Audience Member Ok just watched it, great build up, and the ending was of course the best part of the movie. Maybe my decision is a bit influenced by the expactations i had, that it would be more gory and that she would go on a killing spree halfway theoguh the film, i thought its gonna be like sleepaway camp. But its fine how it is, phenomanal writing and great cinematography for a movie from that time Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Jaylen S A psychological roller coaster of terror but is also a roller coaster of emotions Carrie is a stunning film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Audience Member Classic horror film. Funny at times and suspenseful. The prom scene is epic. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Jeff M It's impossible to fathom that this movie is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year. Virtually everything about it has aged so beautifully that I think I'm ready to declare this the best horror film of the 70s, a designation that 1978's HALLOWEEN has held in my heart for many years. Both are masterpieces of the genre, but CARRIE just feels a bit more complex and emotionally engaging, something rare in a horror movie. Continuing with the hyperbole, I think it's also the best cinematic Stephen King adaptation - by a comfortable margin. In an era of school shootings and teenage violence, it now takes on a new and rather deeper perspective that probably wasn't intended, at least so specifically. Watching Carrie's climactic eruption brought upon by the merciless taunts of her classmates feels a lot more disturbing now. Spacek is extraordinary - I'm considering adding her to my All-Time Great Performances series - and although technically the "villain" of the piece, she brings such humanity and vulnerability to the role, one can't help but sympathize. Laurie is also fantastic in a performance that could have gone completely haywire but miraculously feels rooted in reality. Both were justifiably Oscar nominated. Director DePalma's joy and brilliance at filmmaking abound throughout, from camera shots to split screens to subtle and not so subtle homages to Hitchcock. I'm generally not a fan of the horror genre, but I think this is one of the few examples that transcends its roots and enters into the arena of true art. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Robert W This is a horror classic this is one of my favourites watch it if you haven't Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/24 Full Review Ray F Una película que para su época genera mucho terror con efectos un cuanto llamativos, en lo personal la mirada de carrie al momento de llevar a cabo un asesinato es muy dura y penetrante, con un final al estilo de los clásicos de terror.
