Carrie is just trying to make a friend in the new trailer

Amazon released a new trailer for Mike Flanagan’s latest Stephen King adaptation, Carrie, ahead of its October 7 debut on Prime Video. The series appears to follow the familiar story while updating it with modern teen pressures like social media bullying and active shooter drills.

The remake reflects how classic horror properties are being reframed around contemporary anxieties to reach younger audiences. By incorporating input from real high schoolers, Flanagan’s version may lean harder into teen trauma than past adaptations while keeping the core supernatural revenge story intact.
