"A modest but effective shock-suspense drama about a pubescent girl, her evangelical mother and cruel schoolmates."

—

Variety

"Brian De Palma transcends the pulpy horror feel by emphasising the awakening-sexuality metaphor, and using some glorious trickery."

—

Total Film

"It is sometimes funny in a puzzling kind of way, it is generally overwrought in an irritating kind of way, and once in a while it is inappropriately touching."

—

The New York Times

"An absolutely spellbinding horror movie, with a shock at the end that's the best thing along those lines since the shark leaped aboard in Jaws."

—

Roger Ebert

"The reason Carrie is still held in such high regard as a horror classic is very simple: it's all in the sheer directorial bravado. De Palma at the top of his game."
