You guys are terrific. This is hands down the most insightful review of this film. You both are hilarious yet you go deep, and I love it:)
Thank you very much! Appreciate that.
This is a very tragic and sad story. Carrie just wanted to live a normal life as a teenager growing up to become a young woman. She had no refuge at all at home or at school because she was bullied by her mother and her classmates.
Prom or no prom Mrs. White was going to try to kill Carrie because her mother thought of her as a "sinful" mistake because she allowed herself to enjoy herself while being raped.
The only people who didn't deserve to die were Tommy, Ms. Collins and everyone else who didn't laugh at Carrie.
The way Mrs. White was standing after she was killed by Carrie in self defense was very similar to the St. Sebastian statue in the prayer closet.
The reason why Carrie used her telekinesis to make her house collapse was because she couldn't call the police to tell them that she used her telekinesis to defend herself against her mother who tried to kill her even though I don't think that the people in her town would notice or miss her and because if Carrie moved to another town she would be treated as a pariah because the news of what happened and her reputation would precede her.
Good points. Thanks for the comments!!
Carrie is in the top ten horror movies in my opinion. Thanks for the review bros
Absolutely! Thanks for always watching!!
In context, the bucket does not knock Tommy out but according to the book kills him. Carrie has some telepathy in the book so when she looks into their minds including the gym teacher they are really laughing, At the time in the 1970s, teachers were replacement parents so it was no big deal for a slap, hit,ect.
Carrie was done as someone as a character Stephen King knew very unpopular and vulnerable. People like Chris like Townies as opposed to high school kids since they were more dangerous and she came from a rich family.
Great information! Thank you very much!! I love when our viewers do this!
Trivia fact: William Katt was in the final running to play Luke Skywalker. You guys are great. Keep the reviews coming.
Really?! That’s cool and would have been a very different movie.
I never thought that I'd laugh so much while watching a Carrie review. And i absolutely love the contemplative Randy Savage shirt.
Thank you so much!! Armando, Randy and I appreciate it.
I liked that she wore a ballcap. It made it easy to identify her.
😂 I can dig it!
“When people are hysterical don’t smack the shit out of them”😂😂😂😂
Solid advice! 😂
I often wonder what would have happened if Tommy didnt get knocked out. Would he have been able to calm Carrie down and stopped the massacre?
Right?! Would have made a big difference!
Omg this was an awesome review! I was so happy to see it pop up in my notifications. You had great and hilarious thoughts on this movie. I’ve always been torn on Sue’s character. She’s the one that started the “plug it up” chant and we don’t see a specific scene that shows her remorse outside of her asking Tommy to take Carrie out. I can’t tell if she’s a reformed mean girl or just trying to do a good deed to get rid of that pesky guilt.
Yes!! I had the same thoughts!! For a while I thought her and Tommy were in on it and Tommy was reluctant. I also found it weird he kissed Carrie. Like bro, you got a girlfriend still. Not cool. 😂
@@KisstheReviews exactly! If the whole pigs blood followed by the mass incineration hadn’t happened it probably would’ve messed Carrie up more to see him go back to Sue after he did that.
💯
@@KisstheReviews Question: do you guys do reviews for older movies? I showed this vid to my mom and she really enjoyed it. She wanted me to request Village of the Damned from 1960 but I’ve never seen a review for a movie that’s that old.
Of course! We are true CZcams whores. Whatever you want, you get it. 😂
Great video, ridiculously underrated channel
Really appreciate that!
I'm surprised that you didn't talk more about Carrie's mom's death....how she looked like she was actually enjoying it. That was creepy. Loved hearing your guys' take on this one
You’re right. It was almost orgasmic to her. Appreciate you!!
@@KisstheReviews thanks so much for one of the BEST reviews of Carrie ever. love the film but the audience i saw it with in 76 laughed at a lot of it especially the mom's death scene - people were yelling "die already!"
Carrie (1976) is one of the most greatest and scariest horror movies of all time. The story, performance's, direction, music, images, astomphere, tension, and cinematography was so suspenseful, frightening, haunting, mysterious, thrilling, intense, eerie, creepy, and spooky. 😰😱 It was such a nail-biting and intense thrill ride as it will keep you on the edge of your seat.😰😱 It really identifies and analyzes the boundaries of teenage cruelty.🥺😭😔 Sissy Spacek did a phenomenal and spectacular job portraying Carrie White as she put tons of emotion and depth into her role. It was decent and to this day the ending still gives me chills and goosebumps 😰😱 and I still watch it. Carrie (1976) is a true blue ultimate masterpiece in horror cinema. Brian De Palma directed a classic that will be in our hearts forever. It never gets old.😍😎💯👍
Facts!! Thank you for commenting!
@@KisstheReviews Your welcome 😍😎💯👍
Omg i love this review! Love you guys. I laughed way too hard.
Thank you!! ❤️❤️
I was introduced to Carrie at a sleepover party for my best friend's 12th bday. Needless to say we couldn't get past the opening scene lol. But I mustered up the courage to watch it again and again. It's become one of my favorite horror films.
Unfortunately I could never quite get over Sissy Spacek as Carrie. Powerhouse of an actor she is, even in "The Long Walk Home," she was still Carrie to me.
Keep working on your telekinetic powers Corey! You never know when they might kick in lol.
Hi!! Such a brilliant story and it stayed relatively close to the book, which was the biggest factor for me. I had the same problem with Sissy. I watched Coal Miners Daughter wondering why she did burn up her abusive husband. 😂
I’m going the Deadpool route to ignite my mutant gene…
@@KisstheReviews but didn't you think the book, that read like a court transcript was kinda annoying? It was to me lol. And I love me a long winded Steven King. I read all 1000 plus pages of IT!
It was a bit. I liked it bc it made it easier to read with my dyslexic arse. 😂
I love how you noticed the dollar store Jesus looks like Dave Mustaine. Funny how Megadeth had a song "Looking Down the Cross" on their debut album 9 years after this movie came out. How awesome if Mustaine actually noticed this too (Even subconsciously) and it was the true inspiration for the song?! Lol
Right?! That would be awesome!!
In the book, there wasn't a shower in the household because Margaret (Carrie's mom) thought showers were sinful.
Eww…like Dookie in the Wire.
@@KisstheReviews At least Carrie was allowed a bath.
Hi. Great reaction. The statue inside of the closet is St. Sebastian, who was persecuted for being a Christian. He was tied to a tree and shot with arrows. He was healed by St. Irene of Rome but died after being beaten with clubs by the emperor Diocletian’s soldiers.
Hi! Great comment but the statue will always be coked out Dave Mustane to us. 😂
Thanks for commenting!
I didn't know that. I always thought it weird how Jesus had arrows sticking out of His side.
@@timebandito4278 Every year some of the local fourth graders come to the reference desk for their big religious ed. class project I help them find info about a patron saint whose feast day falls around their birthday. A great book is Butler’s Lives of the Saints.
That P.E. teacher ..🍰 yummmm!
This movie is a horror classic! Great review and reaction!
Yes it is!! Thank you very much.
@@KisstheReviews You're welcome 😊!
Classic. John Travoltas first film I think.
Yessir!
@@KisstheReviews her hand coming out at end of movie will live with me forever lol.
😂 Dude…for real!
@@KisstheReviews has anyone requested the classic teenwolf or the tragic teenwolf 2 yet?
Not yet! 😂
The Bible beater bath is a symbolic baptism.
Good call. You’d figure, with my upbringing, I would’ve picked up on that. Thanks for the comment!
1. Stephen King threw this book into the trash but his wife took it out and told him to publish it. It was his first book to be published outside pulp adult magazines and it was the first one adapted into a movie. The rest is history.
2. As long as I have a face Norma/P.J. Soles has a place to sit.💕😍 She has to ace the ballcap though
3. Back then teachers could strike the kid if necessary.
4. Her mother is a real piece of work.
5. Mr. Fromm/teacher ragging Carrie/Sydney Lassick played Chezwick in "One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest".
6 Tommy, Sue and Miss Collins were really trying to help her. I read the book.
7. If Billy/John Travolta is a high school student, so am I.
8. Margaret is impaled in the same position as Carrie's St, Sabastian statue.
9. As usual with King remakes they all sucked. So far, they're 0/10
Great facts!
I gotta admit .I like Carrie's pillows
But…they’re dirty. 😂
@@KisstheReviews 😃
@@KisstheReviews Well of course they were. There was no shower in the home.
You guys are on CZcams now so, that is payback! I was in hysterics when you were talking about what would happen if it were a guy with something wrong with his dick. When you were talking about his eyes bugging out because he had no idea what was going to happen and then when it happened that's how his eyes looked like. Damn! I was laughing so hard! When you were talking about how it must have been made by a man, that had me cracking up!
That’s awesome!! Love to hear all of this! Thank you so much!
@@KisstheReviews You're so welcome!
13:01 or maybe Billy is a Eunuch
😂 Also plausible
