Geschichte
Carrie White, a withdrawn and sensitive teenage girl, suffers from abuse at home by her fanatically religious mother, Margaret. At school, she faces relentless taunting from her classmates, who humiliate her in front of the entire senior class during a locker room shower after gym class by throwing tampons at her, believing that she is menstruating for the first time. This cruel incident causes Carrie to become enraged and locked into an emotional state, triggering strange supernatural occurrences around her. When she later discovers that she possesses telekinetic powers, Carrie decides to use them to exact revenge on those who have wronged her.
