    I love this movie. Some say it's scary, some say it's more depressing, I think it's a combination of both. And it definitely sums up the term 'high school is hell'. Anybody else got an opinion about it?

    Definetly scary, Piper Laurie alone was scary enough, imagine having a mother like that?? Sissy Spacek really pulled it off as the meek little school girl turned WILD on prom night!

    Nobody would ever guess she was 27 playing a 16 year old...and I heard she got the part by auditioning, having not washed her hair, with vaseline rubbed on her face, and wearing a dress her mother made for her in the 7th grade. Which makes sense because the clothes she wore in the movie looked like they should've been for a 13 or 14 year old.

    I often put The Exorcist and Carrie together because both involve teenaged girls who seem to be taken over by an evil force or power, by no fault of their own, even though Reagan is supposed to be this little girl and Carrie's in high school, I always lump the two girls together when thinking about one, I go to the other.

    Thats pretty clever of Sissey Spacek to do something like that thanks for the info. Given a choice between Reagan and Carrie, Carrie is my fav. Sissy Spacek made it as an actress after Carrie, Linda Blair went on to star in a bunch of B horror movies and other movies that bombed out.

    The prom scene is bananas! The silent rage in Cissy Spacek's big eyes piercing thru all the blood, saying "You are ALL fucked now!"

    The scene that disturbed me the most was near the end, when the guy and girl were trying to run Carrie down after prom and she turned the car over and then blew it up. Very eerie.

    The book was even better for the post-prom terror though...before Chris and her boyfriend are even in the car, they're shacked up in some hotel or motel when the word comes in that half of the town is on fire and burning down, and we all know what started it. I would've LOVED to see that part play out more like the book, like instead of just things go bonkers at prom, she's destroying half of the town because they pushed her too far.

    That was John Travolta in the car.

    Yes, I love the movie. Piper Laurie's performance was outstanding.

    It was OK. A little cliche at the very end. I enjoyed the book more.

    Not when it first came out. Last night Stephen King was on TCM talking about when he and his wife went to see Carrie, it was on a double bill with Red Fox and they were about the only white people in the audience; and in the Bravo's 100 Scariest movie moments, he said there were two huge black men in front of them at the theater, and at the end, they're screaming and hugging each other like children and one looked to the other and said 'dat's it, dat's it, she ain't NEVER gonna be right!' laughing Oh to be that innocent when viewing it.

    Carrie never gets old. First time I saw it was as a kid when it aired on TV, later I rented it from the video store. The movie is just bloodcurdling, but Carrie herself is very sympathetic, despite her ability to exact revenge when pushed. I should head on over to Amazon and order the DVD.

    Check this out.
