Carrie

Yes, Sissy Spacek was really good in this movie...she´s really pretty but acted as if she were in Carrie´s situation.
I´ve heard, Carrie was Stephen King´s first book - if that´s true, then it was a good opening

Carrie(1976) was a great film. I've seen it four times because the first time I didn't really get the point of it. The third or fourth time I finally got the point of it. This movie is just one of those movies that you may need to see more then once to understand the true horror of it. My brother didn't understand how it was scary and refuses to watch it now because he says it's not scary. However, it was scary at some parts and I liked the movie. Sissy Spacek did a phenominal job of playing Carrie and William Katt did a great job of playing Tommy Ross. No, everyone played their part well.

To noone in particular:

I have to tell someone this story. I think the only people that could truly appreciate are my fellow Stephen King/Carrie fans.
As you can see my name is Carrie. I wasn't named after the book, but of course, I have heard joke after joke because they are spelled the same. When I first read the book (I think I was about 12 or 13), I was shocked at how dark it was. However, one thing shocked me more than that. The description of the girl was so much like me that it scared me. I mean, I don't think I had pimples on my behind, or a psycho mother, but the awkwardness she felt was one I recognized. The fact that I looked alot like Mr. King described her made it creepier. Imagine reading a book about a character like Carrie and finding similarities between yourself and her. Talk about creepy, right?

As far as the novel itself goes, it rates high with me. The fact that Mr. King could combine the amount of horror he did with the adequately described teen akwardness without it coming off as corney or hokey is amazing.
Then again, I probably have some issues if "Carrie" was my comfort book for puberty...LOL

Hi there! I totally agree with you about the fact that Sai King did a great job portraying the ackwardness and loneliness that most kids feel at that age. Carrie's character is based on two girls that King knew back in the day. I think most kids that age can identify with her. I know I sure did! Welcome to the Board and keep posting!

sorry but that isnt possible because Carrie dies in the movie. If there was a part 3 it would be cool but unless she passes it on to another person on whatever it's not possible.

Yes, you are not alone. I don't look like Carrie appearancewise. I'm just treated like her at school. I have no friends and really keep to myself a lot. Are you treated badly at school too? Or is it just you look alike? Whatever the case, there are times I wish I could use telekinesis like Carrie.
