Halloween Movie Classic with Experience: Carrie – Thursday, October 31 at 9:00 PM

Every month, Cinecitta organizes film specials fully styled in the theme of a film classic. For Halloween, we will, of course, be screening one of the most iconic horror films ever: Brian De Palma’s Carrie.

Carrie received mostly rave reviews and is regarded as one of the best films of 1976, having become a horror classic. Carrie is a classic that is not only frightening but has also had a significant influence on the genre and the films we see today. The themes the film addresses, such as bullying and feminism, are just as relevant today as they were in 1976.

About the movie Carrie

The shy and sensitive teenager Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) is weighed down by bullying from her classmates at school, while at home she is dominated by her extremely religious mother (Piper Laurie). A series of strange events lead her to suspect that she possesses supernatural powers. When Tommy Ross (William Katt), a sympathetic boy, invites her to the prom, things take a dark and violent turn.

The film is based on Stephen King’s first published story from 1974. In the initial version of the script, writer Lawrence D. Cohen remained faithful to the original story. However, director Brian De Palma decided to abandon this approach and tell Carrie’s story in a completely linear way.

Brian De Palma is one of Hollywood’s greatest stylists from the 1970s to the ’90s. With Carrie, he introduced John Travolta and demonstrated his unique eye for blending editing, music, sound effects, and cinematography.
