"A modest but effective shock-suspense drama about a pubescent girl, her evangelical mother and cruel schoolmates."

Variety
Variety"Brian De Palma transcends the pulpy horror feel by emphasising the awakening-sexuality metaphor, and using some glorious trickery."
—
Total Film
Total Film"It is sometimes funny in a puzzling kind of way, it is generally overwrought in an irritating kind of way, and once in a while it is inappropriately touching."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"An absolutely spellbinding horror movie, with a shock at the end that's the best thing along those lines since the shark leaped aboard in Jaws."
—
Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"The reason Carrie is still held in such high regard as a horror classic is very simple: it's all in the sheer directorial bravado. De Palma at the top of his game."
—
Empire Magazine
Empire Magazine"Unlike other examples of the horror genre, there are classic elements of tragedy that lend this gruesome tale a compelling edge."
