In 1974, Stephen King published his first novel, the story of Carrie White, a troubled young girl, bullied by her peers and daughter to a fanatical fundamentalist mother, who discovers she has telekinetic powers. In 1976, it became the first of his works to be adapted for the big screen and, to this day, remains one of the very best.
CarrieĀ marked Brian De Palmaās arrival as a major director, following smaller cult films such asĀ Sisters,Ā Phantom of the ParadiseĀ andĀ Obsession, and provided a key early role for Sissy Spacek (Badlands), one that would earn her a Best Actress nomination at the Academy AwardsĀ®. Piper Laurie would also pick up a nomination as Carrieās mother, while future stars such as Amy Irving, John Travolta and Nancy Allen were given their first major parts in a big-screen production.
Restored in 4K from the original negative, this collectorās edition provides the definitive release of a horror classic.
