❝DOESN'T ANYBODY THINK THAT I HEAR? I HEAR!❞
PLOT Carrie White is a socially awkward teenager who faces abuse everywhere she goes. From the taunting and name-calling in the hallways at school to the beatings and hatred inflicted upon her by her overly-religious mother, it's no wonder that she becomes withdrawn from the whole of society. Strange, supernatural things begin to happen around Carrie, to which she learns about telekinetic powers she never thought she had. But when an incident in the school showers set off a chain reaction involving a cruel prank, people in Chamerblin High will soon learn Carrie White's name.
❝GOD MADE EVE TO BARE THE CURSE, THE CURSE OF BLOOD!❞
OVER OR UNDERRATED? Definitely underrated. Most don't even know it even exists or how big a flop it was in the 80s.
