Carrie is a 1976 American supernatural horror film directed by Brian De Palma from a screenplay written by Lawrence D. Cohen, adapted from Stephen King’s 1974 epistolary novel of the same name. The film stars Sissy Spacek as Carrie White, a shy 16-year-old who is consistently mocked and bullied at school. Her peers are unaware that she possesses telekinetic powers. The film also featured Piper Laurie, Amy Irving, Nancy Allen, William Katt, P. J. Soles, Betty Buckley, and John Travolta in supporting roles. It is the first film in the Carrie franchise.
The film was based on King’s first novel by the same name. De Palma was intrigued by the story and pushed for the studio to direct it while Spacek was encouraged by her husband to audition. It is the first of more than 100 film and television productions adapted from, or based on, the published works of King.
Carrie was theatrically released on November 3, 1976, by United Artists. The film became a critical and commercial success, grossing over $33.8 million against its $1.8 million budget. It received two nominations at the 49th Academy Awards: Best Actress (for Spacek) and Best Supporting Actress (for Laurie). It is widely cited by critics and audience members alike as the best adaptation of the novel amongst the numerous films and television shows based on the character, as well as one of the best films based on King’s publications. The film has had a significant influence on popular culture. Several publications have regarded it as one of the greatest horror films ever made. In 2008, Carrie was ranked 86th on Empire’s list of The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time. It was ranked 15th on Entertainment Weekly’s list of the 50 Best High School Movies, and 46th on the American Film Institute list AFI’s 100 Years…100 Thrills. The film’s prom scene has had a major influence on popular culture and was ranked eighth on Bravo’s 2004 program The 100 Scariest Movie Moments.
