Summary: Andrew and Vicky McGee met while earning money as guinea pigs for an experiment at college. The experiment was shrouded in suspicion and mystery, and seemed to be related to psychic abilities. The two were married and had a daughter Charile, who has the ability to start fires by merely thinking about it. Naturally, the government takes a great interest in Charlie, and operatives from the secret department known as "The Shop" want to quarrantine and study her. (imdb)

Isn's Drew cute? She makes this movie very watchable but not my favorite of King adaptations.

I thought Barrymore and Keith did a pretty good job. Not the strongest King book but this translates pretty well comparatively.

I remember it vaguely. It's about average Stephen King fare, not terrible but not really worthwhile either.

(Disclaimer: This is an admittedly biased review, because Firestarter is one of my favorite King books) No, it's not on the same level as some of the best King adaptations (The Shining, Carrie, Misery), but it's firmly in the second tier for me with films like Christine/Pet Sematary/Cujo. There's plenty of cornball dialogue and a shitty 80s score, but the relationship between the two main characters is convincing enough, and the supporting cast (C.Scott and Sheen mostly) are damn good.

The acting in this 80's horror flick was much worser than previous I saw lately (Cat's Eye). The story kind of work somehow till the half of the movie, but the latter part was pure pain. The story and pacing was lost for good.

Crap film, but Barrymore turns in a pretty good performance. With this and E.T., she acted better as a child. Weird...

A decent film, thanks mostly to good performances by Drew Barrymore and David Keith as the leads, and phenomenal supporting performances by George C Scott and Martin Sheen. The film really depends upon the relationship between Charlie and her father, as well as how she views the other adults. In this case, while it didn't have the depth of book, the actors realized enough of these themes to where the movie is interesting and engaging for the viewer. Appropriately sad ending.

It wasn't one of my favorite King books and it wasn't a very good movie either. All the characters were extremely shallow and that's funny considering King's best asset as an author is character development. Rainbird, who was very well written in the novel, is a pretty intricate character who has odd motivations but you don't understand them at all in the movie and he just seems useless. Barrymore was just plain annoying. You're better off watching a different King adaptation.
