High school senior Carrie White (Sissy
Spacek), is a shy, unworldly, and friendless teenage girl who has been
sheltered from real life by her domineering, fanatically religious mother
(Piper Laurie), while struggling in secret with the special telekinetic powers
she possesses, a secret which she cannot divulge to her mother as she would
consider it to be a gift from the devil.
The only adult authority figure who tries to
help Carrie with her life is her Physical Education teacher, Miss Collins
(Betty Buckley) but she is warned by the Principle not to get too involved.
After an incident of bullying by her
classmates the culprits are banned from attending the Senior Prom and blame
Carrie so they plan to exact their revenge on her by humiliating her in front
of everyone at the Prom.
So will they succeed or will she unleash her
telekinetic powers on them in a horrifying display of rage.
Amy Irving, William Katt, John Travolta, Nancy
Allen and P.J. Soles play Carries classmates, good and bad, in what is possibly
the best movie adaptation of a Stephen King novel.
