This was a pretty good movie. We have half of it on VHS. We found one tape a Goodwill and we couldn't find the other. We had to end up renting the DVD.

I never written anything before about Stephen's Books I have seen Carrie but not read it, but this book I have bought because of the film not read it yet, but as soon as I know the film is going to be on TV I make sure I am able to see it. It is such a wonderful story of good and evil and I always cry at the end. Truly Wonderful Cast picked. especially Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan and David Morse. Well Done Mr. King until I saw this film I never ever thought you could write such a great tearjerking story.

Amazing novel and awesome film! Just about everything is right in this one, the cast, the acting, the special effects, and of course, the story! The film is pretty much faithful to the novel. Get the 2 DVDs special edition if you can, it's full of documentaries and extra content!
