Mike Flanagan's Carrie Adaptation Channels His Netflix Success

Mike Flanagan's tackling Stephen King's Carrie for Prime Video, and the project's already standing out from every previous adaptation (and yeah, there have been several). The official trailer premiered at San Diego Comic-Con with footage that signals Flanagan's borrowing heavily from his best Netflix work—basically his signature style of character-driven horror with genuine emotional weight. An October 7 release date is locked in, so we're not waiting long. If it lands, this could finally give King's debut novel the adaptation it deserves instead of relying on jump scares or CGI spectacle.
