Films Similar to Ours Number 3--- Carrie



Carrie is American author Stephen King's first published novel, released in 1974. It revolves around the eponymous Carrie, a shy high-school girl, who uses her newly discovered telekinetic powers to exact revenge on those who tease her. King has commented that he finds the work to be "raw" and "with a surprising power to hurt and horrify." It is one of the most frequently banned books in United States schools.Much of the book is written in an epistolary structure, through newspaper clippings, magazine articles, letters, and excerpts from books.
Several adaptations of Carrie have been released, including a 1976 feature film, a 1988 Broadway musical, a 1999 feature film sequel, and a 2002 television movie.

Although originally a book Carrie was later turned into a film and shares many similarities to are story. Firstly she is bullied at school becasue she is different to everyone else similar to our film. and she gets revenge on those who bullied her like in our film. Of all the things that are similar to ours this one shres the closest likeness i believe.
