What is Carrie about?
Withdrawn and sensitive teenager Carrie White faces bullying from her classmates and abuse from her fanatically pious mother. When she begins to suspect that she has supernatural powers, things take a dark and violent turn.
Carrie is a 1976 American supernatural horror film directed by Brian De Palma from a screenplay written by Lawrence D. Cohen, adapted from Stephen King's 1974 novel Carrie. The film stars Sissy Spacek as Carrie White, a shy teenage girl who is constantly mocked and bullied at her school. She later develops the power of telekinesis and uses it to wreak vengeance on her tormentors. The film also features Piper Laurie, Amy Irving, Nancy Allen, William Katt, P. J. Soles, Betty Buckley, and John Travolta in supporting roles. It is the first film in the Carrie franchise.

Across 192 sampled frames, Carrie builds its coverage from medium shots (55% of the sample), with close-ups (22%) carrying much of the rest. Cinematographer Mario Tosi keeps 56% of it in soft, low-key light. 64% of the frames play at night or in the failing light of dusk. Vintage glass shapes the frame. Focus stays shallow in 77% of the frames, isolating subjects from their surroundings. The production design places the film in the 1970s.
