Carrie key

Get ready for a date with horror, a living nightmare… Carrie White is often teased by her classmates, but she possesses a gift: the ability to move objects with the power of her mind. Doors lock, objects rise and fall, machinery short circuits... It's her strength – and her problem. As much as Carrie tries to act normal, an unexpected event will turn her hidden gift into a deadly weapon of terror and destruction that no one will forget.
