Carrie White, the protagonist of Stephen King's Carrie, exemplifies a new kind of antiheroine who unleashes destruction rather than merely surviving terror, challenging societal norms.
The horror genre showcases a range of female characters, but the emergence of the demonic teen girl reflects the struggles of girlhood and societal oppression, particularly through supernatural means.
Cody's reexamination of this character type highlights the destructive capability of teenage girls, shifting the narrative from victimhood to empowerment by depicting them as forces of change.
Horror films often portray women in distress, yet Carrie's story subverts this trope by presenting a young woman who harnesses her supernatural powers to wrest control from oppressive forces.
