Mike Flanagan Promises His 'Carrie' Will Subvert All Your Expectations Mike Flanagan's upcoming series adaptation of Stephen King's "Carrie" is more than just a retread of familiar territory – it's a searing indictment of modern high school life, and a powerful exploration of what it means to be an outsider.
Known for his unflinching examination of the human psyche in shows like "The Haunting of Hill House", Flanagan has been vocal about the ways in which bullying has evolved over the past 50 years.
From traditional locker room taunts to online harassment, Flanagan's show will examine the darker side of adolescence.
