Carrie

CriticsCritics: 90
AudienceAudience: 7.5

A withdrawn teenager endures relentless bullying at school and harsh abuse from her fanatically religious mother. As she discovers she can move objects with her mind, growing confidence and mounting pressure lead her toward a deeply unsettling confrontation with those who have tormented her.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy emotionally intense horror, sympathetic outcasts, and slow-building dread with an iconic prom sequence; Not for you if you dislike dated visuals, severe bullying, or bleak supernatural violence.
