For Halloween Night (11.45 pm), Giunti Odeon appeals to all horror lovers with a great cult film directed by Brian De Palma and based on a novel by Stephen King. Carrie, without warning and in the shower of a women's locker room, discovers her first menstruation. She is mocked by her classmates and immediately defended by Professor Collins, who punishes the girls with strenuous physical exercises. If Sue Snell repents by convincing her boyfriend to take Carrie to the prom, Chris Hargenson will organise a nasty prank on the girl, who, however, endowed with telekinetic powers, will take her revenge...

The colour red often invades the shots of Carrie, the cult film by Brian De Palma that consecrated the film fortune of Stephen King (who, often critical of the film versions of his books, has always loved this film). Adapting the first novel by the great master of North American horror fiction, the most ‘technical’, theoretical, citationist of the New Hollywood directors builds a perfect and baroque terror machine, in which blood becomes a means, a symbol and finally a consequence of an adolescent maturation that has never been so ruthless. The acting body of Sissy Spacek is fundamental, capable of expressing the most violent of frailties. Not to be outdone is the hallucinated mother played by Piper Laurie (both earned well-deserved Oscar nominations). Carrie is also a seminal work, paving the way for the teen slasher movies of the years to come: without this film, there would not have been the Halloween, Friday the 13th and Scream sagas (and maybe not even school comedies like Animal House). Of one thing you can be sure: you will scream with fear until the very last second.
