I'm making a plea for all humanity here:<br/><br/>STEPHEN KING - STOP LETTING YOUR BOOKS GET MADE INTO MOVIES!<br/><br/>Every once in a while, the right elements are there and you have a classic on your hands ("The Shining", "Carrie", "Stand by Me") but if you were to make a web page about all the BAD movies based on Stephen King movies, you'd better hope your server supplies enough gigabytes.<br/><br/>And right up there in the top ten baddies, you'll find "Firestarter", another great book made bad by the director of "Roller Boogie" with featured parts for the guy who hung himself in "An Officer and a Gentleman", General Patton, Captain Willard from "Apocalypse Now", Huggy Bear from TV's "Starsky and Hutch", Ed Norton, Nurse Ratched, the lady cop from TV's "T.J. Hooker"….<br/><br/>But let's not forget Drew: oh my gosh, what is she doing here? This poor lady has had a rough life thrown at her from early on. She had to wait a few years until she got the really plum parts given to her but look at what she had to do in the meantime. <br/><br/>The story itself - a company, who tests drugs on people to see if their mental powers can be increased, hunts down a man (Keith) whose daughter (Barrymore) has combustible powers. The special FX are there and there's enough talent available to make you ask "why????". A question you'll ask yourself more than once if you watch this.<br/><br/>Not very memorable. In fact, the only people who would no doubt remember this are the ones involved, who will spend the rest of their lives trying to forget "Firestarter" ever happened.<br/><br/>More power to them.<br/><br/>One star, for Drew. As for the rest - burn, baby, burn.
Tangerine Dream's Haunting Soundtrack gave this movie the chilling aura it contains today. X-File(ish), yes. Notgood, no. Before young men could obsess with Gillian Anderson and her portrayalDana Scully and notice her mystery solving ability, only Stephen King could possibly simulate one of many possible Government Cover-ups so Top Secret, that like the mystery surrounded "Area 51", it couldn't exist.<br/><br/>This movie was one of the best in Secret (Biological, if you will) Weapons Conspiracy stories ever adapted from a King novel. It also gave Drew Barrymore A good benefit before her life almost went downhill. The most chilling character of all would have to be John Rainbird (George C. Scott). Just seeing George with the ponytail and eye patch scared the living S**t out of me when I first saw the flick (At 9 yrs).<br/><br/>A few years later in High school (18 yrs) I revisited Firestarter not just for the effect that amazed me at 9 yrs, but the story became clear why they wanted Charlie for study. Almost an "AKIRA-LIKE" situation. King's work in this movie could have been a breaking ground for "AKIRA" itself. It also displayed how a movie could show us, "What The Governments Never Tell You". But If I hear one opening strand of T.D.'s score or see Rainbird, I'll still be horrifed just like I still am to this day when I see another King screen adaption directed by the late Stanley Kubrick.
The most astonishing thing in the movie, however, is how boring it is.
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.
