A brother and sister on spring break from college decide to take the scenic route home--an endless desolate stretch of road through central Florida. Along the way they are run off the road by a strange truck and later they see its driver disposing of what looks like a human body down a drainpipe near an old church. Derry Justin Long convinces his older sister Trish Gina Phillips that they have to investigate and despite all better judgement they do. That's just the beginning of this wild horror film directed by Victor Salva POWDER. Salva keeps the audience guessing by never settling into any particular style or formula. The film veers gleefully in all directions referencing such classics as NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and even THE TERMINATOR along the body-strewn way. There is no shortage of clever humor amid the shocks gross-outs and nail-biting suspense and Phillips and Long exhibit a refreshingly believable brother-sister rapport. The supporting cast includes Patri

Brian De Palma's commercial breakout based on a novel by Stephen King helped launch a whole slew of teen-based horror films and Carrie the blood-spattered prom queen has taken her throne in the pantheon of modern American myth. High school girls played by Amy Irving in her film debut P.J. Soles and Nancy Allen plot to avenge themselves on ostracized fellow student and budding telekinetic Carrie White Sissy Spacek after they get in trouble for pelting her with tampons. When they get popular boy Tommy Ross William Katz to be her date for the prom the stage is set for some heart-rending cruelty and fiery retribution. De Palma expertly uses split screens slow motion color filters and tracking shots to imbue the proceedings with a haunting allegorical elegance. Piper Laurie plays Carrie's mentally ill devoutly Christian mom; she's brilliant as is Spacek. John Travolta has a memorable pre-SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER role as one of the girls' beer-guzzling boyfriends. There was finally a sequel in 1999 as well as a short-l
