Plot
[
edit
]
Sixteen-year-old
Carrie White
is a shy teenage girl who lives with her
fanatically religious
and unstable mother,
Margaret
, and is a loner and bullied by her peers. When Carrie experiences her
first period
while in school, she panics, having never been told about menstruation. Her classmates laugh at her, throwing tampons and sanitary pads at her, until the gym teacher, Miss Collins, intervenes. Margaret tells Carrie that her period was caused by sin, and locks Carrie in a "prayer closet" to pray to God for forgiveness. At school, Miss Collins reprimands Carrie's tormentors, punishing them with exercise detention, threatening to suspend them and stop them going to
prom
if they refuse. Carrie's longtime bully, Christine "Chris" Hargensen, eventually refuses and gets banned from the prom.
Plotting vengeance against Carrie, Chris and her boyfriend Billy Nolan break into a farm and kill pigs to drain their blood into a bucket, which they place above the school's stage in the gym. Meanwhile, another girl named
Sue Snell
, a remorseful classmate, asks her handsome and popular boyfriend, Tommy Ross, to invite Carrie to prom. Carrie believes the proposition is a prank, but he insists that it is genuine. Carrie discovers she has
telekinesis
. Despite Margaret's protests, she prepares for prom. Margaret sees Carrie's telekinetic powers and denounces her as a witch.
During prom, Chris and Billy hide under the stage while the other conspirators switch the ballots to ensure that Carrie wins the Prom Queen title. As Carrie stands onstage with Tommy, finally beginning to feel accepted by her peers, Sue realizes Chris and Billy's plan, and tries to intervene. Miss Collins spots Sue and, thinking that she is up to no good, throws her out of the prom. Chris and Billy douse Carrie in the pigs' blood before sneaking out of the school. The empty bucket hits Tommy on the head, and is knocked out. Norma begins to laugh with some other students, causing Carrie to hallucinate that everyone is mocking her, believing it was their plan all along. She telekinetically seals the exits and the students are attacked by a fire hose, injuring several, and killing Norma. Miss Collins is crushed by a falling basketball backboard after she and the students try to carry Tommy's body, and Carrie electrocutes her principal and teacher, one of the two bursting into flames, setting the gym on fire. She exits the burning school and seals the doors behind her, trapping staff and classmates. As Carrie walks home, Chris attempts to run her over, but Carrie causes the car to swerve; it rolls and Carrie ruptures the gas tank, the explosion killing Chris and Billy.
After Carrie bathes herself at home, Margaret reveals that Carrie was conceived when her drunk husband and Carrie's father, Ralph, raped her, an act that Margaret shamefully admits she enjoyed. She then stabs Carrie in the back with a kitchen knife. Carrie sends knives flying toward her, killing her; then, she destroys the house and perishes.
Some time later, Sue, who was the sole survivor of that night, has a nightmare in which she goes to lay flowers on the charred remains of Carrie's home. Upon the remains stands a "For Sale" sign, vandalized in black paint with the words: "Carrie White burns in Hell!" Suddenly, Carrie's bloody arm reaches from beneath the rubble and grabs Sue, who wakes up screaming as her mother tries to comfort her.

Development
[
edit
]
Carrie
was the first
Stephen King
novel to be published and the first to be adapted into a feature film.
[7]
During an interview in 2010, King said he was 26 years old at the time and was paid just $2,500 for the film rights, but added that he was fortunate to have this happen to his first book.
[8]
De Palma told
Cinefantastique
in an interview in 1977:
I read the book. It was suggested to me by a writer friend of mine. A writer friend of his, Stephen King, had written it. I guess this was almost two years ago [circa 1975]. I liked it a lot and proceeded to call my agent to find out who owned it. I found out that nobody had bought it yet. A lot of studios were considering it, so I called around to some of the people I knew and said it was a terrific book and I'm very interested in doing it. Then nothing happened for, I guess, six months.
[9]
Lawrence D. Cohen
was hired as the screenwriter, and produced the first draft, which had closely followed the novel's intentions.
[10]
United Artists accepted the second draft but allocated De Palma a budget of only $1.6 million, a small amount considering the popularity of horror films at the time. The budget eventually rose to $1.8 million.
[11]
Certain scripted scenes were omitted from the final version, mainly due to financial limitations.
[12]
[13]
Casting
[
edit
]
Many young actresses auditioned for the lead role, including
Melanie Griffith
.
Sissy Spacek
was persuaded by husband
Jack Fisk
to audition for the title role. Fisk then convinced De Palma to let her audition, and she read for all of the parts. De Palma's first choice for the role of Carrie was Betsy Slade, who received good notices for her role in the film
Our Time
(1974). Determined to land the leading role, Spacek backed out of a television commercial she was scheduled to film,
[14]
rubbed
Vaseline
into her hair, left her face unwashed, and arrived for her screen test clad in a
sailor dress
which her mother had made her in the seventh grade, with the hem cut off,
[9]
and was given the part.
Nancy Allen
was the last to audition, and her audition came just as she was on the verge of leaving Hollywood.
[10]
She and De Palma later married in 1979, but they divorced in 1984.
[15]
Filming
[
edit
]
De Palma began with director of photography
Isidore Mankofsky
, who was eventually replaced by
Mario Tosi
after conflict between Mankofsky and De Palma ensued.
[9]
Gregory M. Auer
, assisted by
Ken Pepiot
,
[16]
served as the
special effects
supervisor for
Carrie
, with Jack Fisk, Spacek's husband, as art director.
The White house was filmed in Santa Paula, California. To give the house a
Gothic
theme, the director and producers visited religious souvenir shops to find artifacts to decorate the set location.
[17]
De Palma's directing of the camera?in Carrie as well as his other films?is often interrogated in terms of its seeming indulgence in the male gaze. While scenes such as the opening, in which the camera surveys an array of naked adolescent girls, can be justified as representational of the film's themes of female development, it is most accurately perceived as a disturbingly pornographic introduction to a story that is unfortunately, in most of its contexts, constructed by the male point of view, despite its centering on the female developmental experience.
[18]
An awareness of De Palma's directorial portfolio and personal context encourages insight to the relationship between men in power and vulnerable women in America and particularly in Hollywood, enriching a viewer's experience of the cult classic film.
[19]
A wraparound segment at the beginning and end of the film was scripted and filmed, which featured the Whites' home being pummeled by stones that hailed from the sky. The opening scene was filmed as planned, though on celluloid, the tiny pebbles looked like rain water.
[10]
A mechanical malfunction botched filming the night when the model of the Whites' home was set to be destroyed by stones, so the filmmakers burned it down instead and deleted the scenes with the stones altogether. The original opening scene is presumed lost.
[10]
The final scene, in which Sue reaches toward Carrie's grave, was shot backwards to give it a dreamlike quality. This scene was inspired by the final scene in
Deliverance
(1972).
[10]
Rather than let a stunt double perform the scene underground, Spacek insisted on using her own hand in the scene, so she was positioned under the rocks and gravel. De Palma explains that crew members "had to bury her. Bury her! We had to put her in a box and stick her underneath the ground. Well, I had her husband [Fisk] bury her because I certainly didn't want to bury her".
[10]
Music
[
edit
]
The score for
Carrie
was composed by
Pino Donaggio
. In addition, Donaggio scored two pop songs ("Born to Have It All" and "I Never Dreamed Someone Like You Could Love Someone Like Me") with lyrics by Merrit Malloy for the early portion of the prom sequence. These songs were performed by Katie Irving (neither sister of Amy Irving nor daughter of Priscilla Pointer). Donaggio would work again with De Palma on
Home Movies
,
Dressed to Kill
,
Blow Out
,
Body Double
,
Raising Cain
,
Passion
, and
Domino
.
The soundtrack album was originally released on vinyl in 1976 from
United Artists Records
.
[20]
A deluxe CD edition containing a few tracks of dialogue from the film was released by
Rykodisc
in 1997, and a 2005 CD re-release of the original soundtrack (minus dialogue) was available from
Varese Sarabande
.
[21]
In 2010, Kritzerland Records released all 35 cues of Donaggio's score for the film on a two-disc CD set which was presented as the complete score. Also included in this edition were the versions of "Born to Have It All" and "I Never Dreamed
..." which were heard in the film, as well as instrumentals of both songs, and hidden at the end of the final track, a version of the "Calisthenics" cue with Betty Buckley's studio-recorded voice-over from the detention scene. The second disc was a remastered copy of the original 13-track album. The Kritzerland release was a limited edition of 1,200 copies. Kritzerland rereleased the first disc as "The Encore Edition" in February 2013; this release was limited to 1,000 copies.
[22]

Reception and legacy
[
edit

Carrie
received widespread critical acclaim and was cited as one of the best films of the year.
[25]
[26]
On the
review aggregator
website
Rotten Tomatoes
, 93% of 73 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.3/10. The website's consensus reads: "
Carrie
is a horrifying look at supernatural powers, high school cruelty, and teen angst?and it brings us one of the most memorable and disturbing prom scenes in history."
[27]
On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating based on reviews, the film has a weighted average score of 85 out of 100, based on 14 critic reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".
[28]
Roger Ebert of the
Chicago Sun-Times
stated that the film was an "absolutely spellbinding horror movie", as well as an "observant human portrait", giving three and a half stars out of four.
[29]
Pauline Kael
of
The New Yorker
wrote that
Carrie
was "the best scary-funny movie since
Jaws
?a teasing, terrifying, lyrical shocker".
Take One Magazine
critic Susan Schenker said she was "angry at the way
Carrie
manipulated me to the point where my heart was thudding, and embarrassed because the film really works".
[

Variety
declared the film had "strong production, unusual plot twists and a fine cast."
[30]
A 1998 edition of
The Movie Guide
stated that
Carrie
was a "landmark horror film", while Stephen Farber prophetically wrote in a 1978 issue of
New West Magazine
, "it's a horror classic, and years from now it will still be written and argued about, and it will still be scaring the daylights out of new generations of moviegoers".
[

Quentin Tarantino
placed
Carrie
at number eight in a list of his favorite films.
[31]
In a 2010 interview, King replied that he thought, although dated now,
Carrie
was a "good movie".
[8]
Nevertheless, the film was not without its detractors.
Andrew Sarris
of
The Village Voice
wrote: "There are so few incidents that two extended sequences are rendered in slow-motion as if to pad out the running time
..."
[

Gene Siskel of the
Chicago Tribune
gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of four and called it "a crude shocker with a little style", praising the "strong performances" but opining that the movie "falls apart" during the climax which he described as "crude and sloppy".
[32]
Box office
[
edit
]
Carrie
was a box office success earning $14.5 million in theatrical rentals in the United States and Canada by January 1978
[33]
[34]
from a gross of $33.8 million.
[2]
In its first 19 days from 60 markets, the film had grossed $3,882,827.

Accolades
[
edit
]
Carrie
is one of the few horror films to be nominated for multiple
Academy Awards
. Spacek and Laurie received nominations for
Best Actress
and
Best Supporting Actress
awards, respectively. The film also won the grand prize at the Avoriaz Fantastic Film Festival, and Spacek was given the Best Actress award by the
National Society of Film Critics

Carrie
, along with the novel, has been reproduced and adapted several times.
Sequel
[
edit
]
The Rage: Carrie 2
was released in 1999. It featured another teenager with telekinetic powers who is revealed to have shared a father with Carrie White. The film received universally negative reviews and was a box-office failure. Amy Irving reprises her role of Sue Snell from the previous film.
2002 television film
[
edit
]
In 2002, a
television film
based on King's novel and starring
Angela Bettis
in the titular role was released. The film updated the events of the story to modern-day settings and technology while simultaneously attempting to be more faithful to the book's original structure, story, and specific events. However, the ending was drastically changed: Instead of killing her mother and then herself, the film has Carrie killing her mother, being revived via
CPR
by Sue Snell and being driven to Florida to hide. This new ending marked a complete divergence from the novel and was a signal that the film served as a pilot for a
Carrie
television series, which never materialized. In the new ending, the rescued Carrie vows to help others with similar gifts to her own. Although Bettis' portrayal of Carrie was highly praised, the film was cited by most critics as inferior to the original.
[45]
2013 remake
[
edit
]
In 2011,
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
and
Screen Gems
acquired the novel rights to adapt
Carrie
to film once more.
[46]
Playwright
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
wrote the script as "a more faithful adaptation" of King's novel but shared a screenplay credit with the 1976 film's writer Lawrence D. Cohen. Aguirre-Sacasa had previously adapted King's epic novel
The Stand
into
comic-book form
in 2008.
The role of Carrie was played by 16-year-old actress
Chloe Grace Moretz
.
[47]
Julianne Moore
starred as Carrie's mother Margaret White, and
Gabriella Wilde
as Sue Snell.
[48]
Alex Russell
and
Ansel Elgort
played Billy Nolan and Tommy Ross respectively.
[49]
Portia Doubleday
was given the role of Chris Hargensen, and
Judy Greer
was cast as Miss Desjardin.
[50]
Kimberly Peirce
, known for her work on
Boys Don't Cry
, directed the new adaptation.
[51]
It was released on October 18, 2013, and received mixed reviews.
Stage productions
[
edit
]
A 1988 Broadway musical
of the same name
, based on King's novel and starring
Betty Buckley
,
Linzi Hateley
, and
Darlene Love
, closed after only 16 previews and 5 performances. The musical is framed as Sue Snell's reliving of the events leading up to Carrie's genocide of her classmates at prom via interrogation by interviewers who are trying to uncover the details of the massacre. An English pop opera filtered through
Greek tragedy
, the show was so notorious that it provided the title to
Ken Mandelbaum
's survey of theatrical disasters

.
[52]
Early in the 21st century, playwright Erik Jackson attempted to secure the rights to stage another production of
Carrie
the musical, but his request was rejected. Jackson eventually earned the consent of King
[53]
to mount a new, officially sanctioned, non-musical production of
Carrie
, which debuted
Off-Broadway
in 2006 with drag queen
Sherry Vine
in the lead role.
[54]
Similarly, many other unofficial spoofs have been staged over the years, usually with a gym teacher named "Miss Collins" (as opposed to the novel's "Miss Desjardin" and the musical's "Miss Gardner"), most notably the "parodage"
Scarrie the Musical
,
[55]
which hit the Illinois stage in 1998 and was revived in 2005; Dad's Garage Theatre's 2002 production of
Carrie White the Musical
;
[56]
and the 2007 New Orleans production of
Carrie's Facts of Life
,
[57]
which was a hybrid of
Carrie
and the sitcom
The Facts of Life
. A high school production of the musical is the focus of "
