Directed by Lee Philips. Written by Brian Taggert. Starring Susan Myers, Lee Grant, Lelia Goldoni and Helen Hunt.
Plot: a TV ripoff of Carrie. Sort of.
This film was made one year about Carrie was released and so much like it, it’s gotten a pretty bad reputation and been swept under the rug. And we can see why. The girl in it, like Carrie, is telekinetic, but unlike Carrie, she is rude, spiteful and psychotic from the jump. Her mother actually loves her and she doesn’t give a shit. It’s very hard to feel sorry for her just because she’s overweight. She even had a father in this that we liked.
There is literally a “chant off” in this movie – like a dance off, but with chanting. The “twist” is not that twisty and we weren’t surprised AT ALL. There’s all this cheery sunshine music throughout the movie that doesn’t fit in anywhere. It would have fit better in an episode of Little House on the Prairie. Also, the ending was bullshit.
It’s unoriginal. Rules were never established. And the script was bad. We cannot and will not recommend.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
