CarrieDiscographies Reviews This terrifying adaptation of Stephen King's bestselling horror novel was
directed by shock maestro Brian De Palma for maximum, no-holds-barred effect. Sissy Spacek
stars as Carrie White, the beleaguered daughter of a religious kook (Piper Laurie) and a
social outcast tormented by her cruel, insensitive classmates. When her rage turns into
telekinetic powers, however, school's out in every sense of the word. De Palma's horrific
climax in a school gym lingers forever in the memory, though the film is also built upon
Spacek's remarkable performance and Piper Laurie's outlandishly creepy one. John Travolta
has a small part as a thug, De Palma's future wife, Nancy Allen, is his girlfriend, and
Amy Irving makes her screen debut as one of the girls giving Carrie a hard time. The DVD
release has a widescreen presentation, Dolby sound, theatrical trailer, and optional
French subtitles. Buy The Movie
