"I don't know why people don't like this movie but for me personal this movie is awesome, Drew Barrymore perfomance is perfect, David Keith perfomance is amazing too, George C. Scott is oscar worthy here, i enjoy every moment, it's incredible, and there's an interesting things in here is the way David Keith character use his power is same like eleven from Stranger Things, i don't know if Stranger Things inspired by how David Keith character use his power but it's same, the moment he use his mind power his nose will bleeding, overall this movie is awesome and unboring quite long movie, highly recommended"

Good special effects and a great cast make this film above-average, as Stephen King adaptations go (well, it's certainly better than "Maximum Overdrive"). The story may be a bit predictable, partly because King had visited similar territory before ("Carrie", anyone?), but you have to admire the way the film puts you into the action right from the start, omitting any slow introductions, and George C.Scott is such a strong, perverse and eccentric villain that you can't help watching him. (**1/2)

If you thought that "Carrie" made incredible use of conflagrations, you ain't seen nothing yet! In Stephen King's other combustion-themed story, "Firestarter" portrays the daughter (Drew Barrymore) of a experimental guinea pig (David Keith) using her ignition abilities to get her way. When the government kidnaps her and her father, things really get ugly. On one level, this movie seems a little preachy, with the shadowy agents going after the man and his daughter. But I would call that an accurate depiction of things. And you gotta agree with what the girl does, no matter how extreme she gets (and I'm talking really extreme). So I definitely recommend this movie. But if you're a pyromaniac, don't let this movie encourage you. Also starring Heather Locklear, Martin Sheen, George C. Scott, Art Carney and Louise Fletcher.
