Stephen King's Carrie

 💎💎Carrie💎💎 – In the Maine town of Chamberlain, Carietta “Carrie” White is a 16-year-old girl who is a target of ridicule for her frumpy appearance and unusual religious beliefs, instilled by her despotic mother, Margaret. One day, Carrie has her first period while showering after a physical education class; the terrified Carrie has no understanding of menstruation as her mother, who despises everything related to intimacy, never told her about it. Carrie’s classmates, led by a wealthy, popular girl named Chris Hargensen, throw tampons and sanitary napkins at her. The Gym teacher, Rita Desjardin, helps her clean up and tries to explain. On the way home, Carrie develops an unusual ability to control objects from a distance. Margaret furiously accuses Carrie of sin and locks her in a closet so that she may pray.

The next day, Desjardin reprimands the girls who bullied Carrie and punishes them with a week’s detention, with the penalty of skipping being suspension and exclusion from the Prom; this punishment is given to Chris when she defiantly leaves. After an unsuccessful bid to get her privileges reinstated through her influential father, Chris decides to exact revenge on Carrie. Sue Snell, another popular girl, feels shame for her previous behavior and convinces her boyfriend, Tommy Ross, to invite Carrie to the Prom instead. Carrie is suspicious but accepts his offer and begins sewing herself a Prom dress. Meanwhile, Chris persuades her boyfriend Billy Nolan and his friends to gather two buckets of pig blood as she prepares a measure to rig the Prom Queen election in Carrie’s favor. The Prom initially goes well for Carrie: Tommy’s friends are welcoming and Tommy himself finds that he is attracted to her. Chris’s plan to rig the election is successful and at the moment of the coronation, Chris, from outside, dumps the blood onto Carrie’s and Tommy’s heads. Tommy is knocked unconscious by one of the buckets and dies within minutes. The sight of Carrie drenched in blood invokes laughter from the audience. Unable to withstand the humiliation, Carrie leaves the building.

Outside, Carrie remembers her Telekinesis and decides to enact vengeance on her tormentors. Using her powers, she hermetically seals the Gym, activates the sprinkler system and causes a fire that eventually ignites the school’s fuel tanks, causing a massive explosion that destroys the building. Those present at the Prom are killed by either electric shock, the fire, or the smoke. Carrie, in an overwhelming fit of rage, thwarts any incoming effort to fight the fire by opening the hydrants within the school’s vicinity, then destroys gas stations and cuts power lines on her way home. As she does all this, she broadcasts a telepathic message, making the townspeople aware that the carnage was caused by her, even if they do not know who she is. Carrie returns home to confront Margaret, who believes she has been possessed by Satan and must be killed. Margaret tells her that her conception was a result of what may have been marital rape. She stabs Carrie in the shoulder with a kitchen knife, but Carrie kills her by mentally stopping her heart.

Mortally wounded, Carrie makes her way to the roadhouse where she was conceived. She sees Chris and Billy leaving, having been informed of the destruction by one of Billy’s friends. After Billy attempts to run Carrie over, she mentally takes control of the car and sends it racing into the tavern wall, killing both Billy and Chris. Sue, who has been following Carrie’s “broadcast” finds her collapsed in the parking lot, bleeding from the knife wound. The two have a brief telepathic conversation. Carrie had believed that Sue and Tommy had set her up for the prank but realizes that Sue is innocent and has never felt real animosity towards her. Carrie forgives her, then dies crying out for her mother.

A State of Emergency is declared. As the survivors make plans to relocate, Chamberlain foresees desolation in spite of the government allocation of finances toward rehabilitating the worker districts. Desjardin and the school’s Principal blame themselves for what happened and resign from teaching. Sue publishes a memoir based on her experiences. As a “White Committee” report concludes that there are and will be no others like Carrie, an Appalachian woman enthusiastically writes to her sister about her baby daughter’s Telekinetic powers and reminisces about their grandmother, who had similar abilities.

 

💎💎Carrie 1976 Movie💎💎 – Carrie White is a shy 16-year-old girl who lives with her fanatically religious mother Margaret. Carrie is unpopular at school and is often ostracized by her peers. When Carrie experiences her first period in the school shower, she panics because she was never told of this process. Carrie’s classmates humiliate her by throwing tampons and chanting “Plug it up” until the Gym teacher Miss Collins intervenes. Following conversations with Miss Collins and the Principal, Carrie is dismissed from school for the day. After arriving home, Margaret considers Carrie’s menstruation to be a manifestation of sinful sexual fantasies and she locks Carrie in an altar-like “prayer closet” to pray for forgiveness. At school, Collins reprimands Carrie’s tormentors and punishes them with a week-long after-school detention in Gym class. Those who skip the punitive measure are suspended for three days and banned from the upcoming Prom. Christine “Chris” Hargensen, a wealthy, popular girl who is Carrie’s longtime bully and the leader of Carrie’s classmates, walks out.

Chris plots vengeance against Carrie with her boyfriend Billy Nolan and her best friend Norma. They break into a local farm and kill pigs to drain their blood into a bucket, which they place above the school’s main stage in the Gymnasium. Norma, a prominent figure in the school’s student council regime, plans to rig the Prom Queen election in Carrie’s favor to get her on the stage. Meanwhile, Sue Snell, a deeply remorseful classmate, asks her handsome and popular boyfriend, Tommy Ross, to invite Carrie to Prom. Carrie initially thinks the proposition is a prank, but he insists that it is genuine and she reluctantly accepts after being consoled by Miss Collins. Back at home, she begins to discover that she has the power of Telekinesis as she shakes off her shyness. In spite of Margaret’s cries of protest that Tommy is using her, Carrie puts on a flattering dress and hairstyle for the Prom. Margaret sees Carrie’s Telekinetic powers and denounces her as a witch before Carrie leaves with Tommy.

During the Prom, Chris and Billy hide under the stage while the other conspirators switch the ballots to ensure that Carrie wins the Prom Queen title. As Carrie stands onstage with Tommy, finally beginning to feel accepted by her peers, Chris pulls the rope attached to the bucket of pig blood and douses her. The empty bucket hits Tommy in the head, knocking him unconscious and the crowd is left shocked and speechless at the prank as Chris and Billy sneak out. Carrie begins to hallucinate that everyone is mocking her, remembering her mother’s claim that “they’re all gonna laugh at you.” In a sudden fit of rage, she uses her Telekinesis to seal the exits from the Gym and set it on fire, killing most of the attendees. Sue survives, having been thrown out of the Prom by Miss Collins earlier, but watches as the students and teachers die. As Carrie walks home, Chris and Billy attempt to run her over with Billy’s car, but Carrie senses their presence and kills them by causing their car to overturn and explode.

As Carrie scrubs herself clean at home, Margaret reveals that she was conceived after a rape by her drunken father, an act that Margaret shamefully admits she enjoyed. Saying that “sin never dies,” Margaret comforts Carrie, then stabs her in the back with a kitchen knife and begins to chase her through the house. Carrie levitates several sharp implements and sends them flying towards Margaret, pinning her to a doorway and crucifying her. Carrie then incinerates the house with them still inside. Sometime later, Sue – the only survivor of the Prom – struggles to deal with the trauma she has experienced. She has a nightmare in which she lays flowers on the charred remains of Carrie’s home, with a “For Sale” sign vandalized in red paint with the phrase “Carrie White Burns in Hell!” Suddenly, Carrie’s bloody arm reaches from beneath the rubble and grabs Sue’s forearm. Sue wakes up screaming as her mother comforts her.

In the locker room at her high school, shy teenager Carrie White notices blood running down her legs in the shower. Unaware that she is menstruating for the first time, she panics and screams for help. She is teased by her classmates Sue Snell, Chris Hargenson and Norma, who are reprimanded by the Gym teacher, Miss Collins. Carrie becomes hysterical and Collins slaps her to calm her down. Carrie is sent to the office of the Principal, who expresses disbelief that a girl Carrie’s age is unfamiliar with the concept of menstruation. When the Principal accidentally calls the girl “Cassie” for the third time, Carrie loses her temper and an ashtray shoots off the desk as she runs out of the room. On her walk home, Carrie is taunted by a younger boy on a bicycle, who calls her “creepy Carrie”. Her eyes go wide and the boy flies off his bike. Later, Carrie’s mother, Margaret White, a religious fanatic receives a call from the school, informing her why Carrie left school early. After the call, Margaret hits Carrie and blames her menstruation on lustful thoughts. Carrie pleads innocence, but Margaret locks her in a closet. Inside the closet, a statue of St. Sebastian torments Carrie with its glowing eyes and arrows protruding from its sides. Later, when a distraught Carrie looks in her bedroom mirror, it cracks. The next day in Gym class, Miss Collins punishes the girls who bullied Carrie by assigning them an hour of calisthenics for the next three days, or else they will not be allowed to attend Prom. Chris Hargenson disrespects the Gym teacher, who slaps the girl’s face. Collins tells Chris she cannot go to Prom and Chris storms off.

Meanwhile, in the library, Carrie searches for books on the paranormal and finds a book on Telekinesis. After school, Sue Snell asks her boyfriend Tommy Ross, to take Carrie to the Prom. Tommy reluctantly agrees. That night, Chris persuades her boyfriend, Billy Nolan, to help her get revenge on Carrie. The next day, Tommy asks Carrie to the Prom, but she refuses. In the Gym’s stairwell, Carrie tells Miss Collins that Tommy asked her to the Prom to trick her. Collins says that Carrie has to change her attitude and that, with a little makeup, she could show everyone how beautiful she is. Collins later confronts Sue and Tommy, who claim they are only trying to be nice to Carrie. Tommy goes to Carrie’s house to ask her to the Prom again, but Carrie urges him to go away as her mother is home. Tommy presses her until Carrie finally agrees to be his date. Later that night, Chris, Billy and Billy’s friend, Freddy break into a pig farm. To Chris’s excited screams, Billy repeatedly smashes the pig’s head. Meanwhile, Margaret denies Carrie permission to attend Prom. When Carrie resists, Margaret throws water in her face and tells her to get in the closet. Margaret gets up to close the windows, but they shut by themselves. Carrie warns Margaret that she can move things with her mind and things are going to be different now. Margaret calls her a witch and says she has Satan’s power. At school, news spreads that Tommy is going to the Prom with Carrie. One girl asks Sue why Tommy is not taking her and Sue explains that she is helping the girl.

Carrie makes her own gown for the Prom. As she gets ready, Margaret demands that she take off the dress and burn it. When Carrie refuses, Margaret warns Carrie that everyone is going to laugh at her and begs Carrie not to go. Margaret screams and scratches at her own face, but Carrie orders her to sit down and be quiet, causing Margaret to fall into the bed paralyzed. At the Prom, people are shocked by how pretty Carrie looks. Miss Collins hugs the girl and tells her she will never forget this moment. Tommy coaxes her onto the dancefloor. Carrie stumbles, but Tommy pulls her close and kisses her. She asks what prompted him to invite her to the Prom and he recalls that she liked his poem in English class. When promgoers fill out ballots for Prom King and Queen, Tommy suggests that he and Carrie vote for themselves.

Norma and Freddy collect the ballots, then switch them with fake ones. Meanwhile, Sue has sneaked into the Gym. Tommy and Carrie are announced as Prom King and Queen and Sue runs backstage to get a better look. She notices a rope leading to a bucket, then sees Chris and Billy under the stage. Before she can warn Carrie, Sue is grabbed by Miss Collins and led out of the Gym. As a crown is placed on Carrie’s head, Chriss pulls the rope attached to the bucket and pig blood drains down on Carrie. The emptied bucket falls, hitting Tommy on the head and knocking him out. Hearing her mother’s voice say, “They will all laugh at you,” Carrie imagines the Principal, Miss Collins and all the students are laughing at her. Her eyes go wide and all the lights go out in the school Gym. Doors and windows slam shut and a fire hose sprays the crowd. A teacher and the Principal are electrocuted as they fight over the microphone. A falling backboard slices Collins in half. The Gym bursts into flames and a blood-soaked Carrie walks out, leaving everyone to burn. Chris spots Carrie walking home and tries to run her over, but Carrie causes the car to catch fire.

At home, Carrie finds candles burning throughout the house. She draws herself a bath and cries as she washes off the pig’s blood. In the bedroom, she finds her mother in a white nightgown. Margaret confesses to Carrie that the first time she had sex with Carrie’s father, he was drunk. She claims that he raped her and she liked it. Thus, Carrie was born of sin and Margaret should have killed her at birth. They kneel to pray and Margaret stabs Carrie with a butcher knife. Carrie falls down the stairs, but as her mother approaches, knives fly across the room and impale Margaret in the same position as the St. Sebastian statue. Carrie removes the knives as the house catches fire and drags Margaret into the closet as the house sinks into the Earth. Days later, Sue dreams she is wearing a white nightgown and holding flowers. She comes to a pile of black rocks with a “For Sale” sign that is shaped like a cross. “Carrie White Burns in Hell” is written on it. As Sue places the flowers by the sign, a bloody hand reaches up and grabs her. Sue wakes up screaming and her mother tries to comfort her.

The film begins in the locker room full of teenage girls including Carrie White (Sissy Spacek). Carrie gets her first period and after becoming distressed, cries out for help. Instead of helping, the other girls ridicule and harass her, throwing out tampons, sanitary towels and toilet paper to her. Teacher Miss Collins (Betty Buckley) rushes in to stop the commotion. White, who appears to be bottling extreme rage, snaps a light bulb. After questioning Carrie, Miss Collins realizes that Carrie is unaware of the concept of menstruation. Because of this, Miss Collins asks the school Principal to excuse Carrie from Gym class for a week because of the trauma. Upon her way home, Carrie uses her recently discovered Telekinesis to stop a boy from teasing her. While at home, Carrie is tormented by her delusional mother (Piper Laurie) who locks Carrie in a closet and forces her to pray – she believes that Carrie received her period due to sinning.

Miss Collins, still livid about the incident, berates the other girls and forces them through a detention, deliberately physically exhausting them. The leader of the clique, Chris Hargensen (Nancy Allen), refuses to participate and as punishment, is banned from the upcoming Prom. Furious, she blames Carrie for her misfortune. Meanwhile, another one of the girls, Sue Snell (Amy Irving), feels guilty about her part in teasing Carrie, so she asks her boyfriend, Tommy Ross (William Katt), to take Carrie to the Prom. Tommy begrudgingly agrees. After Tommy asks her to the Prom, Carrie refuses, thinking that yet another trick is being played on her. After a comforting pep talk with Miss Collins and after Tommy’s further insistence, Carrie finally agrees to go to the Prom with Tommy.

While everyone else is getting ready for the Prom, Chris schemes with her boyfriend Billy Nolan (John Travolta) and best friend Norma (P.J. Soles) to get revenge on Carrie. They go to a farm and slaughter some pigs, drain their blood into a bucket and place the bucket on one of the rafters in the school Gym. Carrie asks her mother’s permission to go to the Prom. Her mother becomes unhinged at the suggestion, commenting that Tommy is only after her for sex and that this will lead her down a road to perpetual sin. This leads to a violent argument between Carrie and her mother; who uses her Telekinesis to slam windows and doors in her home. After another fight between Carrie and her mother the night of the Prom, Carrie uses her powers to push her mother into a bed and tells her that she must stop worrying. Carrie and Tommy arrive at the Prom and Carrie begins to feel accepted by Tommy’s peers. Miss Collins relates to Carrie the story of her own Prom, telling her she should cherish the memory forever. Carrie and Tommy dance together; Tommy has since fallen for Carrie and kisses her. Ass per Chris’s instructions, Norma and some of Billy’s friends fix the ballots so that Carrie and Tommy are elected Prom King and Queen. They make their way to the stage and Carrie finally feels what its like to be accepted.

Meanwhile, Sue sneaks into the Prom and sees Chris and Billy under the stage. She realizes their plan: Chris is going to yank a cord and dump pig’s blood all over Carrie as she is declared Prom Queen. Sue rushes toward the stage frantically, but is intercepted by Miss Colins, who thinks that Sue is out to make trouble for Carrie after seeing that Carrie and Tommy are together. Miss Collins throws her out of the Gym, thinking that she wants to spoil Carrie’s momentum. At that exact moment, Chris yanks the cord, drenching Carrie in pig’s blood. The students gasp and look on in horror. Tommy is furious, but the bucket falls and knocks him unconscious. Carrie snaps and imagines that all of the students and faculty are actually laughing at her, which her mother had warned her would happen. Carrie uses her Telekinesis to destroy the Gym and kill her peers and teachers, including Miss Collins. As Carrie walks home, a firetruck is seen passing her. Chris and Billy, who safely witnessed Carrie cause the death of the entire student body, attempt to run Carrie over with Billy’s car. Carrie uses her Telekinesis to destroy the car.

When Carrie returns home, she draws a bath. After she cleans herself, her mother appears and tells her she was the result of a strange marital rape. Then, convinced that her daughter is an evil witch, she takes out a chopping knife and stabs Carrie in the back. Carrie falls down the stairs and stumbles away from her mother. When her mother corners her in the kitchen, Carrie uses her power to crucify her mother with kitchen knives and tools. After the death, Carrie becomes wrought with guilt and using the lit candles, sets her house ablaze. The home eventually collapses and Carrie dies amongst the debris. Sometime later, Sue, having survived the Prom night catastrophe is suffering from depression over the death of her peers. She experiences a nightmare in which she visits the location of Carrie’s house. As she reaches down to put flowers on the burnt lot, Carrie’s blood-stained hand reaches up from the rubble and grabs her. Sue then wakes up screaming in the arms of her mother.
