Carrie
Directed by Brian De Palma
Based on the best-selling Stephen King novel, Carrie is a high school loner with no confidence, no friends... and no idea about the extent of her secret powers of telekinesis. But when her psychotic mother and sadistic classmates finally go too far, the once-shy teen becomes an unrestrained, vengeance-seeking powerhouse who causes all hell to break loose in a frenzy of blood, fire and brimstone! Piper Laurie, John Travolta, and Amy Irving are terrific in this horror classic.

Just watched carrie for the first time, very much lives up to the hype
Carrie is always a hit, and the scenes are iconic. will always be worth a watch
DePalma, King, Laurie, Spacek, Katt, Irving Allen & Travolta - radical.
I've watched Carrie so many times and yet it never loses its incredible emotional impact on me. It's one of my top five favorite horror movies of all time. Spacek as Carrie and Laurie Carrie's mother give LEGENDARY performances, but I think every single part of this movie is iconic and memorable. I really can't say enough about this film which is chock full of themes, symbols, one-liners, and beautiful score. Everybody should watch Carrie!!
Such a great movie. Rewatching it just now was so wonderful. There's so much right with this flick, the characters, the story, the revenge. One of the reasons I didn't do much bullying in school, lol
