Get ready for a brand-new, blood-soaked coronation, because Prime Video is officially bringing Stephen King’s very first masterpiece, “Carrie,” back to life. This time, the telekinetic prom queen is under the meticulous care of modern horror maestro Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass).
