You. The Shower Scene, the Prom Scene, the Crucifixion Scene, and Others.
Primary Colors Jump from the Screen as Carrie Literally takes a Blood Bath not Once but Three Times. A Deserved Classic of the Genre.
