Movie Haiku:Highly lauded adaptation of a Stephen King story in which a teenager with telekinetic powers (Spacek) exacts her revenge on her tormenters at the High School Prom. Looked at ~ 40 years on, this De Palma version is very Hitchcocky with homage moments (like the slow ascent up a staircase) & a score by Pino Donaggio that screams out love for Bernard Herrmann. Not yet seen by Rich.
