Carrie.

The film that inspired me the most image wise. Was the classic horror Carrie(1976 Brian De Palmer).  The film was inspired by the novel `Of The Same Name` By Stephen King.

The synopsis of the film is that Carrie is a bullied, abused,lonely teenager with telekinesis that she finds hard to control. Carrie is made to believe she is satanist;because she is bleeding from her period

. A nasty high school prank at prom where a popular boy takes her to prom and drains the blood out of a pig and throws it on her when she is crowned prom queen at school. This makes Carrie furious in result to being humiliated ;Carrie snaps in a cold rage, and telekinetically seals the exits. She then manipulates a fire hose and uses it to blast the student body with water. The water makes contact with the electrical wiring and ignites a fire that consumes the gym. Nearly all of the students and faculty, including Miss Collins, are killed. Chris and Billy witness the carnage from a high window. Carrie leaves the gym and walks home covered in blood. Chris and Billy attempt to run Carrie over with Billy's car, but Carrie telekinetically flips the car over and causes it to explode, killing both of them.

Carrie returns home and takes a bath to wash off the pig's blood, and puts on her nightgown. She encounters Margaret and breaks down in her arms. Margaret confesses to Carrie that she and her husband believed that sex was a sin and abstained from it, until he got drunk one night and raped her, which she actually enjoyed. This led to Carrie being conceived and her husband leaving them. She embraces Carrie as the two recite the Lord's Prayer together in peace. In the middle of the prayer, Margaret stabs Carrie in the back. Carrie falls down the stairs and is cornered in the kitchen by a crazed Margaret, who believes that killing Carrie will bring peace. Carrie defends herself by crucifying her mother in the kitchen doorway with numerous blades and knives into her hands, chest and abdomen. Overcome with grief, Carrie unhooks her mother just as she causes the house to collapse on the two of them, before ultimately burning to the ground.

I really like this film as I feel its a classic horror film. Where I can take elements from her virginal look, and her `mad` sort of look and design a modern, pop video culture look.
