Aired on NBC just months after the success of CARRIE, this similarly themed tale of teenage telekinesis and witchcraft features a gripping performance from Lee Grant as a mother struggling to deal with the problems of her bullied fifteen-year-old daughter, Rita (Susan Myers), whose social isolation and unhappy family life lead her to lash out. When Rita’s rage cannot be contained any longer, a supernatural power inside of her takes over—and those who tormented her begin to die.
