Meanwhile a young woman, Gillian (Irving), begins to display her own psychic abilities and goes to live at a mysterious research facility.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cassavetes is a great villain.
