KB B Somehow I never watched this one. I remember people talking about it but finally just watched it. It actually held up pretty well but would have been shocking 46 yrs ago. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Jeff M Had I not known better, I would have sworn this had to be based on a Stephen King novel! It feels like a perfect integration of CARRIE and FIRESTARTER. But the screenplay and the book on which it is based were written by John Farris. I find the topics of telekinesis and psychic phenomena and that sort of thing absolutely fascinating. The aforementioned CARRIE may be my favorite horror movie of all time. And during the middle sections of this film, I was halfway enthusiastic. However, it takes a good 45 minutes in the beginning to pick up steam, and the last 10-15 minutes are nothing short of horrendous. This is one of the worst endings to a movie ever. I personally would have liked to see Douglas' role excised (it's basically a glorified supporting performance) and see the focus shifted more to Irving and Andrew Stevens, who plays Robin. If crying and widening your eyes are an art form, then Irving is Picasso here. One of the pleasures for me was the quintessential 70s cast with many familiar faces. Look for small parts by Daryl Hannah and THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS' Melody Thomas Scott. But this is among my least favorite of DePalma's films - maybe THE least favorite of what I've seen thus far. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Alec B De Palma makes the extremely silly screenplay work, emphasizing violent set-pieces over the tedious psychobabble. Also, I appreciate a movie that knows exactly when it should end. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Steve D Never seems to focus on a protagonist so it never develops any of them. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/14/23 Full Review M S A really bad knockoff of Carrie. Amy Irving just couldn't reproduce Sissy Spacek's performance. And not one of Douglas's better films, but we all have to have wrecks in our lives. Why De Palma would want to do what is essentially the same film twice is beyond me. Don't waste your time, watch Carrie instead. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review steve m Great start to the movie, but slowly died to a government conspiracy movie. Lots of big movie stars, too bad they didn't have better material to work with. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
