a pointless but exciting mishmash of action scenes and psychic effects, supported by a cast of reliable and attractive performers.

This more streamlined thriller about another telekinetic girl (Amy Irving) has few supporters, but it revealed further development in De Palma's storytelling skills.

The movie that draws the deepest line in the sand between De Palma apologists and De Palma maniacs.

An often overlooked De Palma effort. A highly entertaining supernatural thriller with a number of visually stunning set pieces and an unforgettably explosive finish.

One of De Palma's flawed-yet-fascinating early experiments.

De Palma's follow up to "Carrie." Look for Darryl Hannah in her first role.

Disappointing as a follow-up to Carrie, but not bad on its own.
