In 1976 a horror film from a director unknown to the general public hit the world like a red storm

The film was called Carrie and its director – Brian De Palma who would later direct The Untouchables and Mission Impossible - had adapted it from the debut novel by a young emerging horror novelist – Stephen King

A bad boy in Carrie was played by a young actor at his film debut – that young actor’s name was John Travolta

Carrie is the story of Carrie White - a shy girl that fails to find her place in high school and gets ripped on by everybody. Carrie White is sensitive and sweet, and also… she can move things with her mind

Kept psychologically captive by a deranged religious freak mother – Margaret White - our heroine Carrie is invited to the prom by the most handsome boy at her school

Carrie fights to break out of her mother’s cage and become a full person – but horrible classmates are always trying to make her pay for being different, and Carrie‘s hidden telekinetic powers might horribly spin out of her control

Margaret White recounts her sex experience

Margaret White I should’ve killed myself when he put it in me. After the first time, before we were married, Ralph promised never again. He promised, and I believed him. But sin never dies. Sin never dies. At first, it was all right. We lived sinlessly. We slept in the same bed, but we never did it. And then, that night, I saw him looking down at me that way. We got down on our knees to pray for strength. I smelled the whiskey on his breath. Then he took me. He took me, with the stink of filthy roadhouse whiskey on his breath, and I liked it. I liked it! With all that dirty touching of his hands all over me. I should’ve given you to God when you were born, but I was weak and backsliding, and now the devil has come home. We’ll pray
Carrie Yes
Margaret White We’ll pray. We’ll pray. We’ll pray for the last time. We’ll pray
