At the centre of the terror is Carrie (Sissy Spacek), a tortured high-school misfit with no confidence, no friends and no idea as to the extent of her 'secret powers' of telekinesis. But when her psychotic mother and sadistic classmates finally go too far, the once shy teen becomes an unrestrained, vengeance-seeking powerhouse who with the help of her 'special gift' causes all hell to break loose in a famed cinematic frenzy of blood, fire and brimstone that will take you to the very depths of horror and beyond. (20th Century Fox AU)
