Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

cinephile-27690 This is a review I have been meaning to write. Few horror movies entertain me from open to finish, but this is one. I feel a connection with Carrie as I was too sheltered and had to go through a lot of teasing from it. I was not chased by my Mom with a knife or into a prayer closet but I could not see Harry Potter and God was very much in the center of my life. (And now, too, but not as strictly.) For Carrie, she does not know about periods until she has her first at school-to which she thinks she is dying. When she snaps and uses telekinesis to terrorize her bullies and mother, it has some pretty frightening and unexpected images. This a horror movie that does what it's supposed to-scare you! Many don't because I know what is about to happen. This does not and that is refreshing.

bombersflyup 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.

chrisw-17947 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.

joshfedderson In our lives we all feel shy and timid, especially when we were teenagers trying to figure out who we were. Steven King's story of "Carrie" explains that to an excellent point.Carrie White is a shy, timid, and frightened teenage girl with absolutely no friends, her mother is a religious nut case who thinks everything wrong is a sin. On top of that girls at school tease her and make fun of her. But Carrie keeps a secret, that no one, not even her mother knows about. In situations when Carrie is extremely upset, she can move things with her mind also known as Telekinesis. The first half of the movie she doesn't know what to make of this, and the only one who seems to actually care about Carrie is her High School Gym Teacher.During the movie you feel bad for Carrie, a lot of us don't realize what bullying can do to our minds. During these times, the film shows us how innocent Carrie is, especially during the shower scene when she has her first period, the poor girl is totally frightened and the other girls are just standing there and laughing at her and throwing Gauze pads. Throughout the film you just want to help Carrie, the film makers do a good job of showing how innocent she is. One day a boy ask her to the prom, an unsure Carrie rejects him at first, but then as time goes on she goes against her mothers wishes and goes with him. The prom scene is one of the best points in the movie, I won't give away things but her power or "Gift" goes full out of control, it just shows how much anger and resentment the timid Carrie kept bottled up inside and how at this point she literally releases a "Hell have no fury like a woman scorned" power against all those who were against her, as well as those who cared for her. The story of Carrie has some value or morals to it, A shy timid girl is trying to fit into society but her mother and background do not help at all with that. At some points in our lives, don't we all feel like Carrie? We try to fit in with others, but yet we get mocked and scorned because we are different then those around us. I know in High school I did see a lot of that, people had their own groups. I for one can sympathize with Carrie because, honestly, in High school I was a loner. Sure, I had a good group of people I knew but mostly I did things by myself, I was shy and timid just like Carrie and yes, I did get made fun of now and then. I think this movie would be good to show high school kids because of the morals and values it teaches, but then again it is a horror movie and rated R. But I liked Carrie because I could relate to her is some ways.The Ending of Carrie was sad, being innocent the poor girl finally realizes that her unique gift is a curse. And her mother, being the nut job that she is shows just how insane she is at the end of the movie. But then again the ending makes you think if Carrie is really innocent or not, by a creepy dream of one of her classmates have. The ending scared the crap out of me, but that's just another fun trick the Master of Horror has up his sleeves. 10/10 for Steven Kings "Carrie"
