Description

Join us for our new monthly series Roxy Book Club! Which is better, the book or the movie? To find out, take the month to read this month’s selection, Stephen King's debut novel Carrie. We’ll have a discussion about the book and its adaptation after the film screening.

In this chilling adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel, withdrawn and sensitive teen Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) faces taunting from classmates at school and abuse from her fanatically pious mother (Piper Laurie) at home. When strange occurrences start happening around Carrie, she begins to suspect that she has supernatural powers. Invited to the prom by the empathetic Tommy Ross (William Katt), Carrie tries to let her guard down, but things eventually take a dark and violent turn.
