Carrie (Special Edition)
Based on the best-selling Stephen King novel, Carrie "catches the mind, shakes it and refuses to let it go" (Time)! Starring Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie (in OscarÂ(r)-nominated* performances), John Travolta and Amy Irving, this ultimate revenge fantasy is "absolutely spellbinding" (Roger Ebert), "outrageously witty" (Los Angeles Times) and one of the all-time great horror classics! At the center of the terror is Carrie (Spacek), a tortured high-school misfit with no confidence, no friends...and no idea about the extent of her secret powers of telekinesis. But when her psychotic mother and sadistic classmates finally go too far, the once-shy teen becomes an unrestrained, vengeance-seeking powerhouse who, with the help of her 'special gift,' causes all hell to break loose in a famed cinematic frenzy of blood, fire and brimstone! *1976: Spacek, Actress; Laurie, Supporting Actress more

2.5 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line:Though a fairly competant horror film, Carrie tones down the scale of Stephen King's horrific vision to its own detriment; additionally, Piper Laurie's hystrionics are more laughable than scary.

It's neither scary nor suspenseful at all.
It's neither scary nor suspenseful at all. The acting is stiff. The movie is boring. There are only 2 scenes with good special effects. The last one is where the truck was wrapped around a pole.So far, my only favorite movie adapted from Stephen King's novel is The Mist (2008)

Slow dancing with the devil...
Stephen King is known as the `king' of horror, and `Carrie' is the story that made him famous. In fact, it was after the massive reception that `Carrie' received as a mass market paperback novel that King was able to quit his day job; literally. The film adaptation also received major critical...

Another Hard-Core Classic!!!
This movie is very creepy. A teenaged girl named Carrie White is always being picked on and made fun by the sexy teenaged girls. (Her psycho God-crazed mom doesn't help.) The girls even threw towels at her while she was crying and having her period. When the gym teacher; Miss Collins sees this...

"Carrie" marked Brian De Palma's breakthrough...,
It is a classic offbeat horror-melodrama merging harmoniously the family Gothic extravaganza, supernatural power, and a woman's movie of a peculiar kind... It remains the cinema's best adaptation of a Stephen King novel... The film initiated De Palma's inclination for surprise diverts between...

One of the greatest horror movies
Stephen King's "Carrie" is one of the greatest horror movies made and a truly scary film that has numerous heart-pounding moments. Sissy Spacek gives one of her best performances and Piper Laurie also does a tremendous job as Carrie's mother. John Travolta fans will enjoy seeing him in an early...

CARRIE - I Think She Got Carrie(d) Away
CARRIE was an excellent and very popular horror film of 1976 which earned four or five stars in my book. This DVD is a good clear transfer and has several very good documentaries on the making of the film, casting, and special effects. It is a must buy for all Steven King fans who wish to own one...

"They are all gonna laugh at you!!!"
This is an old movie but a good horror movie for young and old fans. Stephen King is a master mind when it comes to character development and his characters are captured perfectly by the young Sissy Spacek, John Travolta and the many cast of characters in this movie. You can not help but feel...
