Character mistake: During the opening scene, the girls are playing volleyball. The score was announced, and game point was announced. When the ball is served it comes to Sue, she hits the ball twice, in succession, which is against the rules, she is on the same team as Carrie. This should have ended the game, but the point continues, the team they are both on gets the ball over the net, then it comes back, right at Carrie, she does not hit the ball, then the game is over, and a few of her teammates can be heard saying various insults about her inability to play the game and so forth. If they would have been playing by the rules, the ball should have never even came to Carrie.

10/10. A masterpiece of horror movies. Carrie is scary, sad, and relatable all at the same time. Sissy Spacek's masterful performance as Carrie White is one to be remembered. She plays the character with such skill that I felt sorry for her within minutes after the opening credits. Nobody else could play the role as excellently as she did. A few have but not with that same pizzazz as Spacek. People remember the prom scene mostly. I remember the build to this like a bomb ready to go off. If anything. Carrie represents how man can only take so much cruelty from both people and the world itself before snapping. This movie's a must see for horror fans during the silver age of horror going from the 1970's to the early 90's. I really liked Sissy Spacek's performance in it, she's talented and gorgeous.
Beautiful movie that I watch for Halloween.

Margaret White: Carrie, you haven't touched your apple cake.
Carrie: It gives me pimples, Mama.
Margaret White: Pimples are the Lord's way of chastising you.
Trivia: Director Brian de Palma originally wanted Sissy Spacek to play Chris Hargenson (eventually portrayed by Nancy Allen). But Spacek wanted to be the star, so she showed up for her audition in a dress her mother made for her in 7th grade. She looked so awkward and hopelessly out of touch with fashion that De Palma cast her as Carrie.
