King’s Carrie
By P.I. Barrington
Hands down the best adaptation of of King's work is Brian DePalma's film of Carrie. Not only did it capture all of the images, dialogue, action, and effects, it brought those to life for those of us who read it when the book came and we all saw the same things reading and watching the film. The ONLY thing wrong with it was the miscasting of Sissy Spacek. Carrie was specifically described as overweight and oafish and Spacek was a stick figure and also had a Southern accent. I didn't even mind the film's surprise ending which was different from the book's ending. I've always said that a great writer can make almost all his/her readers see the same exact images. JMHO.
