Story Synopsis:
Based upon Stephen King’s novel, Carrie is the mesmerizing horror film that stars Sissy Spacek in her Oscar® nominated role as the tortured teenager, Carrie White. Known to some as “Creepy” Carrie, she is the butt of all jokes by her peers. But Carrie has telekinesis—the power to manipulate objects without touching them—and when a group of vicious teens make her the victim of a ruthless prank at the senior prom, Carrie unleashes revenge that causes all hell to break loose, taking you to the very depths of horror.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture, hard matted at 1.85:1, exhibits slightly oversaturated and undefined interior colors, but fidelity is generally natural throughout. Images are wanting in sharpness and detail, sometimes exhibiting an extremely soft focus. Contrast and shadow detail are mediocre throughout. Slight noise and artifacts are apparent.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital discrete 5.1 is the preferred soundtrack, projecting dramatic aggressive split surround energy towards the end of the film. Dialogue generally sounds natural, but other sound elements are monaural with hum and background hiss.
