The Big Picture Carrie and Matilda are both famous and beloved films in their own right. Carrie is a staple in the horror genre and continues to influence modern horror films to this day. Meanwhile, Matilda is a beloved family movie, chock-full of charm that never gets old. On paper, you may not think these films could even be put in the same category. After all, they’re targeted towards drastically different audiences and are completely different genres.
Matilda’s family life isn’t much different. From the get-go, we see that Matilda’s parents didn’t care much for her and seemingly didn’t even want her. When they leave the hospital, they simply put her car seat in the back of the car without taking care to strap it in, leaving baby Matilda’s car seat to wildly roam around the car with every turn. And as she grows older, her family leaves her home alone when she’s merely a child.
Carrie and Matilda Both Have Cruel Bullies That They Defeat Close As mentioned, Carrie is bullied by her classmates. They call her names, they hit her with dodgeballs, and they plan horrifically intricate pranks on her. Carrie’s primary bully is Chris Hargensen . She’s the ringleader of the locker room incident, which lands her in detention with Miss Collins. However, her refusal to accept her punishment leads Miss Collins to ban her from attending the prom.
