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.
