It feels very 70’s at some points but CARRIE is INCREDIBLY BRILLIANT ! The music, the acting, the story of course… ! It’s together the best De Palma movie AND the best Stephen King adaptation ! Ain’t life grand ? See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Nov 19 Not usually a movie De Palma does, but it's one of the most important horror movies.

See more Luis Ivan M Nov 7 A classic horror film, based on a Stephen King novel. It’s an impressive work for its time, with excellent camerawork, strong production design, and solid performances. The writing is also commendable, maintaining a clear focus on its central theme and story; though much of that credit naturally goes to the source material. That said, the film isn’t without its flaws. Some character motivations remain unclear for much of the runtime and only become fully understandable by the third act. The pacing generally works, but there are moments where tension lingers too long; where we already anticipate what’s coming, yet the film keeps hammering the same beat. This likely resonated with audiences at the time but feels dated today, slightly diminishing the overall impact. The score, while effective in parts, occasionally feels overused and derivative. Its resemblance to Hitchcock’s Psycho theme in particular can be distracting. As a horror film, it certainly delivers, even if modern audiences might not find it as frightening. A bit more explicit violence, unsettling imagery, or jump scares could have elevated the fear factor, but again, this restraint reflects the era in which it was made. Taking all this into account, it remains an enjoyable and well-crafted film. While it may not fully hold up in every regard, it’s still easy to recommend, especially for classic horror enthusiasts and fans of Stephen King adaptations. See more Read all reviews
