it’s a raw, haunting portrayal of adolescence, alienation, and awakening. Beneath its supernatural thrills lies a powerful subtext: the triumph, however tragic, of the bullied and the silenced. Carrie White’s journey from meek, repressed outsider to a force of nature is both terrifying and deeply cathartic. De Palma masterfully uses horror not only to scare but to symbolize the fury and freedom of a girl becoming a woman in a world that fears both.
