The premise
An awkward, telekinetic teenage girl's lonely life is dominated by relentless bullying at school and an oppressive religious fanatic mother at home. When her tormentors pull a humiliating prank at the senior prom, she unleashes a horrifying chaos on everyone, leaving nothing but destruction in her wake.
Horror Vault's take
This TV movie reimagining of Stephen King's classic novel follows Carrie White, a tormented teenager crushed between the cruelty of her classmates and the suffocating zealotry of her deeply disturbed mother. Angela Bettis brings a fragile, haunting vulnerability to the role as Carrie begins to discover the extraordinary telekinetic power quietly building within her. The film builds its dread slowly, grounding itself in the raw emotional pain of adolescent humiliation before letting that pain erupt into something truly catastrophic. Told partly in flashback with a courtroom framing device, this version offers a somewhat different structural lens on a story horror fans know well.
