Comment
Sissy Spascek is a young girl with telekinetic powers who gets her revenge on the other students after being bullied at school. A good translation on to film of the Steven King novel.
Piper Laurie gives a good performance as the mother with the extreme religious views. Strangely you feel for the murderer and the blood is not part of killings and is more symbolic.
