What it really is is a tragedy.

[eyeshine72]

Agreed.

[rbhudson]

Agreed. She's in such a terrible situation and if her life had been different she could have accomplished so much with her powers :/

[annethecatdetective]

Indeed.

[nonnymouscawitz]

I just don't find it scary. At all. Thoroughly enjoyable, but not scary.

That being said, I don't find it satisfying when she kills everyone for several reasons: 1) Several of the people she killed had never done a thing to her, and the gym teacher at least had actively tried to help her. (Also, in the book, isn't her date alive but unconscious until she bars the gym and essentially seals his fate?) 2) These are teenagers. Horrible, bullying, asshole teenagers, yes, but teenagers who did not come home to their parents. And 3) Carrie herself is miserable afterwards, especially when she kills her mother. We may be happy because her mother is a psycho, but to Carrie she's lost everything she ever loved.

I think too much about these things.

[(Anonymous)]

Agree with your feelings about her killing everyone. Plus, if I recall rightly, wasn't she sort of unaware of just how powerful her abilities were? Like, obviously she was angry and hurt, but I don't know if she necessarily intended to go THAT far in using her powers that night; rather, they just went WAY out of control? I could be wrong on that one, though, it's been some time since I've seen the film.

I also agree that it's not the most terrifying horror film I've ever seen, but there are a couple parts I remember finding quite creepy all the same. The ending is disturbing and startling, and there's also a moment at Carrie's home, when her mom is on a rampage and coming after her with a knife-there's a point where you see the mom from Carrie's perspective as she's cowering on the floor, and the mom's got this really freaky look on her face and laughing maniacally.

And then after the tragedy at the high school, when Carrie's walking home later that night drenched in the blood, the way her eyes are all bugged out...I wouldn't want to encounter that driving down the road late at night, let's just put it that way.

Idk, any teenager who pours goddamn animal blood on an already socially awkward and outcasted girl in front of hundreds of people, are shitty human beings.
There's bullying and then there's beig a sociopath.

[otakugal15]

Wait, i thought in the book she saved the teacher? Mind, it's been YEARS since I last read the book. And I remember therr being a kind of friendship between her and tye other girl. And I think there was sorta one in the original film. I think.

[dahli]

Which Carrie? The 70's? 90's? I don't know which other they made.

It's satisfying when the bullies die, but I feel bad for the innocent ones that die. Oh and the twins, that one was brutal.

[(Anonymous)]

I can see why you'd feel that. When I read the book in no way shape or form did Carrie seem like the bad guy. She was absolutely the victim.

It's a very Stephen King horror, I think. Subtle, horrifying in ways you don't expect. Certainly with the book, it stayed with me and still haunts me to this day.

[(Anonymous)]

She was absolutely the victim WHO KILLED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. Let's not leave that last clause off there, because I'm pretty sure the families of those other kids feel that their late children were also at least a little victimized, when they were murdered and all.

And that's what makes it, as someone above said, a tragedy. It didn't have to turn out that way. If any of a hundred things had gone just a little differently, Carrie's power could have been something beautiful and amazing. Instead, she and her entire class died horribly, screaming in terror.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't consider it horror either, really. A dark coming of age tale. Or a coming of age tale with some horror elements. But yeah, pretty much everyone she killed had it coming, so I don't feel bad for them.

[(Anonymous)]

Ummm.....? No? She killed a bunch of people who had never done anything to her or who had helped her and been nice to her.

[iceyred]

When I saw it, it seemed like somebody's revenge fantasy against the jerks in school. Granted, I saw it when I was still small enough to have a bedtime and sleep with stuffed animal, so I might be mis-remembering.

[loracarol]

I always felt bad for her. :( I've always wanted to write a fix-it fic, but IDK if anyone would be interested lol. |D

[(Anonymous)]

But this isn't very controversial, is it?

[(Anonymous)]

I never thought the books or movies were scary. I just felt very sorry for Carrie and the people who tried being nice to her. I used to wonder how things would've turned out if she'd been crowned prom queen and had people applauding her without the whole pig blood mess. I like to think that maybe she would've come out of her shell more and made some nice friends. Maybe she would've done some more sewing on the side and earned enough money to movie away from her crazy mom. I know these are all optimistic scenerios, but I'm the kind of person who likes to think the kids in The Breakfast Club all talked to each other Monday instead of going back to ignoring each other.

[nightscale]

Probably an unpopular opinion: but I actually quite like the newest remake because I enjoyed the upping of the TK powers, that shit was fun to watch.

As for Carrie herself I kind of feel sorry for her but also think she goes way too far with it, but I also find it hard to care about the people she kills because they're mostly two-dimensional teen bullies.

[tabaqui]

You should definitely read the book. There's more backstory, and more stuff *in* Carrie's head/from her POV, and it's really amazing and heartbreaking and freaky.

One of the very few SK books I've read more than once, and still re-read.

[herpymcderp]

+1 Kinda.

I also couldn't see The Exorcist as a horror movie though either, because I sat through it wondering if there was anyone in the entire film who wasn't a massive d-bag. Same goes for Jaws (I was rooting for the shark).

[gobbledigook]

It's revenge porn for the viewers who can relate. It's alright.

[cactuspaws]

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be rooting for her. I know I was.

[(Anonymous)]

Is this the one where the girl gets her period in the shower and then the other girls bully her for freaking out about it? Yeah, kinda hard to sympathize with the bullies but IIRC she also killed the teacher that tried to help her.

I agree it's not really a horror since the girl was bullied, but it is sad.

[annethecatdetective]

Saaame.

Then again, I was kind of viciously bullied through... well, yeah, most of my childhood and teen years, so... like, yeah, obviously I'm rooting for this girl to use her telekinetic powers to destroy her evil classmates. Even if it can't end well for her, it's still so satisfying to know that in fiction, at least, the bullies get their comeuppance.
