A Modern Horror Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (10 February 2000)

MAY INCLUDE SOME SPOILERS
I'm sure that everyone has been made fun of for one thing or another in their life. That would make this the "every person's movie." Everyone can relate to being ridiculed and wanting revenge. That's why this movie is so cool. Carrie (brilliantly played by Sissy Spacek) gets her revenge on teachers, her principal, her classmates from the opening shower scene, and even her abusive mother in an excellent crucifixion scene. I found that this scene fit her mother's death perfectly. Being the "Christ wannabe" that she was, it was only fitting that she die in the same way. I first saw this movie when I was about 9 years old. It scared the s**t out of me. The look on Carrie's face as she unleashed her telekenetic power on her classmates is absolutely frightening. She was born for this role. The ending was also one of the high points in the film. It was one of the only scenes in a horror movie that really made me jump. After seeing this movie, I was afraid to go to the bathroom for fear of Carrie's arm popping out of the toilet (remember I was 9). A must see for all film fanatics.
