Adapting the chilling 1974 novel from master of the genre Stephen King, Brian De Palma’s CARRIE (1976) stars Sissy Spacek as a young girl facing a terrifying adolescent surge, resulting in one of the most chaotic, harrowing climactic screen scenes of all time – which, in addition to the slow burn of her high school trials and tribulations, earned the film a place among the American Film Institute’s most celebrated thrillers.
