It IS bad.

I think it's the best thing DePalma's ever done. The way he ties in his obsessions with voyeurism and technology and thrillers and humor...Travolta gives a great performance, and as it is pointed out in the film, Nancy Allen has a "great scream."I personally think DePalma has shot great sequences, but I don't know if he has directed a great film since 1981 and "Blow Out."
as exciting and chilling as any of the Master's (Hitch, of course).
I am not a Palma specialist but this one did not my love, it was some how amateurish I found back then, but it is long ago...Carry was nicer.
When "Carrie" came out, Pauline Kael reviewed it in the New Yorker. She said it would probably be DePalma's first big hit because it was his first film with "heart."Because my wife and I were in high school the year it came out(1976), seeing "Carrie" is a little like opening a yearbook for us. The clothes, the shoes, the hair! And I love the pop song DePalma uses in the background during Carrie's big slow dance "I Never Knew Someone Like You Could Love Someone Like Me." Really takes me back!
I'd better watch out or I'll get nostalgic for the Seventies!
