Summary
Trapped in loneliness in the ruthless world of the hallways, Carrie struggles to breathe at home in the shadow of her overbearing mother. The bullying in the high school hallways and the events at the prom unleash the young girl’s pent-up rage. In this horror and suspense classic directed by Brian De Palma, the sense of isolation that grows amid telekinetic powers and the destructive cruelty of adolescence draw the audience into an eerie atmosphere.
