Strange things start happening around her and she soon learns that she is the cause of these happenings due to her telekinetic abilities.
After an incident at the school, one of the girls in unable to attend the prom and blames everything on Carrie.

Directed by Brian De Palma, produced by Paul Monash, screenplay written by Lawrence D. Cohen as per the aforementioned 1974 book by Stephen King and starring Piper Laurie, John Travolta and Sissy Spacek as Carrie White.
Amazing movie! The way the story line is built up through out the film is incredible and hits on everything to ensure a great climactic scene come the prom.
The effects were just awesome and scarred the hell out of me when I was a kid. The blood, fire, terror and mayhem just came together so well and made me love this movie as well as fear it.
Although some of the dialogue is kind of out dated, the acting made up for it. Amazing performance by Sissy Spacek! No matter what the scenario was, she was spot on each and every time and even received an academy award nomination for the role.
The film was so perfectly done that they did a remake in 2013 starring Chloe Grace Moretz as the titular character and did not change a thing other than modernizing it. That goes to show you how great the original was if Hollywood figured it had to be identical to it's predecessor.
Because this was one of my first horror movies I am somewhat biased but I still thing that either way, I would be giving this an amazing rating, so 9 out of 10 for Carrie.
