Jackie Bonsignore & Tara Erickson watch Carrie (1976) for the first time in this full movie reaction and review celebrating the Stephen King horror classic’s 50th anniversary! Directed by Brian De Palma and led by Sissy Spacek’s Oscar-nominated performance as Carrie White, the film follows a bullied teenager whose telekinetic powers erupt after years of cruelty and religious abuse. Jackie & Tara react to “They’re all gonna laugh at you,” Margaret White’s terrifying closet scenes, the pig’s-blood prom sequence, De Palma’s split-screen climax, and the legendary final jump scare!
