Horrormeister Mike Flanagan returns to Vancouver to prep his latest Stephen King adaption — a new Carrie series for Amazon Prime Video.
Unpopular at school and subjected to her mother’s religious fanaticism at home, Carrie White does not have it easy. But while she may be picked on by her classmates, she has a gift she’s kept secret since she was a little girl: she can move things with her mind.
Doors lock. Candles fall. Her ability has been both a power and a problem. And when she finds herself the recipient of a sudden act of kindness, Carrie feels like she’s finally been given a chance to be normal. She hopes that the nightmare of her classmates’ vicious taunts is over . . . but an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror so destructive that the town may never recover.
Thrilled to be back in Vancouver! – Mike Flanagan on Instagram.
The Salem-born writer-director-producer’s first Stephen King adaption was a sequel to The Shining called Doctor Sleep, followed by Gerald’s Game and the next film adaption could be The Dark Tower.
Much of Flanagan’s mainstream success comes from his string of hit Netflix horror-with-empathy series — from The Haunting of Hill House to The Haunting of Bly Manor to Midnight Mass to the Edgar Allen Poe mashup The Fall of the House of Usher.
All of Flanagan’s Netflix horror series filmed in Vancouver, with the exception of The Haunting of Hill House.
