CARRIE - THE SATAN'S YOUNGEST DAUGHTER was the first film adaptation of a Stephen King novel and is still considered one of the best. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie deliver an impressive duel in the roles of shy loner and religiously fanatical mother, for which both received an Oscar® nomination. The horror classic finally helped Brian De Palma make his breakthrough as a director and manifested his reputation as a "master of the macabre".
