In the ultra-stylish first screen adaptation of Stephen King’s pop novel, Spacek gives an Oscar-nominated performance as the much-abused adolescent who uses her telekinetic powers to exact revenge on her tormentors. De Palma elevates teen-horror movies to operatic levels with an arsenal of visual tricks including split-screen and slow-motion photography. A beautiful 35mm print from the Wisconsin Center for Film & Theater Research, will screen in honor of Carrie’s 50th anniversary.
