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!
