Do we really need a new version of Carrie? That's the question that plagues any attempt to reimagine the classic horror tale. Stephen King's 1974 novel remains one of his most iconic, and the film version from Brian De Palma and Sissy Spacek two years later remains unsurpassed, despite a handful adaptations that followed in the ensuing decades. Any new iteration of the story bears the burden of proving why it needs to exist in the first place. Mike Flanagan's new Carrie series on Prime Video man
