The shower scene perfectly depicts how cruel girls can be to eachother. The movie was great, and captured the bizarre awkwardness of Carrie. ”

“Stephen King's first novel about a girl with telekinetic powers. A good book, but he has written better. He's still just as good a storyteller. ”

“Carrie White is a mousy, shy girl repressed girl who is mercilessly teased by her fello classmates. Her mother is a religious fanatic who walks around in a black cape and imposes her rigid restrictions on Carrie. After Carrie unexpectedly has her first period in the school showers, she is teased by the girls more ruthlessly than before. The gym teacher punishes the girls that were involved and one of them, Sue Snell, feels sorry for what she did and asks her boyfriend to take Carrie to the prom instead of her. But another girl that has been banned from the prom, Chris Hargenson, isn't so forgiving and hatches an evil plan with her boyfriend that involves Carrie and a bucket full of pig's blood. But what none of the students realize is that Carrie has the power of telekinesis, the power to move things with your mind, and that when you make her mad, she transforms from an innocent girl to a rage-filled monster. And this is gonna be a prom no one will ever forget.
