This is one of the better known horror movies and at the same time it is not exactly a horror movie.It was directed by John Carpenter who has quite a few good flicks to his credit.This flick is based on the best-seller by Stephen King.I wonder if any of you will remember John Travolta for a miniscule role that he did in this movie.It starred Sissy Spacek as Carrie who is afflicted by telekinesis.It is a disorder of the mind where the individual concerned has the power to move objects at his or her will.This power is brought into sharp focus when Carrie is victimised by her friends at the local prom.She is the oddball in the entire school and is always ridiculed by everybody.She has a religious heretic for a mother who always harangues her no end.the movie begins witha jaw dropping scene and ends with a equally stupendous climax.Needless to say, the special effects team had a big hand in the climax scene.even today when you watch this flick you get the goose pimples.See it if you relish your movies with a touch of horror.And mind you there are a few X-Rated scenes too.
