Carrie First Reaction: Mike Flanagan Gives New Life To Stephen King’s Classic Horror Story [TIFF]

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

Hardcore Stephen King fans were understandably skeptical when it was announced that Mike Flanagan would be developing yet another adaptation of the 1974 novel Carrie. After all, just two years later, in 1976, Brian De Palma directed the very first Carrie adaptation, which went down as one of the very best horror films of the decade. Combating that pessimism is the track record of Mike Flanagan, who has made a name for himself as one of the most capable horror filmmakers working today, with titles like The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, and The Life of Chuck.
