Carrie
Leaving August 31
•
1h 38m
Directed by Brian De Palma • 1976 • United States
Starring Sissy Spacek, John Travolta, Piper Laurie
The very first film adaptation of a Stephen King novel remains one of the finest—a still-shocking horror classic that has engraved itself onto the pop-culture consciousness thanks to the operatically stylized direction of Brian De Palma and brilliant performances from Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie. Carrie (Spacek) is a young loner with no confidence, no friends, and no idea of the extent of her secret powers of telekinesis. But when her psychotic, fanatically religious mother (Laurie) and sadistic classmates finally go too far, the once-shy teen causes all hell to break loose in a frenzy of blood, fire, and brimstone.
