One of my favorite Stephen King films, shout-out to Stephen King's wife for saving Carrie, when Stephen King was writing the novel at the time, he threw it away in the trash, he thought it was not good, but his wife took the writings and read them, and told Stephen King to keep writing and finish the novel

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

Really?!! Wow! It's always the projects that creatives don't like that end up being some of their biggest successes! Thank God his wife saw the vision!

[@nancycottone2155]

@@SistaGurlonFilms That's one of the reason's I like the 2013 remake better because at least in that one when the bucket hit Tommy everyone stopped laughing and realized it was'ent funny anymore

[@valve6642]

Miss Collins thought Sue was jealous and would cause a problem so she got Sue out of there fast. Tommy thought Sue was jealous also. Sue just came to see who would be the king and queen, that's why she stood by the stage. She had no idea what the others had planned. The laughing was in Carrie's MIND. But NORMA (red hat) actually knew the plan and DID laugh

[@michaelcunningham2808]

Given what happened Sue's plan to make it up to Carrie by having Tommy take her to the prom is a good illustration of the old saying "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

[@reneedennis2011]

Yup.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

Absolutely!!! I know she regretted that decision for the rest of her life. She had to!

[@melenatorr]

@@SistaGurlonFilms She had to, but still not fair. The one who should have survived and gone crazy was Chris. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, but the walkers on the way don't realize that. Sue truly wanted to do a good thing.

[@kaidt5861]

I always empathized with Carrie; she wasn't hurting nobody. I just wished she would have only gone after the ones that had actually done something to her. Like letting Tommy burn up and killing the teacher wasn't necessary. She deserved better. Also, it's why I love Friday the 13th pt 7 so much b/c it was effectively Carrie vs. Jason, lol.

[@donniehagy5125]

Tommy was already dead. He died when the bucket hit him in the head.

[@jessediaz1293]

This movie right here goes out to all the baby’s mommas, mommas..mommas, mamas. 😂 Happy Mothers’s Day. I love this movie I’m ecstatic that you like it too SG! My favorite character is the teacher, Ms. Slap-a-Ho just putting hands on everybody lol. Interesting fact. In the scene where momma is telling Carrie about the dress being red and Carrie corrects her saying it’s pink. She kept going off script and saying the dress is red. The director told the actress, Piper Laurie why she kept saying the dress is red. Piper Laurie said that her character’s beliefs and views are so warped and sees things so puritanical that in her mind it’s shows as red. She doesn’t believe in others intentions and just sees the sin. She also thought the movie was a dark comedy. Interesting perspective and a really great performance that she gives. Great reaction Sista Gurl, love your commentary. 👍🏾

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

Not Ms Slap-a-ho 😂😂 She did Slap 2 students and snatched another one up by the hair! She was lowkey Deebow 😂😂 And thank you for the other info about the movie! Piper Laurie played the hell out this role! Now her thinking it was a dark comedy is crazy 😂😂

[@DSR299]

Chris' confrontation with Ms. Collins was an absolute Tresure. What great acting with maximum emotion displayed.

[@maisade]

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree on the performance differences between the original and the sequels/remakes. I gave them all a fair viewing, but they don't have the energy that Spacek and Laurie brought to the film.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

Yea, their performances were top tier! Now I could see Toni Collette playing Mrs. White in a reboot. She definitely has the acting chops needed for this character

[@hauntedbelle]

In the book Tommy died because of the bucket if I'm remembering right. I know I hated this movie when I first saw it because I read the book first and the movie is missing what came after the gym. It was because of budget but I was so looking forward to seeing it and it didn't happen.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

I think I should read the book at this point. Another comment highlighted some of the other things that were left out of the movie. Now I'm curious 🤔

For sure 100%

[@petermartinez3875]

Hey Sista!! Carrie (1976) was beyond creepy and disturbing!!! It’s insane she was abused by her own psychotic mother & a group of bullies!! Sissy Spacek was tremendous in this, but if you haven’t seen In the Bedroom (2001) the one she did with the late actor Tom Wilkinson was extraordinary their performances!! U should react to it, it’s very dark & tragic! Hard to believe this was John Travolta’s debut film in this he was young but a phenomenal actor! He was ruthless in the movie, The Taking of Pelham 123 react to that one as well. In the ending was satisfying when Carrie uses her telekinetic powers to kill her crazy mother! Great reaction❤💯

I heard Roger Corman passed away last night. Roger Corman was a legendary filmmaker, king of the B-movies, and launched so many careers. So yeah, definitely, I gotta recommend a movie to honor his passing. There are honestly so many horror movies I could choose from, but I think it really comes down to one choice: One of his Edgar Allan Poe movies. His Edgar Allan Poe are celebrated and regarded as some of Roger Corman's best work, and for good reason. Roger Corman tried his best to adapt the Poe stories while also being original and paying tribute to Poe. They're gothic movies dripping with atmosphere. If I had to suggest any of them, I would recommend either the 1960 movie House of Usher or the 1964 movie The Masque of the Red Death, if that's OKay? Those are the two best of the Edgar Allan Poe series. It'd be another reason to react to them. I think it'd make for a fun reaction 🙂

[@hotflesh66]

Mark Damon, from Corman's version of The House of Usher with Vincent Price, who won a Golden Globe, and became a mega-Producer, also passed.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

I do love a good Edgar Allan Poe tale! Thank you for the suggestions! I'll add them to the list!

[@meheuck]

@@SistaGurlonFilms Another important detail about Roger Corman is that as a producer, for 3 decades when he was running his low-budget companies New World Pictures and then New Concorde, he put more women in the director's chair than all but one major studio. Sometimes the reasons were less than noble, but the data is indisputable.

@@SistaGurlonFilms The Mist is a good one! Interesting bit of trivia: They changed the ending from King's original story... but he actually preferred the movie's ending to the one he wrote! Very unusual for Stephen King, he usually doesn't like the adaptations of his work.

[@williamjones6031]

1. Stephen King threw this book away, but his wife took it out and told him to send it in. It's the first one that sold to a legitimate publisher that wasn't adult pulp and the first to be adapted into a movie. 2. Back then teachers were allowed to strike a student if warranted. (Class of 1979) 3. Sissy and Piper Laurie were both nominated for Acadamy Awards, but horror didn't get love back then. 4. Norma/PJ Soles As long as I have a face.... (she has to ace that ballcap) 5. Sue, Tommy and Miss Collins really were trying to help Carrie. I read the book. 6. If Billy's a high school student, so am I. 7. Margaret's crucifixion pose is the same as the St. Sabastian. 8. In the book half the town burns. The budget didn't allow it to be included in this adaptation. 9. The only thing good in the second LOSER remake is Carrie/Chloe Grace Moretz could get it. (King remakes are 0/10) Including "IT" and "The Stand".

[@liljay216]

I don't understand why they kept producing Carrie remakes and a sequel. They should've just made a film about Carrie's mom upbringing and origin story. That would've been terrifying.

[@SistaGurlonFilms]

Fun fact: Jack Fisk is her husband and he was the production designer for this movie

[@centurycountess4949]

oh my gosh girl I just watched this film last night and Now I have to recommend it. it's the 1990 Deadly Manor. it's got a mystery vibe in all different forms because it has your brain thinking the film is going one way, then going another but then it's a big surprise after another. There is another film I also want to recommend It's called " The Bat" With actor Vincent Price and Agnes Moorhead I believe it's a film from the 50's I think you'll get a good laugh with the character Lizzie Allen whose very dramatic and miss Agnes's character is one of those smart characters, she keeps a gun on her..

[@barstro]

Excellent movie. The music makes this movie all the more creepy. The horrifying ending where the Carrie's hand reaches out of the ground for Sue is elevated by the piercing music played during the scene. It was masterful. That scene scared the crap out of when I first saw the movie. FYI: that statue in the closet was of St Sebastian who was a Christian martyr and patron saint of athletes and archers. He was killed during the Diocletian Persecution of Christians. He was initially tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows, though this did not kill him. He was nursed back to health by Saint Irene. After his recovery, Sebastian confronted Diocletian publicly and was clubbed to death for his impudence.

Very entertaining and insightful reaction. A couple of years later director Brian De Palma made another supernatural thriller, "The Fury" (1978), about a young woman with certain powers, this time starring Amy Irving (who played Sue here). It doesn't have the emotional power or blockbuster performances of "Carrie" but it's similar in style with its humor and stylish sequences. Well worth checking out.

The statue in Carrie’s closet is not actually Jesus. It is a statue of St. Sebastian. He is commonly depicted in art and literature tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows.
