Carrie

Pros: Taut, tightly paced, fine adaptation, and good casting/acting
Cons: None

In the late fall of 1976, just as that year’s Presidential campaign was leading up to its not-too-surprising conclusion – Jimmy Carter edged out the incumbent Gerald Ford by a small but nevertheless decisive number of votes a few days later – United ...

Pros: Spacek, Laurie and Irving, real-life teenage issues
Cons: shower scene

Since the second part of Carrie, came out a few a few years ago, I have been wanting to watch the original. So I rectified that situation and rented them both from Netflix...and sat back to watch them last Friday evening after work. Carrie...

Pros: Entertaining movie with good cast.
Cons: Some disturbing moments.  Few things look slightly dated.  

There are some horror movies that aren't as gory overall even though they still tell disturbing stories and include scary moments.  Carrie is one of those movies.Teenager Carrie White is a bit of an outcast at Bates High ...

Pros: You'd be surprised what you can learn from a 'horror' movie
Cons: bloody and over the top, but needed

Pros: Stands up to any horror movie made in the last 20 years--and wins.
Cons: What are you talking about? There are no cons to this movie.

Does the world need another review of CARRIE? Well, need or not, I’m writing one, so read it or don’t, that’s your choice. But here goes.

Who in the world HASN’T seen this movie? And who in the world DOESN’T know...

Pros: Great story. Wild movie. Massive cast.
Cons: Just look over the fashions and hair.

Carrie scared the crap out of me back in 1976, and it still sends chill bumps up my spine today. When I saw it as a middle school kid, I just thanked my lucky stars that I was never mean to any of the other kids in school who might have some ...

Pros: An All Around Great Film
Cons: A Bit Light On the Horror Elements

Carrie is a film that I had long heard of, and it's one of the most commonly loved horror films. I had always wondered what the hype was about, but all I knew about the film was that it involved a girl with telekinetic powers going to her prom. This was ...

Pros: Sissy Spacek. Piper Laurie. Some brilliant directorial touches.
Cons: Dated costumes and hairstyles.

That darling little Australian, Olivia Newton-John, reported to the set of Aida on Ice today to begin work on her role as Amneris. I think this could be the big break her career has been waiting for. Between run throughs of her first act...

Pros: Slick 70s milk, creepy, close to the book, De Palma
Cons: *shrugs*

It's been a looooong time since I read the 1974 debut novel from Stephen King called Carrie and it's been even longer since I saw the film of it starring Sissy Spacek and oh-my-gosh-it's John Travolta (in a small role *shrugs*). This garners a ...

Pros:

The fine performances, stylish direction, dark humor and believably rotten high school depiction.

Cons:

De Palma's stylistic choices aren't always sensible.

This review is part of captaind's The Good Movies EpiGuide 2 write-off: http: www.epinions.com content 5245804676< a>.Leave it to Stephen King< b>, in his first published novel, to make a coming-of-age story ...

Pros: Piper Laurie, Spacek and Brian DePalma's gifts
Cons: A little skimpy when compared to the book.

This was a daring film for its day, in 1976, and scary in a bizarre sort of way. Having read the book first, and as always, mesmerized by the words of the master, I found the movie a poor substitute. Now, having seen the movie again in DVD, I find merit...

Pros: Impressive new DVD edition; great story; still scary after all these years
Cons: Some may find the prom scene disturbing (though that's the point)

Brian DePalma's Carrie is so well known to even the most casual purveyors of pop-culture that a plot summary seems almost redundant, but here's a refresher. After suffering through sixteen years of fundamentalist religious dogma at the hands of...

Pros: An aesthetic feast with a smorgasboard of styles and a wonderful turn by Spacek.
Cons: Some poor acting. Languid pacing in crucial scenes and superfluous set-pieces undermine "Carrie"

I am a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino. Yes, in some circles, he is the 90's biggest cinematic kleptomaniac, but his ability to intrinsically weave and delineate multiple genres, styles and cinematic references into comprehensive and engaging tales is ...

Pros: Excellently adapted from Stephen Kings book, has not dated since it was originally made.
Cons: n/a

This is the film adaptation of the Stephen King novel of the same name. Carrie White (excellently portrayed by Sissy Spacek) is a shy and unassuming schoolgirl who is the brunt of her classmate’s jokes. This is mainly the fault of her overbearingly...

Pros: A Steven King movie
Cons: none

I absolutely love a scary movie. I believe *CARRIE* was one of the first horror movies I saw. This movie is by Steven King and is a must see by all HORROR MOVIE LOVERS.

Sissy Spacek is Carrie. She is an outcast in her school. Also she has...
