In 1974, Stephen King published his first novel, the story of Carrie White, a troubled young girl, bullied by her peers and daughter to a fanatical fundamentalist mother, who discovers she has telekinetic powers. In 1976, it became the first of his works to be adapted for the big screen and, to this day, remains one of the very best.
Carrie marked Brian De Palma's arrival as a major director, following smaller cult films such as Sisters, Phantom of the Paradise and Obsession, and provided a key early role for Sissy Spacek (Badlands), one that would earn her a Best Actress nomination at the Academy Awards. Piper Laurie would also pick up a nomination, for Best Supporting Actress, as Carrie's mother, while future stars such as Amy Irving, John Travolta and Nancy Allen were give their first major parts in a big-screen production.
Restored in 4K from the original negative, this collector's edition provides the definitive release of a horror classic.

Great disc.
What a lovely surprise. The steelbook art attracted me for the purchase, but what was brilliant was the clarity of the movie and excellent extras. Delivery was swift and in mint condition.

Very Happy
I purchased this at a reduced price and the online images do not do the steelbook the justice it deserves. It looks amazing in person and I wish more steelbooks were of this quality, great release of a classic film.

Great Film
I love Carrie, its the first horror film I saw and what a scare at the end! I love it Having a copy in my collection now is great and especially as its now got this Zavvi steel book release. Carrie White is a troubled girl and her problems get only worse as she is bullied at school and has a difficult (understatement) mother!! The iconic scenes in this movie will stick with me forever and Sissy Spacek is incredible and yes John Travolta is there in an early movie apperence The Steel book looks great, the artwork is stunning a great edition to my collection
