Chris Hargensen

"(to Carrie) You eat s***!"

- Chris Hargensen

"(to Miss Collins) THIS ISN'T OVER, THIS ISN'T OVER BY A LONG SHOT!"

- Chris Hargensen's famous quote.

Christine "Chris" Hargensen is the main, but later secondary antagonist of Carrie - she is the leader of several sadistic teenage girls who torment Carrie due to her being a social outcast, however, while other girls eventually begin to feel bad about abusing Carrie (or at the least wanted to let her be), Christine and her closest friends become increasingly more fixated on causing harm to her out of a geniune hatred and rage of her. She was promoted the main antagonist of the film, but this was a misinformation campaign to hide the film's true main villain. Ultimately, Christine accomplishes this with the help of her boyfriend Billy Nolan by playing a cruel prank on Carrie during the school prom, dropping a bucket of pig's blood over her - Christine and many others took delight in the scene but many other characters were horrified. However Carrie, in a maddened state, could no longer function and went insane - killing many students in an infamous massacre with her telekinetic powers. Christine has to watch in horror, because of the unforeseen consequences of the prank she enjoyed doing to Carrie and which killed her friends inside the gym.

Christine, now obsessed with killing her and finish what she started, is ultimately killed when she tried to run Carrie over with her car, only to have it thrown aside by Carrie's telekinetic power - which then blew the car apart with Christine and Billy Nolan still trapped inside it.

Chris Hargensen was portrayed by Nancy Allen in the original Carrie film and later played by Emilie de Ravin in the made-for-television remake.

Of course, in the made-for-television remake, Chris does appear to have small, limited, redeeming qualities, as when she sees how happy Carrie is to be prom queen, she feels incapable of pulling the prank, but Billy pressures her into it.

Chris was portrayed by Portia Doubleday in the 2013 remake. She is more of a social villian (shown when she uploads a video of Carrie being assaulted by tampons.) She is also shown to be less redeemable when she willingly slits a pig's throat, and commands Billy to run over Carrie with her car. Her death is slower and more confrontational with Carrie in the remake than in any other version, where she shows an obsession in wanting to kill her.
