Carrie Series #1
Welcome to the movie appreciation thread for Carrie and The Rage: Carrie 2! Carrie Cast: Sissy Spacek ... Carrie White Piper Laurie ... Margaret White Amy Irving ... Sue Snell William Katt ... Tommy Ross Betty Buckley ... Miss Collins Nancy Allen ... Chris Hargensen John Travolta ... Billy Nolan P.J. Soles ... Norma Watson Priscilla Pointer ... Mrs. Snell Sydney Lassick ... Mr. Fromm Stefan Gierasch ... Mr. Morton Michael Talbott ... Freddy Doug Cox ... The Beak Harry Gold ... George Noelle North ... Freida Plot Summary: Carrie White is a shy young girl who doesn't make friends easily. After her class mates taunt her about her horrified reaction to her totally unexpected first period one of them takes pity on her and gets Tommy Ross, her boyfriend and class hunk to invite Carrie to the senior prom. Meanwhile another girl who has been banned from the prom for her continued aggressive behaviour is not as forgiving and plans a trick to embarrass Carrie in front of the whole school. What she doesn't realise is that Carrie is ... gifted, and you really don't want to get her angry. Written by Mark Thompson {mrt@oasis.icl.co.uk} A 1976 horror with Sissy Spacek as Carrie White, who goes to school and has no friends at all. All the girls pick on her. One day, when Carrie got her period, all the girls in ther locker room threw towels at her (including Chris Hargenson and Sue Senell). When Miss Collins see that the girls pick on Carrie, they get punished. Then Tommy Ross asks Carrie to the prom and Carrie's abusive mom (Piper Laurie) always sends Carrie to her closet to pray. Then Chris and her boyfriend Billy Nolan (John Travolta) set a plan to throw pig blood at Carrie at the prom. When Carrie gets poured with pig blood, everyone laughs at her (even Miss Collins). She has power to move things. She burns up everyone at the prom and the prom will be a night no one will ever forget. Written by Tommy Iadevaia {tom_iadevaia@hotmail.com} Based on a Stephen King novel, Carrie is the story of Carrie White. She is a girl brought up, almost in isolation, by her psychotically religious mother Margaret. After an embarrassing incident in the showers causes her fellow pupils to tease Carrie ruthlessly, her teacher Miss Desjardin disciplines them severely. Determined to have revenge, the other students hatch a plot against Carrie, which turns horribly wrong when Carrie's strange mental powers are unleashed during the school prom. Written by Goth {brooks@odie.ee.wits.ac.za} Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) is the outsider of her class. She's a mousy girl, all of her classmates hate her, and her mother (Piper Laurie) is a religous fanatic who walks around in a black cape. After she unexpectedly has her first period, she is teased by the girls more ruthlessly than before. The gym teacher (Betty Buckley) punishes the girls that were involved and one of them, Sue Snell (Amy Irving), feels sorry for what she did and asks her boyfriend (William Katt) to take Carrie to the prom instead of her. But another girl that has been banned from the prom, Chris Hargenson (Nancy Allen), isn't so forgiving and hatches an evil plan with her boyfriend (John Travolta) 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 telekenisis, 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. Written by Will The Rage: Carrie 2 Cast: Emily Bergl ... Rachael Lang Jason London ... Jesse Ryan Amy Irving ... Sue Snell J. Smith-Cameron ... Barbara Lang Dylan Bruno ... Mark Bing Zachery Ty Bryan ... Eric Stark Charlotte Ayanna ... Tracy Campbell Rachel Blanchard ... Monica Jones Justin Urich ... Brad Winters Eli Craig ... Chuck Potter (as Elijah Craig) Eddie Kaye Thomas ... Arnold 'Arnie' Mena Suvari ... Lisa Parker John Doe ... Boyd Plot Summary: In 1976, Sue Snell (Amy Irving) watched her life crumble as her boyfriend and most of her friends were killed by telekinetic Carrie White after she was humiliated by sadistic classmate Chris Hargenson at the school prom after being pronounced "Prom Queen." Now, 23 years later, Sue is a counselor at the new high school where she seems to develop most of her time on Rachel Lang (Emily Bergl), a troubled young girl whose best friend (Mena Suvari) has just committed suicide. Rachel is a normal girl, except for the fact that she can move things with her mind from time to time. Some of the football jocks are planning to humiliate Rachel at the "biggest party of the year," using the unknowing Jesse (Jason London) as bait, because she told on them being involved in her friend's death. If only everyone knew that Rachel is Carrie's half-sister... Written by Will Gordon Clapp ... Mr. Stark Clint Jordan ... Sheriff Kelton Last edited by M.I.S.S.Y; 03-05-2007 at 01:20 PM |

They did do a remake with Angela Beattis (Girl, Interrupted) as Carrie.
You can look it up on IMDB.com! |

This movie was pretty good, what I saw of it. I saw the TV edit so I'm not sure what they took out.
But it wasn't quite as scary as I thought it was going to be. __________________

Carrie is more of a supernatural film then a straight up horror film. I think just living her life is pretty scary in itself.
As for the sequel... No where near as good as the first but I thought that it was pretty decent. __________________

Yes, it would be scary to be her.
Her mother freaked me out! __________________

Carrie is one of my favorite Stephen King book/movie. I always felt so bad for Carrie.

I"ve read all of King's books except 11/22/63, Doctor Sleep, Mr. Mercedes and Revial....and Carrie is one of my least favorite books of his. I just felt not as gripped and immersed in the world as I did some of the others. With that said, the movie De Palma did was fantastic. Too bad all that was ruined with the TV movie Carrie and then the sequel. I haven't seen the remake yet...but have very low hopes for it
