What happens in Carrie from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In the gripping opening scene of Carrie, set in 1995, we find ourselves inside the sorrowful White household, where a desperate Margaret White (Julianne Moore) is heard crying out in pain. The camera captures the upstairs floor where Margaret wrestles with her anguish, her cries directed toward God. The scene pans to a Bible marred by blood droplets and a water puddle, a striking contrast to her agony. In a torment of confusion and agony, she believes she is suffering from cancer, all while writhing on her bed, awaiting death.
