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. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
