Carrie

Can Carrie White simultaneously be the hero and the monster? The clues lie in what has been jettisoned in an otherwise faithful adaptation from page to screen. By removing the conventional protagonist, the adaptation takes on ominous new implications and truly becomes a Brian De Palma film. 

This is true horror: alienating someone until they are somewhere between human and animal, fighting to survive, un-buffered by the comforts of others.
