Anthony Tobia, psychiatry professor and practicing psychiatrist will introduce this screening and lead a discussion after the film.

Sissy Spacek plays Carrie, a ridiculed high school outcast who develops telekinetic powers. Sheltered by her domineering mother and constantly humiliated by her classmates, Carrie lets out her fury after the high school 'in crowd' torments her with a sick joke at the senior prom.
