Based on the novel by Stephen King, CARRIE is the story of a young girl with telekinesis. The school wallflower and the brunt of her classmates' jokes, Carrie's revenge is the focus of this tense, stylish horror film. Blood runs rampant in this terrifying home to Hitchcockian macabre happenings. This is the film that made Sissy Spaceck a star and featured John Travolta and Amy Irving in their first important screen roles. CARRIE established director Brian DePalma as a new creative force in motion pictures.
