    Hey this is CARRIE! Possibly one of THE best horror movies ever. Come on!

    My drama teacher (20 years ago, yeah, I'm pretty old) made us watch this movie 4 times to explain how a good movie works. Eternally grateful to this guy, because now I use his lessons everyday as a writer/screenwriter. Three thumbs up for Brian dePalma. (And the other guy ofcourse, whatshisname Stephen... something.)

    Well....I did like the book better of course, but I almost always do, LOL! This was a great movie and stuck to the book pretty much like glue. That's important to me. I think it ruins a movie for me if they don't try to stay true to the book. One book that they made a movie into was Eragon, which is a children's book. My son loved the book but when he saw the movie, he was so mad! He got all offended when they made the dragon Saphira grow all at once. He's in his seat, yelling at the screen, "Saphira didn't grow like that!!!" He was outraged. The movie was definitely not as good as the book because they changed so much of it. I hope when they do the second movie they try to stay a bit more true to the book.

    But yes, now that I'm done yapping, loved Carrie!

    Agree with all the comments, I thought Carrie was a fantastic film, I love Brian's work and I thought he did Carrie perfectly.

    Oh I loved Carrie the movie, but after I read the book. The movie was just never the same.
    (if this confuses you I watched he movie before reading the book.)

    Tribute was pretty good, who made that!? I would have been the soul survivor of the Carrie attack. I never would have picked on her and I would have kicked butt on those who did. Where I grew up there was only one black person in school and everyone picked on him. I hated it and got in quite a few fights because of it, LOL! I won't tell you the choice name they called me because of it. I always felt so sorry for poor Carrie!! I think Susannah Dean would have liked me too!

    Thanks, That was me...I had to make a cool tribute vid for the poor doomed Carrie White...

    Carrie was my first SK book and the rest is history. Now, my son reads his stuff.

    Good movie, and thanks to Tabitha, for fishing the manuscript out of the garbage where Steve tossed it after many rejections from publisher's .Carrie paved the way,
    Stephen King was discovered and is a huge success ever since.
