TV Review: Stephen King's 'Carrie' on Amazon Prime Video – There Will Be Blood!

 

I've just finished watching the eight episodes of Stephen King's Carrie on Amazon Prime – and, I promise you, there will be blood. Anyone who has seen the 1976 film with Sissy Spacek will remember all that blood, but there is so much more to the story that is compelling and intriguing. 

Carrie and her mother - it's complicated!

In eight hours – as opposed to a film one hour and 38 minutes long

“Almost is a damn ugly word.”
― Victor Lana, Love in the Time of the Coronavirus

“Nodding and smiling broadly again he says, “I’m am so fortunate to have you as my editor, Vinny. You understand the heart of the book.” “The heart?” I ask. “Yes, I believe each book is an entity, like a living person. I am a cardiologist, so I feel the heart is everything for a person, and so it is for a book. If you put your ear on it, you should hear it beating and then you grasp its essence.”
― Victor Lana, Love in the Time of the Coronavirus

“The only thing you can take with you is that which you have given away. — Frank Capra”
― Victor Lana

“The only thing you can take with you is that which you have given away. — Frank Capra”
― Victor Lana

“The hard part about writing a novel is finishing it.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“But he immediately felt he did not really want to take that step. It would lead him back, give his soul back to himself; but when one is frantic, the last thing one desires is to be oneself again.”
― Thomas Mann, Death in Venice
