Kay
Lenz, Shelley Winters, Morgan Fairchild, Tisa Farrow
One of the hottest MOTWs, this Carrie ripoff places two
sisters in the path of dueling sororities, with tragic consequences. Lenz’s
Sarah is not nearly as introverted as Carrie White, and her lashing out
at the popular kids after a nasty prank is incredibly tame next to, say,
wiping out the entire senior class at the prom, but the rest of the story
is intact, complete with bitchy blondes, sympathetic brunettes, and a crazy,
occult-obsessed matron with a sketchy past. Throw in some awesomely disaffected
sorority sisters (the PEDs are gloriously apathetic) and lots of feathered
hair (the AES girls are tweezed and lipglossed within an inch of their lives),
and you’ve got the makings of a wonderfully mean teen angst flick.
The last 30 minutes lose steam, but the first hour is first-rate. And how
can you not celebrate Moran Fairchild getting blown into a fountain in front
of her pledges?. |
