Very solid King film adaptation that gains added value due to the contribution of class actors such as Scott and Sheen, but especially excels in the area of the score, where Tangerine Dream once again stands out with their very atmospheric music.
3.5*

This one is a bit cheesy, but still, this is absolutely great over-the-top-80s-fun. Little forgotten now I follow this Stephen King film adaptation, with Drew Barrymore just after ET That cute sister of Elliot was already heavily on coke and was pretty much the shock of Hollywood at the time. Carrie to the 12th power. Shall we agree that around the 40th anniversary of the film in 2024 this will just be a big fat cult.
