Blumhouse reignites Firestarter with this explosive adaptation of the classic Stephen King thriller. Protected by her parents, Charlie has lived her childhood on the run and has kept her extraordinary pyrokinetic powers in check. But now that she's turning 11, the flames are harder to control, and sinister forces are seeking to capture her. Charlie must learn to embrace the fire from within and fight to control it in order to protect her family and freedom.

REVIEW:

I'm a big Stephen King fan.

I'm a fan of the original Firestarter too.

Seeing this movie, I went into it with as little of expectations as I could, but to be fair, Blumhouse is my favorite horror director.

I thought as a whole it was a great movie. The beginning was a little slow, but once it took off that was it. The ending was pretty intense and was probably the best part!

I love Charlie!! She's smart, powerful and protective of the ones she loves!

It was a great addition to the original as it takes you from the past into today. So that might be weird, since the original was in 1984, but you forget about that fast and fall into the storyline.

This will be one of those movies that some love and others will not.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
