Carrie

United States, 1976 / 98 Mins

Director: Brian De Palma

Starring: Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie

Carrie White is a lonely, withdrawn high-school student, ridiculed by her classmates and brought up almost in isolation by her fanatically religious mother. When Carrie experiences her first period in the gym shower, she is ruthlessly teased and humiliated by her fellow pupils, who are in turn severely punished by their teacher. Determined to seek revenge, the students hatch a plot against Carrie, which turns horribly wrong when Carrie's strange telekinetic powers are unleashed during the school prom.

No.6 is taking a brief intermission - re-opening scheduled for May 9th

Loyal regulars will be aware that we have had a few technical issues with some of our screenings recently. We have been working to resolve these, and have been pleased that our most recent showings, including lengthy films like Dune: Part 2 and Apocalypse Now, have worked okay. But we feel it’s unfair on you to be crossing our fingers and hoping, we’d rather get things sorted properly.

The plan is to close for the next two weeks and hopefully return on Thursday 9th May. Keep an eye on the No.6 website and newsletter for confirmation or otherwise, and of course to find out what we will be showing when we do return. Thanks to everyone for your patience and understanding.
