The story
After her father's sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.
What it’s like
Grief-heavy and sharply unsettling, with a slow-burn dread that builds through ordinary school corridors, cafeteria glare, and phone screens glowing in dim bedrooms. The mood is cold and tense, with warmth only in fleeting moments of connection. The tone is anxious and angry, and the pacing favors accumulating pressure over quick jolts, so it suits a late evening alone or a focused weekend binge rather than background viewing. The emotional register follows a grieving teenager pushed toward isolation and then toward something frightening inside herself, a path that is more about pain and belonging than spectacle. Intensity is high: bullying cruelty is constant and public, the household is abusive, religious zealotry adds menace, and the supernatural horror brings sudden, forceful violence whose graphic level is not confirmed here, so expect it to land hard. It is not gentle. It is for viewers who want psychological horror rooted in adolescent social cruelty and online humiliation, and who can handle sustained emotional harshness.
