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 teenage girl who is constantly mocked and bullied at her school.
She later develops the power of telekinesis and uses it to wreak vengeance on her tormentors.
The film also features 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 published novel.
De Palma was intrigued by the story and pushed for the studio's permission to direct 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.
Theatrically released on 3 November 1976, by United Artists, Carrie became critically and commercially successful, 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).
Critics and audience members alike widely cite it 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 significantly influenced popular culture, with several publications regarding 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.
