• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: What is wrong with you?
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: Carrie trailer high school was the real horror.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: Hey everyone, it's Kilbert K here.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to my channel.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: If you find out the girl everyone is bullying can move things with her mind, be nice.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need a school assembly.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need to say good morning, Carrie.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_00: I saved your seat and bowled that seat to the floor.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: Mike Flanagan has a new Carrie series coming to Prime Video, and somebody apparently looked at this story and said, What if we gave the bullies Wi-Fi?
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: Wonderful, that was the missing ingredient.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_00: Broadband.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back everybody.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Gilbert K.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_00: Today we're breaking down the Carrie trailer, Stephen King's famous nightmare and a school where the emergency exit should be the most popular student.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: If you're new to Carrie, here's the idea: a sheltered girl, a controlling mother, cruel classmates, and the power to move things with her mind.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: Now, do we need another Carrie?
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: Hollywood keeps bringing this girl back like she owes them money.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: Let her graduate, give her a quiet apartment, a house plant, a job, actually, maybe no office job.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: Somebody writes her last email and the printer goes through a window.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: But Mike Flanagan's name gets my attention.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: He's behind The Hunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: He's also adapted Stephen King with Gerald's Game and Doctor's Sleep.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: His horror often makes you care about someone before it scares you.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: You sit down thinking, let's see a ghost.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: An hour later, you're thinking about your childhood.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: I came here to fear a cupboard.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: Why am I processing my relationship with my father?
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: That approach makes me sense for Carrie.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: We need to care about this girl, otherwise, we're watching furniture attack people.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: In this version, Carrie has grown up hidden away at home.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: Her father's death pushes her into public school.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: Imagine barely knowing the outside world, and your introduction is a classroom full of teenagers that's learning to swim in a shark tank while wearing a sandwich.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: Who planned this?
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: Does she understand social rules?
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: Does she have support?
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Unclear.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: Can she move objects with her brain?
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: We'll circle back.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: I've worked in project management, you don't circle back to that.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: It goes at the top of the risk report in red.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: Potential impact, the report catches fire.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: The trailer opens with Carrie entering classroom and being mocked.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: She hasn't done anything.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: She shows up, looks different, and that's enough.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: What makes this uncomfortable is that Carrie wants friends.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: And that's all.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: She wants someone to be happy.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: She walked into the room.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: Summer Howell plays Carrie and the trailer gives us a glimpse of hope alongside the fear.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: That matters to me.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: When she starts enjoying herself, I want to believe it.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: I want to see the life she could have had.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: Because the happy moments make the danger hurt more.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: You're watching her relax, and part of you wants to climb into the screen.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: Lovely potty, Carrie.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: Now get your coat.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: We're leaving.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: Here's a fun fact: Amazon says more than a thousand actors read for this role.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: More than a thousand.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: I get tired choosing a movie.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: They had to choose someone to carry Carrie.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: The biggest update in social media, the trailer shows classmates filming Carrie's panic during a deeply personal moment and putting it online.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: Someone needs help.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: Someone else sees content that feels like a strong reason to revisit the story.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: The cruelty can follow her home, she can leave the school without escaping the audience.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: And before adults say teeners are terrible, we invented the comments section.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: We don't get to act surprised.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: A grown person with a sunset profile picture will write the nastiest thing you've ever read.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: A sunset, your photo says in her piece.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Your typing says someone should unplug your router.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: The old nightmare was that the school knew.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: The modern nightmare is that strangers know.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: Someone can watch the worst moment of your life while waiting for a cappuccino.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: Then rate it.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: That's frightening without anything supernatural happening.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: Although these classmates are taking a huge risk filming a girl who can move their phones.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: Why is my tripod floating?
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's trying to get away from your personality.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: Then we have Carrie's mother, Margaret, played by Samantha Sloyan.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: This relationship gives the trailer another kind of pressure.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: School is cruel, home is controlling.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: Where does Carrie breathe?
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: Where can she ask a simple question without someone making her afraid of the answer?
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not interested in how Sloyan handles that control.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Someone can believe they're protecting you while making your word smaller.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: If the series gets that relationship right, a quiet conversation could be as scary as anything flying across the room.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: I also want a sensible adult at the school, just one.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: Someone who hears about bullying and does something before booking a follow-up meeting.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: Matthew Lear plays Principal Grail.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: Amber Midhunter plays Miss Desjardins.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: Matthew Lillard as a principal is a fascinating choice.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: I know him from Scream as Cooby-Doo.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: My brain is already expecting him to pull off a mask off the school caretaker.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: Meanwhile, Amber Midhunter faced a predator in prey.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Now she gets dealing with teenagers.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: I would ask for a predator back.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: At least it doesn't start a group called No Offense and spend six hours being offensive.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about Carrie's power.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Telekinesis means moving things with your mind.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: I understand why that's scary, but I live in Toronto.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: My first thought is practical.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Could she move my car out of traffic?
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: Bring over my coffee, find me a parking space.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: The real test would be staying calm when someone stops at the top of an escalator.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: That person would be gently relocated to another floor.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: But in Carrie, those powers sit beside feelings she's struggling to understand.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: That's where the tension should come from.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: I want the series to connect the supernatural moments to what she's experiencing.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: The trailer also includes emergency calls and flashes of physical danger.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: Doesn't just things become much worse, although quick trailer cuts don't tell us exactly how those moments connect.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'm curious about the buildup, and yes, I want the horror to deliver.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'll take the feeling, I'll take the character work, but eventually that Jim needs to make me regret watching with the lights off.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: Eight episodes give the story room.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: It also gives me a question: can it use that room well?
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: More time could mean stronger friendships, a deeper home life, and a better look at the people who join in or look away.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: It could show all the moments when someone might have helped.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: That interests me.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: What I don't want is seven episodes of people announcing that something bad might happen.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: We know it's Carrie.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody's expecting the big event to be successful, big sale.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: The trailer also gives us Carrie on stage at a school dance wearing a crown.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: If you know the earlier versions, that image means something.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't, I'm leaving the famous ending alone.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: But as a filmmaker and producer, I see the crowded gym and immediately think about insurance.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Gilbert, isn't her dress lovely?
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: Where's the fire marshal?
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: That's where I'm in life.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm watching supernatural horror and asking who checked the rigging?
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: Here's another fact.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: Carrie was Stevens King's first published novel in 1974.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: Brian De Palma's famous movie followed in 1976.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: 50 years later, with improved cameras and streaming.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: Apparently, we're still working on being kind to the quiet girl.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: So my verdict on a trailer, I'm interested, the social media angle gives the humiliation a wider reach.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: Carrie's hope gives the story someone to care about.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: And Flanagan's approach makes sense for this material.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: The series still has to earn those eight episodes.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: But the trailer gives me a reason to show up.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: All eight arrive on Prime Video on October 7th.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: You can say just one episode.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: Then suddenly it's two in the morning and you're eating bread in the kitchen.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: No toast, bread.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: The toaster made a noise, you've had enough surprises.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: Tell me in the comments, does Michael Flanagan make another carry worth watching?
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: And which version do you remember most?
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: And remember, if the quiet girl makes you chair move, don't ask her to do it again for TikTok.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: Offer her a cappuccino.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Say thank you and update the emergency plan.
