Spellbinding and highly influential horror movie that remains one of the true classics of the genre.
Carrie is a macabre fairy tale for the modern age oozing style and imagination.
Boasting the ultimate 70s High School cast (John Travolta, William Katt, P J Soles, Amy Irving and Nancy Allen) and featuring Sissy Spacek in a role she was seemingly born to play, Carrie is manipulative and horrifying, portraying the heartbreaking effects of being an outcast in society.
Stephen Kings first novel is brilliantly adapted by director Brian De Palma and his flashy and kinetic camerawork are a significant reason for the films immense success.
Reportedly one of the most watched movies on Halloween by American teens, its hard to deny its endless ability to shock and terrorise a whole new generation of Horror film watchers.
