Carrie -- Carrie is the story of a girl brought up, almost in isolation, by her psychotically religious mother Margaret. After an embarrassing incident causes her fellow pupils to tease Carrie ruthlessly, her teacher disciplines the students severely. Determined to seek revenge, the students hatch a plot against Carrie, which turns horribly wrong when Carrie's mental powers are unleashed at the school prom.

Stephen King's Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) is a lonely, withdrawn high-school student who is the object of ridicule because of her drabness and because of the influence of her mother (Piper Laurie)--a religious zealot who has kept her in the dark about all things feminine. When Carrie experiences her first period in the gym shower, she is teased and humiliated. Threatened with expulsion from the upcoming prom, the girls' ringleader (Amy Irving) devises a plan: Amy's boyfriend (William Katt) will pretend to court Carrie and then Carrie will be elected Prom Queen. At the prom, Amy and her cohorts (including John Travolta) drop a rigged bucket of pig's blood on Carrie. Carrie's kinetic powers are now unleashed in one of the screen's most-celebrated depictions of merciless and unstoppable fury.

Ends 05/31/12. She is abused by her psychotic mother at home and tormented by cruel students at school. But Carrie White has a secret--and it's about to turn prom night into an unforgettable bloodbath. Sissy Spacek earned a Best Actress Oscar(R) nomination for her performance as the mousy teen whose incredible telekinetic power explodes in unfathomable violence in this 1976 horror classic.
