Hey guys, Jana here,
‘Carrie‘ is a fantastic read from the legendary master of chills – Stephen King. The novel has a special distinction for the movie world, it’s the first of King’s works to be adapted to feature film. The beginning of what is still a lucrative and exciting era of movies. Now director Brian DePalma’s spellbinding horror is celebrating it’s 40th anniversary with an all-new collector’s edition from Scream Factory on October 11th, just in time to have a spooky screening for Halloween.
Carrie White is the outsider of her class. She’s a mousy girl, all of her classmates hate her, and her mother is a religious fanatic who walks around in a black cape. After she unexpectedly has her first period, she is teased by the girls more ruthlessly than before. The gym teacher punishes the girls that were involved and one of them, Sue Snell, feels sorry for what she did and asks her boyfriend to take Carrie to the prom instead of her. But another girl that has been banned from the prom, Chris Hargenson, isn’t so forgiving and hatches an evil plan with her boyfriend that involves Carrie and a bucket full of pig’s blood. But what none of the students realize is that Carrie has the power of telekinesis, the power to move things with your mind, and that when you make her angry, she transforms from an innocent girl to a rage-filled monster. And this is gonna be a prom no one will ever forget.
‘Carrie‘ was more than just a horror movie, the film earned Academy Award nominations for Sissy Spacek who played the long-suffering daughter and for Piper Laurie who played the domineering mother. The film featured the first major film role for John Travolta, as well.
