Stephen King Movie Marathon: Carrie (1976)
Review: So I decided to do a Stephen King Movie Marathon in 2024. It’ll probably take me a lot of months and I might not be able to see/find all the movies/miniseries but I’ll do my best… and where better to start than at the beginning: with Carrie! Carrie was King’s first novel, he almost…

Synopsis: A wealthy recluse hosts four accomplished guests at his stylish mansion for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but their intrigue soon turns into terror.
