‘Plug it up! Plug it up!” Man! I never felt so bad for a chick in a movie like I did for Carrie. The acting is done so well in the flick. I’ve always seen Carrie as a drama honestly. Even with the end scene, I still put it under a drama instead of Horror
I know right and it’s a good classic movie and I hope that the remake gets a 4k too since I really did enjoy that movie and I like it better than the original movie the original movie was good I just prefer the remake way better but that just me though
Most of the movie I would absolutely agree sticking in the drama category. Even without the final scene, the movie would work as a straight drama/coming of age story.
@@midlevelmedia Carrie really is one of my fav films. The acting and the character development truly made me care for the actors. I felt horrible for the teacher who stood up for Carrie and the students who were trying to do good for her-heartbreaking! And that soundtrack pulls at the heartstrings at certain points of the film-and then like you said in the video, the music gets extremely creepy.
The original film is still so powerful because of Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie's performances.
Brian De Palma filmed it like a (twisted) fairy tale, all those diffusion filters really make it all feel like a dream/nightmare.
I think it's one of the most beautifully filmed horror movies ever.
I must get this 4K UHD disc, even though I still own the 2002 DVD and 2008 blu-ray.
So glad the transfer delivers. This movie is definitely a classic. While not a traditional horror movie per se, it's akin to a Greek tragedy to me.
Absolutely! Highly recommend it!
This has me wondering what, exactly, is a “traditional horror movie.”
I love the Steelbook of Carrie cause it looks Spectacular 👊👊📽
I totally agree with Tim Walden that Carrie is Not the Villian. She is so abuse from the start of the film from everyone and she finally gets payback! Great movie! Thanks for review Ken
The best villians are the ones who's motivations you can get behind. She murdered an entire gymnasium of people, some of which were good to her the entire movie. We can sympathize with her absolutely, but make no mistake, she is a monster and the villian of this story.
Thanks! I’m usually very much in the minority on my opinions. It’s nice to have someone agree and support my perspective once in awhile.
I almost dread the backlash I know I’ll receive once I get my own channel up and running....assuming I get any views, that is.
Carrie looks and sounds Spectacular on 4k Ultra HD 👊👊📽
when i was a kid in 80s Carrie's mom terrified and gave my nightmare for days way more then jason or Freddie or michel myers i never understood why🤣
Same here. Terrifying
For me it was all about that final scene.
I don’t think I’d ever consider Carrie the villain in this film. She’s a traumatized victim who finally snaps due to abuse from broadly everyone in her life.
That final confrontation with Mom and final scene though... both get me every time.

@@midlevelmedia Admittedly I’m probably due for a memory refresher on this one but, even after my last watch, I didn’t see her that way. I saw her as someone pushed past the breaking point by the actual monsters in this story. The innocents were their victims, not hers, casualties of a new power unleashed by a fellow victim who could not fully control it, engulfed by the utter humiliation and rage her victimhood subjected her to.
I’ve seen this movie only twice, I believe. Around 1983 when I was about six years old (thanks, mom, my guide into horror at that age!) and again about five years ago.
Thanks for the review Ken. It's a great movie with great acting. This movie has always creeped me out for some reason. I'm getting the 4K steelbook.
Such a creepy and unsettling Atmosphere to it.
My birth movie :) Forget fave Horror movie... it's my fave EVER film...like EVER!!!! De Palma is such a brilliant director and Carrie has got to be his ULTIMATE classic! I can't count how many times I've seen this film since I first saw it as a kid. I'm in the UK and had to stay up late one night when it was shown on BBC1. Seriously cannot wait to see this on 4K. Sissy played the character soooo well and always makes me feel super sad throughout. Piper is brilliant and hilarious in her role as Margaret White. I own the Arrow special Edition release which was ace, but waiting to see this in a proper brand new 4K transfer has me super excited!!!
If you like De Palma, try watching Sisters from 1974, absolutely amazing movie too!
Thanks for the awesome review!
Huge fan of this movie. Scared the hell out of me as a kid
So good I agree!
I'm getting Carrie soon too Ken I can't wait to see it take care man Great review🆒🆒🎄🎄❄❄🧑🎄🧑🎄🤶🤶🎅🎅
Thanks!
Also... Massive round of applause for using the original artwork! Both the Arrow 2017 Ltd Ed and the 2017 Scream Factory releases had (IMO) awful cover artwork. I much prefer the original poster art 👍 I have the original poster in a frame pride of place on my living room wall :) There is a new commentary track by Joseph Aisenberg new to this release tho 👍I've read his book numerous times, so looking forward to hearing that!
Great review of an absolute horror classic buddy. I also loved William Katt from The Greatest American Hero and and the movie House a personal favorite horror/comedy from the 80s.
Have you seen House recently? I rewatched it early this year or late last year and it just doesn’t hold up for me anymore.
I bought the 4K steelbook of this and I love it! De Palma rules. And I agree, this is one of his best (right up there with Blow Out and Scarface for me).
Although Ken -- not to nitpick (too much 😆), but technically, Carrie was De Palma's 10th feature film, by my count on IMDB... not "one of his first." His first film was Murder a la Mod (which, incidentally, is included as a bonus feature on the Criterion Blow Out 4K release).
Just giving you a little shit, Ken. 🤣😉
Damn! Didn't realize. I need to dig into his entire filmography at some point. He's rapidly becoming one of my favorite directors.
@@midlevelmedia I've been the same way this year. Seems like this was the year for De Palma on 4K... I've always liked certain films of his, but this was the year I really started to get into De Palma's catalog a little deeper. Not everything he makes is solid gold, but he's definitely had his share of fantastic offerings. BTW Ken, if you liked Carrie, you'll probably also like "The Fury." It was a bit more under-the-radar, but it's a great De Palma film with a solid cast (Kirk Douglas, Amy Irving, Andrew Stevens). The story involves telekinesis and teenagers/young adults, somewhat like Carrie (although the story is different). I highly recommend seeing The Fury if you haven't already. Arrow has a good blu ray of it.

You should do a review of SLC Punk now that you have it.
I may do that in the New Year!
I love this Movie it's a great classic Horror Film the story of it great I also rate it 5 out of 5 to I'm most likely probably getting the Steelbook of it for Christmas I can't wait to watch The Movie in good Restoration Resolution picture quality it will be better then The Standard DVD and Blu Ray Release Of It it will be one of The Best Scream Factory Shout Factory Releases I own I definitely can't wait to own it
I wouldn't have put it in the category of perfect movies before this rewatch, but I really think it is.
Holy shit. I never thought about a neca for carrie. It is definitely a missed opportunity
For sure.
Ty for the review i bought carrie on 4k to .
Nice!
I just watched the 4K, I got the steelbook. Loved it. The prom scene was absolutely incredible.
My only gripe is that during the amazing overhead shot of Margaret White in the kitchen chopping the carrot, the disc glitched out and froze up. Going to watch it again and see if it was just a fluke or if the disc is faulty.
That issue never happened on mine. Funny, cause I actually mentioned that kitchen shot in the review, but cut it due to time. Amazing camera work.
@@midlevelmedia it's such a cool moment, I was like noooooooo! You did mention the shot commenting how clear everything was that you can really see all the kitchen stuff laying on the counter.
Have to give a HUGE shout out to Pino Donnagio for the amazing soundtrack - the music is absolutely beautiful and fits the whole feel of the movie!
You should compare the blu ray that comes with your 4k to the actual 4k to see if its worth upgrading over the 2016 collectors edition.
Carrie totally caught me off guard when I saw it. Not at all a slowburn IMO. Thought of it as a over the top dark comedy with some real horror moments and satire and drama. Abit of a mix that works and makes it a highly entertaining film. One of Brian De Palmas best (up there with Scarface) and perhaps even one of the best Stephen King adaptations. Keep up the good work!
It's so good!
The Dead Zone is my favourite Stephen King adaptation.
while i am One of those people who Does Not exactly enjoy too many Horror movies, i will say something good about this film's actress, Sissy spacek, and one of her co-stars , amy irving
these actresses after this movie, Have quite remarkable But quite seperate filmographies
but the film that spacek was in Much later, that also has Kevin costner, Jfk from 1991,
whereas amy irving, she was in a couple of Great choices, one is a childrens film that i enjoy called an american tail fievel goes west as the voice of miss kitty
and she also played Maude salinger in the 1984 film , Micki and maude, that is a great comedy
But as for my thoughts on this film ken
i think that its probably More of a drama rather than a Horror
mainly because the main character gets picked on by bad people
you see that in Newer films like Mean girls
But in a Much Lesser extent so that it isnt violent and too out of control
and its more geared to make people laugh with mean girls
with this, i think its kinda like a drama cause you do have empathy for the main character
But the problem is, the people that pick on her, are idiots
in a review i was reading for this movie , roger ebert had described this film and says that the main character "sits quietly, doesnt speak much, and is the Butt of jokes to classmates"
which is kinda stupid when you think about How much trouble the other people in the film cause trouble for the main person
and if these characters had made better choices, it probably wouldnt have turned out the way it did
Good review bro and I got the 4k steelbook and I like the steelbook and it looks good on 4k too bro and I hope that 2013 remake of Carrie gets on 4k since I like that remake bro and I like it better than the original movie but that just me though bro in my opinions but the original movie is still good I just prefer the remakes way better since I didn’t grew up with the original movie tho but it’s sure is a good classic though
Thank you man!
@@midlevelmedia you welcome bro anytime
I'm going to buy boat version of Carrie.
First book I read first movie I seen. Got steel haven’t watched extras yet
The extras are older, but great!
I've been a huge horror fan all my life, but for some reason, Carrie just never really connected for me. Back in the 90s, I picked up the Criterion laserdisc, mainly for the commentary track. It turned out the commentary was pretty dry and I haven't watched the movie since.
I'd give it a revisit. You may enjoy it more now?
@@midlevelmedia Possibly, but I actually remember it pretty well. I remember De Palma tried to make an anti-religion statement through the mother's character, which was a bit controversial at the time. Anyway, I might check it out again at some point. I actually like Body Double quite a bit more.
Not sure if I just missed it or not, but...
For those of us not quite set up for 4k just yet, how is the Blu-ray? Is it the new scan, or just a copy of the old Blu-ray? Thanks!!
Edit: Okay, so I see on second view that the Blu-ray is the same as the 2016 release. Bummer. Thanks for the video anyway.
Think I made a mistake there. Both bluray and 4K are new 2022 scans according to the packaging
@@midlevelmedia Thanks for the reply.
My bodies telekinetic properties don’t seem to be in working order. Will subscribe later
Jk already subscribed
😂😂😂
Stephen King had no faith in Carrie and threw it in thr garbage and his wife took it out of the garbage and sent it in to get publisher. And as we say the rest is history.
Ohhhh wow! Never knew that! Thank God for Tabitha.
He’s probably despise hearing me say this, but Stephen King is a lot like Donald Trump: Each of them is their own worst enemy.

I think you got some of your information wrong there...
"NEW 2022 4K Scan Of The Original Camera Negative" is what I have been reading. So, that means both the UHD and the Blu-ray have new scans from this year.
Maybe? Just assumed since 2016 was also a 4K Scan, that they would use the same bluray.
Not necessarily. I’ve seen several examples of 4K releases that have new 4K scans that aren’t also used for the included Blu-ray disc. It’s a pretty common and lazy discrepancy.
@@midlevelmedia It’s a safe assumption unless the case/site states specifically that the Blu-ray also makes use of that new 2022 scan.
@@SumDumGy Which is indeed what Shout!'s webstore states.
NEW 2022 4K Scan Of The Original Camera Negative
That's copied and pasted from Shout!'s site.
@@LanceLust1980HugeTheWarningFan Yes, you posted that already but, as I already posted as well, does it state that that new scan is on *both* discs?
Edit: I looked myself. It does say it. See? It wasn’t that hard to confirm.
Use my tell a ca what ❓🥴🤔🤪🤣 to move things. ❓
Carlito's Way (1993) is one of De Palma's best movies. The Fury (1978) and Snake Eyes (1998) are also very underrated De Palma films. All are highly recommended if you haven't seen them.
You just saw Scarface for the first time this year, at the age of 40. Are you kidding me??????????
That’s about the age I first saw it as well. Wasn’t a fan.
I saw it last year at 35. Is that better?
@@midlevelmedia No. It’s not. I don’t understand it. Maybe if you were in prison and just got out, then, perhaps, maybe.
@@johndough6623 Before a few years ago, I just stuck to the genres and films that I knew and enjoyed. Never branched out. This channel is about my discovery of new films through physical media. My name even suggests I'm no expert.
Why u not show the disc?? Thats wut we care about PACKAGING!! come on bra
That what I do in my videos i unboxed this on my channel since I got the 4k steelbook
I don’t need to see the disc. I can see the packaging just fine on the screen right now. A disc is just a disc.
Sorry. I usually do, must have forgot here.
@@midlevelmedia no worries bro it’s all good man
