The TVI Take
Brian De Palma's 1976 first major Stephen King adaptation — the film that established the modern horror-novel-to-screen pipeline. Sissy Spacek's title performance is rare horror-leading-actress work whose religious-abuse-survivor character architecture the film takes seriously rather than treats as horror premise.
The prom-massacre split-screen finale is canonical De Palma formalism.
