Sarah Goodwin: My first day here I saw you and I thought you were beautiful, but I was wrong. All you care about is how popular you are. Everybody gives you everything. You don't have to work at anything, like friendship. You don't care about how other people feel. All you give a damn about is how good you look! Well I'll tell you something, Jennifer. One day all these poor, stupid girls who laugh at your cruelty are going to see how ugly you really are. And they'll hate you! And they'll turn on you and you won't have any friends left at all!
[Walks off, leaving Jennifer totally humiliated in front of her friends]

Sure it's a "Carrie" clone but not bad

Shy withdrawn Sarah (Kay Lenz) and her sister start college. Her sister is outgoing and popular and gets into a popular sorority. Sarah gets into an unpopular one with creepy head Erica Hunter (Shelley Winters). Evil Jennifer Lawrence (Moragn Fairchild) hates Sarah and starts to torment her and her friends. Then Sarah realizes she has telekinetic powers and uses them for revenge.

The story is familiar, the special effects cheesy, the acting just OK (save Winters who REALLY chews the scenery) but this is an enjoyable made for TV movie. It's not as violent or sexist as "Carrie" so you can just sit back and enjoy it. This was a very popular hit when it first played on TV and was replayed again and again. It was even remade in 2006. Recommended--if you can find it.
