2026 Carrie Mini-Series vs 1976 Carrie Movie: Did We Need Mike Flanagan’s Modern Take?

SPOILER ALERT

Jason and Rachel break down Mike Flanagan’s Carrie, the new modern reimagining of Stephen King’s classic horror story. Somehow we do eight hours of Carrie in under an hour.

We get into how the series updates Carrie White for 2026, the role of social media and smartphones in modern bullying, why the expanded runtime makes the characters much more complicated, and how Summer’s performance stacks up against Sissy Spacek’s iconic version.
