“The worst part – is that I really could’ve been your friend.” Prime Video has revealed the first look teaser trailer for the new horror series Carrie, once again adapting the Stephen King novel of the same name. This new series hails for horror mastermind Mike Flanagan, who is directing & writing & producing this as his next creation following his recent movie The Life of Chuck. “She just wanted a friend. They gave her a fight.” A shy girl with telekinetic powers is bullied, leading to a horrific, bloody incident at her high school due to her domineering mother’s influence. Told over eight propulsive episodes in this new take, the series expands King’s cultural landmark — deepening its characters & tensions, and following the small, everyday choices that build up toward a single, shattering night, in this gripping, deeply human story about kindness versus cruelty, and whether we’re witnessing the making of a hero, a monster, or something far more complicated. Starring newcomer Summer H. Howell as the young Carrie, with Samantha Sloyan, Siena Agudong, Alison Thornton, Joel Oulette, Josie Totah, Arthur Conti, Thalia Dudek, Amber Midthunder, and Matthew Lillard.
