- Synopsis
- Carrie White, the teenage daughter of a religious fanatic, has her first menstrual period in the school locker-room shower and is so sexually ignorant that she thinks she is bleeding to death. The rest of the girls cruelly taunt her and pelt her with tampons before they are caught by a teacher and punished. Afterwards two of the girls plan to make it up to Carrie each in their own way:– Sue Snell talks her boyfriend Tommy Ross into inviting Carrie to the prom; the other, Chris Hargensen, rigs it so that Carrie is elected prom queen and then sets a bucket of pig’s blood above the stage to drench her at the moment of her crowning. But they have reckoned without Carrie’s telekinetic powers, which she now uses to exact a sudden and horrible revenge.

"There is little suspense or dramatic tension; everything plays out like bad melodrama or cheap exploitation"
