See this film: Carrie @fter midnight at the Coolidge
Maybe Brian De Palma's best film and, next to The Shining, the best adaptation of a Stephen
King novel, Carrie (1976) remains the
scariest depiction of a difficult adolescence on film. Sissy Spacek plays the
tormented teen of the title who will not suffer long the bullies in school or her
Bible-thumping mother (Piper Laurie). Though oft-imitated since, the ending
remains a shocker. A must-see before the release of the upcoming remake
directed by Kimberly Peirce and starring Chloë Grace Moretz.
