Original and the best version by far

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2020)

Way back in 76 before Danny Zuco had tried winning the heart of Sandy or had been struck down with Saturday Night Fever he was slaughtering pigs and knocking around with girls that were still in college ( yes i know he went back to Rydale High later).
He was also terrorising Sissy Spaceck who out of 4 attempts (76,02,12 carrie 2 rage) the queen of them all.
I will pick apart the others in their own reviews but this classic King adoption remains one of his finest works, one of the greatest films i saw as a kid on videotape and without the multi million CGI and SFX that we have now or what the other 2 versions had in the 21st century at their disposal.
This depended on good old fashioned acting capabilities, you feel for Carrie from the Start and Sissy takes you with her on such a ride that at the end you actually cheer inside even though you know its wrong.
A tale of the bully and the bullied both loosing. I dont give 10s out often but Stephen King does have a habit of getting high marks although i dont watch horror movies much this is one i enjoy returning to every so often.
Not seen it? You must...
