After her class mates taunt her about her horrified reaction to her totally unexpected first period one of them takes pity on her and gets Tommy Ross, her boyfriend and class hunk to invite Carrie to the senior prom. Meanwhile another girl who has been banned from the prom for her continued aggressive behaviour is not as forgiving and plans a trick to embarrass Carrie in front of the whole school. What she doesn't realise is that Carrie is-- gifted, and you really don't want to get her angry"--Internet Movie Database.

very good submitted by manz on July 7, 2019, 4:33pm A great movie! So creepy and well done. Another great Stephen King adaptation.

classic horror movie submitted by crp on August 30, 2019, 2:01pm This movie haunted me as a child, especially the last scene with the hand. For weeks, it stayed with me. Not suitable for kids, but definitely enjoyable as an adult.

A Classic, but due for a remake that is much more FAITHFUL TO STEVEN KING's BOOK! submitted by Tassos on September 8, 2019, 11:39am After 45 years, still watchable. However, the 1974 flick, as shown in the DVD extras, was unfaithful to the book in many major ways.

Maybe it is time to redo the movie and this time be faithful to the book!
