Warning: This post contains spoilers for the finale of Carrie, now streaming.
If you ever wished Stephen King's Carrie was actually a story about a telekinetic teenager getting whisked away from the violence and isolation of her sheltered small-town life to join a secret society of fellow psychic outcasts, then the ending of Prime Video's new eight-episode Carrie series may appeal to you. But if you were hoping for an adaptation that more meaningfully captures the tragic finality of King's 1974 novel, showrunner Mike Flanagan's open-ended take on the horror classic may leave you feeling a bit frustrated.

‘Carrie’ Star Samantha Sloyan Finds the Love Inside Horror’s Most Nefarious Mother
The 'Midnight Mass' alum explains how Mike Flanagan's Prime Video series rethinks Stephen King‘s notorious religious mother as a woman driven by fierce, frightened love: “She’s a real shoot-first, ask-questions-later kind of lady.”
[Warning: This story contains spoilers for Prime Video‘s Carrie series.]
Samantha Sloyan is aware of the distaste for some of her past characters.
Take Beverly “Bev” Keane, the zealous antagonist of Netflix’s horror miniseries Midnight Mass, who drew plenty of vitriol from viewers. Sloyan wears it as a badge of honor. “With Bev, people would be like, ‘I hated her so much. I hate you so much.’ But they had that reaction because it reminded them of something so personal, like a person,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “There’s an intimacy to that hate that I’ve found really meaningful. I’d love to know that people reacted strongly. Especially when it’s character-based. It’s harder to manage when they’re just like, ‘No, it’s your face, I hate your face,’ and you’re like, ‘Oh, OK.’ But when it’s about a character you played, I’m just so thrilled that they believed in that person.”
