Mike Flanagan’s Carrie is here—but does Prime Video’s new adaptation live up to Stephen King’s novel and Brian De Palma’s 1976 classic?
In this full-spoiler review, we’re joined by guest host Ash vs Evil Bread to discuss Summer H. Howell’s Carrie, Samantha Sloyan’s Margaret, the series’ documentary-style interviews, Ralph White’s expanded role, and the major changes Flanagan makes to King’s story.
We also break down Sue Snell, Chris Hargensen, Miss Desjardin, the modern social-media setting, and whether this is the best Carrie adaptation since 1976.
Have you watched Carrie? Does Mike Flanagan’s version live up to the original—or should the story have stayed a movie?
