Posted : 1 month, 4 weeks ago on 1 July 2008 03:05 (A review of Carrie)

A horror film about the high school caste system featuring the scariest monster to ever come out of a horror film -- Carrie's disturbing evangelical mother with some seriously mistaken ideas about menstruation and sex. The vaguely porno-tastic introduction to the whole proceedings sets the viewer up for a different sort of locker room shower confrontation...but then Carrie starts to bleed and the whole thing just gets campier, darker, and more cruel as we go along. By the time Carrie's mom stabs her in the back, we feel for the poor thing. Piper Laurie's performance is fantastic, and when she screams out in orgasmic delight during the vaguely lesbo-incestuous martyrdom I was ready to give her the Oscar. Still features one of the better scare endings of any horror film.
