Directed by Brian De Palma1h 38m1976
Withdrawn and sensitive teenager Carrie White faces bullying from her classmates and abuse from her fanatically pious mother. When she begins to suspect that she has supernatural powers, things take a dark and violent turn.
Our read: Carrie (1976) reads as a heavy, steady, grounded horror entry — extreme in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Heavy, steady, extreme horror, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
