The definitive release of Brian De Palma's 1976 horror classic!

Introducing Arrow Films' UHD 4K Limited Edition release for Carrie. In 1974, Stephen King published his first novel, the story of Carrie White, a troubled young girl, bullied by her peers and daughter to a fanatical fundamentalist mother, who discovers she has telekinetic powers. In 1976, it became the first of his works to be adapted for the big screen and, to this day, remains one of the very best.

Carrie marked Brian De Palma's arrival as a major director, following smaller cult films such as Sisters, Phantom of the Paradise and Obsession, and provided a key early role for Sissy Spacek (Badlands), one that would earn her a Best Actress nomination at the Academy Awards®. Piper Laurie would also pick up a nomination as Carrie's mother, while future stars such as Amy Irving, John Travolta and Nancy Allen were given their first major parts in a big-screen production. Restored in 4K from the original negative, this collector's edition provides the definitive release of a horror classic.

PLEASE READ: Arrow included an extra "outer" thin slip case (on top of the rigid slip case) for this release. So it basically has a slip case on top of a slip case (yes, it's weird!). The extra outer slip case is extremely prone to small, superficial dents/bends, so any slight denting you see in the tiny corners are perfectly normal (and can't be avoided) – of course, this should not affect the inner rigid slip case.
