Mike Flanagan's King Adaptation Repeats Carrie's Mistakes

Mike Flanagan, fresh off acclaimed horror work like The Fall of the House of Usher and his foray into comics with the Clayface screenplay, is reportedly making the same critical errors that tanked the original Carrie adaptation. The article suggests his new Stephen King project is falling into a familiar trap that plagued earlier King adaptations. Flanagan's track record is solid, but this particular project seems to be walking a dangerous path creatively. It's worth noting that even experienced horror directors can stumble when translating King's source material.
