The end scene right from the start of the slow-mo action is one of the finest scenes ever in a horror film and the performances from Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie were definitely worthy of their Oscar nominations.
I've never seen the sequel, is it at least worth a rental?
I watched Carrie on Netflix the other week and was blown away by it, watching it as an adult rather than a teenager I took more away from it, De Palma is a great film maker - I marked it 4.5/5 on Letterboxd because I thought the first 20-30 mins were way too pervy haha.
