I Didn’t Think We Needed Another CARRIE... Then I Watched It

When Prime Video announced another adaptation of CARRIE, I was immediately skeptical. We already have an iconic 1976 film, multiple adaptations, and a story almost every horror fan knows by heart. What could another version possibly add? Now that I've watched all eight episodes of Mike Flanagan’s CARRIE, and ahead of the review embargo lifting, I wanted to talk about where I was coming from before watching it and why this adaptation had such a difficult job to win me over. My full spoiler-free review drops October 1. CARRIE premieres October 7 on Prime Video. #OverlyHonestReviews #Carrie #StephenKing #MikeFlanagan #PrimeVideo #Horror
