Okay finished watching the original Carrie for the first time in my life. I knew it was gonna be heavy but like.... holy shit. I really didn’t expect it to have the same impact on me it had tonight. Start to finish I was totally enthralled.

#I absolutely Feel Carrie White #that was one of those movies that is beyond just being a movie #it was a full on immersive experience #was not a single scene I didn’t like #even the ‘funny’ parts with the jocks and asshole students #everything was out on for context #and I’m so shocked by how it subverted my expectations #I thought it would be gratuitous and unpleasant #but it wound up being.... just right #just the right kind of explanatory #just the right kind of poignant #everything seemed to happen for a reason regardless of what the budget might have allowed for #and they did it in such a way that it felt purposeful and emotional and I’m just #shocked?? #idk it’s wild to me since I expect a lot of 70’s horror to be either gross or boring #but it was absolutely captivating and very VERY queer in today’s context #I loved it every single moment of this movie
