I just sat through Carrie today, just to pass the time. I of course no longer believe in superstitious garbage, but I have to say, the plot of that movie was still moving.
Carrie had an abusive mother, and was bullied in school. Looking back at the movie now, I could totally identify with Carrie in her feeling alone with nobody to turn to, but because of bullying also at the same time having a lack of trust issue, in not knowing who was trying to help you, or set you up. In watching that old movie today, I still got angry at her bullies, but wanted to scream at Carrie that the people who wanted to help her, only wanted to help her.
But I definitely still remember the pain of bullying.
I hardly characterize Carrie as a horror movie. More like a gory chick flick.
