Review of Firestarter (2022) by Ferdosa Abdi for Screen Rant — 16 May 2022
Sadly, this adaptation fails to stand out from all the other sci-fi horrors about people being used for experiments. It doesn't even compare to the original 1984 film nor does it stand tall alongside great recent Stephen King adaptations like 2017's IT and 2019's Doctor Sleep.
Firestarter is more like Pet Sematary and Carrie, a dull, exhausting remake that doesn't do anything new.
