The two were married and had a daughter, Charlie, who has the ability to start fires by merely thinking about it, also knownpyrokinesis. Naturally, the government takes a great interest in Charlie, and operatives from the secret department known"The Shop" want to quarantine and study her.
I have mixed feelings about this film. And when you think of the Stephen King projects that have become films…that's pretty mixed, too. A few have been very good. A few awful. And others somewhere in between. And that's where this one stands…in between.<br/><br/>First off, you have the special effects. Considering this was made 30 years ago, they're darned good. So that gets an A.<br/><br/>Then there's the cast…notable cast. David Keiththe dad…well, he was okay. Drew Barrymorethe firestarter…stunning, and only 9 years old when this was made! Freddie Jonesone of the scientists with a little bit of conscience was interesting…as longhe lasted. A young Heather Locklear does what she does best…looks beautiful. Martin Sheenthe head of the project was quite good. George C. Scott…well, I'm a pretty big fan of him…but I wasn't that impressed with him here…and I can't think of the last time I said that! Art Carney is fun to watch here. As is Louise Fletcher. Moses Gunn…an actor I had forgotten about; good to see him again, hereone of the scientists.<br/><br/>In terms of the script. Well, not too bad, not great. The problem with the story is that you already know what the ending of the film is going to be – a prepubescent Carrie-like fiery finale. So the question is, will the director make getting there interesting. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Some good dialog, some dialog that almost made me laugh out loud.<br/><br/>So, it's sort of a draw. Not bad, not great, just in between. Worth a watch to see Drew Barrymore and the special effects.
Good special effects and a great cast make this film above-average,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)
A good, stylish mixture of the kind of hokey horror and science-fiction elements in which Mr. King specializes.
Nine-year-old Charlene "Charlie" McGee (<a href="/name/nm0000106/">Drew Barrymore</a>) has the ability to start fires with her mind thanks to an experiment in which her parents were given a chemical called LOT-6 when they were in college. The experiments were conducted by a secret governmental organization knownthe "Shop", and the Shop is super interested in studying Charlie's ability for usea military weapon. When they go so farto kill Charlie's mother to get at Charlie, her father Andy (<a href="/name/nm0001418/">David Keith</a>), who has the ability to influence minds, takes Charlie on the run. Not to be deterred, the Shop sends "exterminator" John Rainbird (<a href="/name/nm0001715/">George C. Scott</a>) to apprehend and bring them in, at any cost. Firestarter (1980) was written by American horror novelist Stephen King. The novel was adapted for the movie by Canadian-born screenwriter Stanley Mann. Firestarter was followed by a made-for-TV sequel, <a href="/title/tt0297120/">Firestarter 2: Rekindled (2002)</a> (2002). In the novel, Dr. Wanless (<a href="/name/nm0428086/">Freddie Jones</a>) describes Lot Six"a synthetic copy of a pituitary extract, a powerful painkiller-hallucinogen that we did not understand then and that we don't understand now." One thing they do know, he says, is that "Lot Six somehow changed the physical composition of the pituitary glands of those who participated in the experiment" and that "Lot Six was responsible in some way for the occasional flashes of psi ability that nearly all human beings demonstrate from time to time." According to the novel, the Shop is really the Department of Scientific Intelligence. They claim to be involved in domestic scientific projects related to national security, e.g., electromagnetic energy and fusion power, but they're also conducting secret experiments on people with certain parapsychological abilities that might be usefulweapons. Andy forces Captain Hollister (<a href="/name/nm0000640/">Martin Sheen</a>) to get a message to Charlie, telling her to meet him in the stables at 8 PM. Charlie shares this good news with her friend John. When Andy and Charlie meet in the stables, John is already there, hiding in the loft. Charlie is glad when she finds that John is there, but Andy has been warned by Hollister that it was John who shot them and who has been tricking Charlie to cooperate. Charlie threatens to burn down the stables, but John warns that she'll kill the horses, so she backs off. Charlie begins to climb up to the loft but Andy pulls her down. He then forces John to jump, but John shoots Andy in the shoulderhe lands. He then turns the gun on Charlie, but she burns bullet, gun, and John. With his dying breath, Andy tells Charlie to burn down the Shop so that they can't do anything like this again. As the barn begins to flame, Charlie frees the horses and heads outside where she sends fireball after fireball, burning everything cars, helicopters, and buildings. Shop agents try shooting her, but Charlie burns the bullets before they even reach her. When the entire compound is on fire, Charlie walks away, saying, "For you, Daddy." In the final scene, Charlie arrives at the Manders' farm. Norma (<a href="/name/nm0001221/">Louise Fletcher</a>) takes Charlie into her arms and Irv (<a href="/name/nm0138770/">Art Carney</a>) is shown accompanying Charlie into the New York Times building, presumably to go public with her story. No. This is one movie in which Stephen King does not have a cameo.
