What do you get when you combine Stephen King, Marty Sheen, a mondo creepy George C. Scott plus a little post-E.T. Drew Barrymore? A hot time in the old town tonight, that's what! My pick was Stephen Kings retro classic(?) Firestarter!
I don't know, this movie was a kinda bad. But, it was bad in just the right way. Everyone involved was 100% committed and I was pretty curious as to where things were heading. It was not scary. It was not thrilling. But it had a certain something. And things got real crazy towards the end. I liked it. It was perfect for a do-it-yourself MST3K night. I kinda wanna read the book now. I also feel compelled to watch the TV sequel.
I give this 3 flames.
You can find my review of the book here.
