Zach Pope reviews CARRIE, Mike Flanagan’s new Prime Video series adapting Stephen King’s iconic horror novel — and I genuinely think this may be the BEST version of Carrie we have ever gotten. I did NOT think we needed this. Another Carrie adaptation? Again? Brian De Palma’s original film is one of the most iconic horror movies ever made. Carrie White’s story has been adapted multiple times. We all know where this story eventually goes. And somehow Mike Flanagan found a reason for CARRIE to exist again. Not only that? He came DAMN close to making a masterpiece. Prime Video’s CARRIE follows Summer H. Howell as Carrie White, a sheltered teenager whose entire life changes after the sudden death of her father forces her into public high school. Carrie wants what nearly every teenager wants. Friends. Acceptance. A chance to fit in. Instead, she enters an environment filled with cruelty, bullying, humiliation and the constant pressure of social media. And as all of that begin
