Review of Carrie (1976) by Richard Schickel for Time — 24 Jan 1991
Carrie's ultimate triumph is spectacular beyond anything one is used to in this antique genre. Brian De Palma's sure and powerfully individual style, blending romance, darkish satirical humor and suspenseful spookiness, transforms what could have been dreary stuff.
From its first shot, Carrie catches the mind, energetically shakes it and refuses to let go even after the end credits have rolled.
