Carrie: Difference between revisions

* [[Crucified Hero Shot|Crucified Villain Shot]]: In the movie: {{spoiler|Carrie's mother}}, in her final shot, impaled with steak knives in the style of the St. Sebastian figurine in the confessional.

** And like Saint Sebastian, she experiences religious ecstasy during her death. Saint Sebastian, who according to legend was a very handsome young man, is something of an unofficial sex symbol in the Catholic Church (especially among closeted gay men). {{spoiler|The movie uses this to show how Carrie's mother has literally channeled her sex drive into religious devotion - or in this case, Saint Sebastian}}.

* [[Deadly Prank]]: It ends up being this for almost the entire high school. In the remake, Tommy is killed when the bucket falls on his head before Carrie's revenge even starts; in the book (and possibly the movie), he's only knocked unconscious, but dies with the rest of the students in the fire.

** It should also be noted that in the book, Carrie not only killed her school but went on a rampage through her town, killing almost everyone who lived there.
