What makes it different from others?
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Carrie isn't much of a film. It doesn't venture into any depth, it is just paper thin with an uninteresting conclusion. Sissy Spacek is the part and it is well acted by all parties, but there just isn't anything here. I honestly can't remember where the time went, slow moving scenes, gym class, going to the prom, sitting, dancing. Yet not enough time is invested in learning about Carrie, her mother or Sue. There is just too much nothingness to give any of it importance and the Tommy character is just unwritten. His personality says he wants to be in on it, yet he still takes Carrie and why is Sue with him? Awful writing, grrr.
Mousy teen Carrie White may be ostracized, but she has the ability to move objects with her mind. When the high school "in crowd" torments her with a sick joke at the prom, she lashes out with devastating and deadly power.This film is so well made that Hollywood should never ever had remade this. The actors in this are as good as it gets. It also has a vibe that could never be duplicated. Both Piper Laurie and Sissy Spacek landed Academy Award nominations. The film has one memorable scene after another. Don't watch it alone!!
Very well done. Sissy Spacek gave an excellent performance and Brian De Palma directed this movie fantastically. This was scary, sad, and definitely a classic to the horror movie genre.
The movie is about a shy teenage girl Carrie Carrieta White.She lives with her insane mother.In school girls bully Carrie.(spoiler) Carrie finds out that she have telekinesis... The movie is quite good,very shiny,Sissy and Piper are acting very good.Movie is very sad,scary and had a very important message for bullies.Story abot life,death,and powers.Great movie with great music.
