Prime Video’s ‘Carrie’ Review: Mike Flanagan’s Brilliant Adaptation
Prime Video's new television adaptation of Stephen King's 'Carrie,' helmed by horror maestro Mike Flanagan, successfully reimagines the classic tale for the modern era. Set in the present day, the series stars Summer H. Howell as Carrie White, capturing both the innocence and the harrowing struggles of the iconic character as she navigates high school. Flanagan's eight-episode series infuses the narrative with contemporary themes, including social media toxicity and religious zealotry. By honoring both King's original novel and Brian De Palma's acclaimed 1976 film, the show delivers a fresh, fearless take that ultimately grants its young female characters unprecedented agency.
