"It has nothing to do with Satan, Mama. It's me. Me. If I concentrate hard enough, I can move things."
High school. It can either create some of your best memories or it can possibly be the worst time of your life. It's bad enough if you're considered an outcast by your peers due to being the "weirdo," but then add the fact that your mother is the town religious fanatic that thinks everything is a sin. Poor Carrie White never had a chance.
Even when one of the bullies tries to make the wrong thing right, it will not only lead to the worst night in Carrie's life, but the worst night in the lives of everyone going to the Senior Prom. Even back in 1976, it was wise to never pick on the student who's a little different, especially if they're telekinetic.
In this episode, there are plenty of things to discuss: being an outcast, revenge, and how sometimes the real monsters are the human ones. Plus this is a first time watch for Melissa, so the biggest question will be if it lives up to the hype of its reputation or if it should drown in a bucket of pig's blood.
