Campaigning for the remakes again. In this version the bullies are the most King vicious and the coach’s response is the most visceral. There are significant portions and structure I like better in the 2002 version. The 2010s version I find the portrayal of Margaret White far more compelling. And the villain is actually supposed to be bright.

Magnificent Gojira

George is right as far as I remember. de Palma didn't want girl's locker room to be 'realistic'. in any waym rather a boys' fantasy what'd they see when peep in there

Anthony James Marshall

Brian De Palma loves his splits diopter shots. I recommend his over John Travolta collab BLOW OUT (1981) It is full of them and has a great plot plus one of the scariest performances from another actor best known to you guys for playing sweet dads or silly characters

Anthony James Marshall

Weird fact about the cast of this film. George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Brian De Palma were friends and the auditions for this movie were also the auditions for Princess Leia. They all read for the many female parts in this and later Spielberg would date Amy Irving and De Palma would date Nancy Allen. All meeting because of this film

I was waiting for the "They're All Going to Trivia At You" segment, but it never came. Thanks for bringing the Carrie facts to the comments!

8bitAndy

This movie makes me want to recommend The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Two very different movies, but in some ways the main characters are similar.

Anthony James Marshall

The ending of the book is that Carrie just stops her mother's heart and then summons rocks to crumble the house from the outside. I think King preferred her being shot up the same way as St Sebastian (not Jesus) because it was a bit more visually interesting and ties back into the mother's religious beliefs. Fun fact St Sebastian was shot up with arrows so in most images of him he is shirtless and tied up which has led to him being a homosexual icon. Many famous gay people and gay movies have scenes where a young religious man is first awoken to their feelings by stumbling across his image

Joe Williams

The slow-motion montage of Carrie walking to the stage is heart-wrenching. She looks so happy.

Gerald Walker

Its really hard to explain how horrible high schoolers could be in the 70's and 80's and it was regarded as completely normal. I hate the say it but these kids behavior isn't that exaggerated ( at least in mid sized towns in Maine ).

Gaius Frakking Baltar

One of the all-time classic jump scares! Btw, in King's book, Carrie laid waste to most of the town as she trekked from the high school back to her mother's house, leaving carnage and destruction in her wake. The novel's epilogue includes a fictional Associated Press news ticker story, which indicates a dawning public awareness of telekinesis in the aftermath of the disaster: CHAMBERLAIN, MAINE (AP) STATE OFFICIALS SAY THAT THE DEATH TOLL IN CHAMBERLAIN STANDS AT 409, WITH 49 STILL LISTED AS MISSING. INVESTIGATION CONCERNING CARIETTA WHITE AND THE SOCALLED “TK” PHENOMENA CONTINUES AMID PERSISTENT RUMORS THAT AN AUTOPSY ON THE WHITE GIRL HAS UNCOVERED CERTAIN UNUSUAL FORMATIONS IN THE CEREBRUM AND CEREBELLUM OF THE BRAIN. THIS STATE'S GOVERNOR HAS APPOINTED A BLUE-RIBBON COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE ENTIRE TRAGEDY.

Itbewhatitbe

aaah yes, classic old man yells at cloud. dude, the director himself had said the opening scene is meant to be pervy feeling, how teenage boys fantasizes girls locker rooms being like. its meant to be that way. oh look, he deleted his comment. heres what Diiirk706 said btw. "I mean............. YOU guys made the locker room scene weird. It's just young womanhood personified/springtime/growing up Shit, that transitions into bullying🤷‍♂️ I Fucking HATE 2024, and how the internet has perma rotted peoples' brains............"

Morningstar

Hopefully, if you guys can get around to watching Dreamcatcher, another Stephen King joint😊

scott watterman

Important thing to note is that when the students and teachers are laughing at Carrie at prom, is that it’s all in her head. She’s imagining it. That’s why they’re shown in the weird lens effect. Her gym teacher wasn’t actually laughing.

Nikolina Liubenova

"pretty much everyone dies" is a good summary of almost every stephen king's novel

2026-09-09 01:00 George, be careful with these kind of sociology experiment, there recently has been a replication crisis in sociology where it turns out that a lot of studies and experiments done in the field had bad parameters and could not be replicated. I am not sure about the specific experiment you mentioned (the comformity one), but a lot of famous sociology experiments such as the Stamford prison experiment or the Robbers cave experiment turn out to have serious flaws in their design that seriously calls into question the conclusions drawn from them. Basically a lot of these experiments are them seeking particular results and encouraging the bad behaviour and do not have a good scientific foundation to draw conclusions from.

Lola Lirola

Yes. Most of them were also moved by a desire to understand how the Holocaust could have happened. It was the 70's, and basically the people who had grown up with their parents' actions during the war were now in charge of research, so a lot of it was trying to find out how evil actions take root to that degree, and if it could be prevented next time (e.g. the Milgram experiment where people were asked to electrocute someone else, or the Stanford prison one). So a lot of wonky parameters and dubious principles were overlooked, because it was thought it would be worth it. I think we're now getting lessons in real time as to how it happens again, though...

sarCC

Pretty much the same in most suburban areas in the 80s/90s. It actually warms my heart when people say the kids in this and IT are over-the-top mean in their bullying/behavior, because that means they were never exposed to that in their childhood, which is great.

Jay

I've always loved this movie, mainly for the whole prom scene, it's so good. More King horror? The 80s Pet Sematary isn't perfect, really creepy in parts, laughable in others but like Carrie, I've always loved it. Nancy Allen (Chris) was Murphy's partner in Robocop, and PJ Soles (Norma with the cap) was Linda in Halloween.

Rob Church

I agree Sissy Spacek is beautiful, but she has a very unique appearance which I think plays perfectly into both sides of the character, both as a timid but hopeful outcast and as the vengeful murderer. I don't consider this like the 90's or 2000's where they would just give a girl glasses and put her hair into a ponytail to make her "ugly"

Rachel W

DePalma loves those cheesy super long slow mo scenes. You guys need to see the fantastic Sissy Spacek in her Oscar winning role in the great bio film, "Coal Miner's Daughter".

Lana Gorgeous

Sissy Spacek became a superstar of an actor. She won the Oscar in the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter" one of her greatest films with Tommy Lee Jones. I highly recommend it. One of her first films was with Martin Sheen in "Badlands" another incredible movie. She is just an incredible actor, one of the best ever!

Lana Gorgeous

This was John Travolta's 2nd movie and you must also watch him in Saturday Night Fever, the movie that made him a superstar!

Wrencher86

Just for funsies I am once again going to go down the list of horror-ish recommendations that I, a person who does not like horror movies, really enjoys: Ravenous Session 9 The Lost Boys Bram Stokers Dracula Pitch Black Event Horizon

Dan Holmes

pls watch sissy spacek in Blast From The Past :)

Marie Montgomery

I need them to watch Steel Magnolias and Legend with Tim Curry

Simon Pegged Me

Great thumbnail again. Mrs. White was right: George, I can see your dirty pillows, and I am laughing at you.

Honey Hermsen

Is this from the period piece poll?

Athenor

Actually if you watch this you probably should record it since it covers 2 movies you recently reacted to ;P

Obsolyeet

A fairly common fan theory is that Carrie has the "shine" just like characters from The Shining, Dr Sleep, and many other King novels as well. It just manifests itself differently from person to person.

WalrusWallace

Carrie is one of my favorites! My first introduction to it was the remake but the original definitely great

Zephyr (AD)

Event Horizon is so good! I'm not a horror movie person in general, but Event Horizon is worth it despite being mega-creepy

TheFood44

If you want more De Palma I throughly recommend Carlito’s Way - an absolute masterclass in tension building - plus Pacino at peak Pacino and a great Penn performance

moo

Blow Out is one of De Palma's best, and also stars Nacy Allen. The two evil characters of Carrie, Travolta and Allen, become the two sympathetic leads of Blow Out. Also it doesn't seem like Simone or George recognized Nancy Allen as officer Lewis from Robocop.

moo

Also, in the book,Carrie obliterates the whole town.

moo

For an even more unic De Palma, Movie i highly recommand "Phantom of the Paradise".

BoredLittleLady

Horror movies have never been my favorites but this was a very interesting movie. If I may provide three recommendations for very different suspenseful movies: Last Night in Soho (2021), Barbarian (2022), The Menu (2022).

TYLER NORWOOD

Definitely like the social commentary on societal conformity / alienation, cycles of abuse, and coming of age in a rough world. Way ahead of its time.

The Cat Man

If you want more Sissy Spacek (and Shelley Duvall) and don't mind films that are very abstract, "artsy" and wierd I'd suggest 3 Women! Sissy and Shelley are both fantastic in it As already mentioned for more Sissy, missing. from 1982 is also great - got Vangelis (from Chariots of Fire) as the composer too! As for the books' ending... as others have mentioned yes Carrie destroys the whole town (which I feel is worse, takes the chaos from being more personal to Carrie to a much grander scale) but I do want to highlight one scene which I find absolutely chilling and profoundly tragic, and the only part where I prefer the book to the film: "Carrie moaned thickly, and her eyes fluttered. The perception of her in Sue's mind sharpened, as if a mental picture was coming into focus. (who's there) And Sue, without thought, spoke in the same fashion: (me sue snell) Only there was no need to think of her name. The thought of herself as herself was neither words nor pictures. The realization suddenly brought everything up close, made it real, and compassion for Carrie broke through the dullness of her shock. And Carrie, with faraway, dumb reproach: (you tricked me you all tricked me) (carrie i don't even know what happened is tommy) (you tricked me that happened trick trick trick o dirty trick) The mixture of image and emotion was staggering, indescribable. Blood. Sadness. Fear. The latest dirty trick in a long series of dirty tricks: they flashed by in a dizzying shuffle that made Sue's mind reel helplessly, hopelessly. They shared the awful totality of perfect knowledge. (carrie don't don't don't hurts me) Now girls throwing sanitary napkins, chanting, laughing, Sue's face mirrored in her own mind: ugly, caricatured, all mouth, cruelly beautiful. (see the dirty tricks see my whole life one long dirty trick) (look carrie look inside me) And Carrie looked. The sensation was terrifying. Her mind and nervous system had become a library. Someone in desperate need ran through her, fingers trailing lightly over shelves of books, lifting some out, scanning them, putting them back, letting some fall, leaving the pages to flutter wildly (glimpses that's me as a kid hate him daddy o mommy wide lips o teeth bobby pushed me o my knee car want to ride in the car we're going to see aunt cecily mommy come quick i made pee) in the wind of memory; and still on and on, finally reaching a shelf marked TOMMY, subheaded PROM. Books thrown open, flashes of experience, marginal notations in all the hieroglyphs of emotion, more complex than the Rosetta Stone. Looking. Finding more than Sue herself had suspected—love for Tommy, jealousy, selfishness, a need to subjugate him to her will on the matter of taking Carrie, disgust for Carrie herself, (she could take better care of herself she does look just like a GODDAM TOAD) hate for Miss Desjardin, hate for herself. But no ill will for Carrie personally, no plan to get her in front of everyone and undo her. The feverish feeling of being raped in her most secret corridors began to fade. She felt Carrie pulling back, weak and exhausted. (why didn't you just leave me alone) (carrie i) (momma would be alive i killed my momma i want her o it hurts my chest hurts my shoulder o o o i want my momma) (carrie i) And there was no way to finish that thought, nothing there to complete it with. Sue was suddenly overwhelmed with terror, the worse because she could put no name to it: The bleeding freak on this oil-stained asphalt suddenly seemed meaningless and awful in its pain and dying. (o0 momma i'm scared momma MOMMA) Sue tried to pull away, to disengage her mind, to allow Carrie at least the privacy of her dying, and was unable to. She felt that she was dying herself and did not want to see this preview of her own eventual end. (carrie let me GO) (Momma Momma Momma 00000000000000 OOOOOOOO0O0O0) The mental scream reached a flaring, unbelievable crescendo and then suddenly faded. For a moment Sue felt as if she were watching a candle flame disappear down a long, black tunnel at a tremendous speed. (she's dying o my god i'm feeling her die) And then the light was gone, and the last conscious thought had been (momma i'm sorry where) and it broke up and Sue was tuned in only on the blank, idiot frequency of the physical nerve endings that would take hours to die." This poor fucking girl man : ( Audiobook's read by Sissy too and the way she narrates just makes it hurt all the more

A wonderfully raw bit of Joycian stream of consciousness.

Just saw Depalma talk about seeing a reaction vid of Carrie and was taken aback by how prudish the reactors were to the nudity. I wonder who he was talking about? :P
