- This is a thriller about a child who has the amazing ability of pyrokinesis, and her father, who also has the ability make people do what he wants. A secret government agency known as "The Shop" led by Captain Hollister and John Rainbird plot to kidnap the duo for testing their abilities. Can this power and the love of her father stop this sinister agency before all hell breaks loose?
- Andy McGee met his future wife Vicky while they were earning money by participating in an experiment in which they were given a dose of a chemical called LOT-6, while they were in college. Andy and Vicky went on to get married and they now have a nine-year-old daughter named Charlene "Charlie" McGee, who has the ability to start fires at will (pyrokinesis) as a result of the experiment that Andy and Vicky participated in. The experiment also gave Andy the ability to make people do what he wants. A secret government department known as "The Shop" did the experiment, and now The Shop, run by Doctor Joseph Wanless, has been pursuing Andy and Charlie, even killing Vicky in order to get her out of the way. Wanless and his organization want to study Andy and Charlie, then kill them, and The Shop has sent a sniper named John Rainbird to find Andy and Charlie. What Wanless and his group underestimate is what Andy and Charlie are willing to do to protect each other.
- Charlene McGee is the child of two people involved in an experimental drug test, and has the unique ability to start fires just with the power of her mind. She and her father are on the run from The Shop, a shady government organisation seeking to harness Charlie's pyrokinesis for their own nefarious ends. How can they escape ?<br/><br/>I like this movie a lot, but will admit that the concept is a bit crazy (and kinda similar to author Stephen King's earlier Carrie) - it's the type of film where if you're willing to go with the flow, there's a lot of fun to be had with plot twists, wacky characters and action. If you don't buy it, back to reality TV with you. I think the main reason I enjoy it is down to the cast. Keith is terrific in the straight-arrow role of the protective Dad (unusual in a King story, where fathers are usually demonic), Sheen is a cagey bureaucrat, Jones does his mad scientist bit, Carney is a nice guy farmer - when a Shop operative tells him they don't need a warrant to be on his land he memorably quips, "You do unless I woke up in Russia this morning." - and Gunn is a nervously grinning sawbones. Best of all is Scott in a flashy part as über-assassin Rainbird, a mad one-eyed Indian with an unhealthy interest in Charlie - he makes it into my (large) gallery of favourite screen villains. Eight-year-old Barrymore is iconic in the lead, perhaps not the most naturalistic child performer, but the image of her blonde hair blowing back as she goes flame-on is pretty stylish. Couple that with a great eighties electronic score by Tangerine Dream and a director who knows how to handle action well and the result is some great set-pieces, particularly the fiery finale as Charlie literally burns down The Shop. Anything involving fire is probably the most difficult and dangerous type of stuntwork to bring off well, and the various amazing shots here are courtesy of veteran action-man/first assistant director Glenn Randall Jr. Made at the height of King's bestselling days (seven major movies of his stories were released between 1983 and 1985), this isn't the best of his books but the movie is a straightforward adaptation and solid entertainment throughout. Followed by a made-for-cable sequel in 2002 - instead of that, try to catch the King short-story movie Cat's Eye, made a year after this by many of the same crew.
- Firestarter starts as Andrew McGee (David Keith) & his young daughter Charlene (Drew Barrymore) escape the clutches of some federal agent type guy's, you see a shadowy Governemt organisation called 'The Shop' conducted some experiments on Andrew & Charlene's mother Victoria (Heather Locklear) who then got together, had sex & ended up with Charlene who as a result of the experiments is a pyrokinetic & can start fires by just thinking about it. Now the evil guy's & gal's who run The Shop want Andrew for his own telekinetic abilities & Charlene for hers, Andrew knows they want to conduct experiments on himself & Charlene for their own evil purposes & is determined not to let The Shop get hold of them...<br/><br/>Directed by Mark L. Lester & adapted from the Stephen King novel of the same name Firestarter is fairly mean spirited but watchable horror/thriller. The script by Stanley Mann which takes itself very seriously is at it's most enjoyable during it's first half when Andrew & Charlene are on the run which is when it is pretty interesting & relatively absorbing, unfortunately the second half of the film switches gears completely & it becomes evil scientists vs. Charlene & lets face it there was only ever going to be one winner. I'm not happy about the long sequences of Charlene making people burn to death, I'm sorry but I felt no sympathy for her as a character & the scenes of these people burning, whether they had done anything to her or not, were pretty strong & Lester certainly likes to dwell on their pain & the screams they make as they burn. I usually love exploitation & the nastier the better but these parts in Firestarter just didn't sit well we me at all & thought they were gratuitous & unnecessary. The character's aren't great, the dialogue is OK & I didn't really see why they wanted to capture Andrew & Charlene so badly, I mean whose bright idea was it to suggest they could control her anyway? Ultimately what did they intend to do with her? It moves along at a reasonable pace & isn't too boring but I doubt I'd want to watch it anytime again soon.<br/><br/>Director Lester does a good job, the suitably fiery climax is pretty brutal as Charlene dishes out some swift & severe punishment. Apparently Lester replaced John Carpenter who was originally set to direct but after the critical & financial failure of The Thing (1982), which coincidently is one of the biggest travesty's in cinematic history, the money men at Universal 'removed' him from the project. I wouldn't call it scary, it's not particularly creepy or exciting either but it does have a certain sinister atmosphere. There are some strong scenes of people being set on fire & burning to death here, the special effects do a great job perhaps even too great a job as they come across as excessive. Forget about any gore or violence as there isn't any.<br/><br/>Shot in North Carolina & boasting a very healthy sounding budget of about $15,000,000 Firestarter has a very slick & professional look about it, it's well made with impressive fire effects & it has high production values. There's a surprisingly good cast here, Martin Sheen who took over from Burt Lancaster at short notice, Drew Barrymore who was riding high on the success of E.T. (1982), coincidently E.T. was the reason why The Thing bombed at the box-office, George C. Scott complete with comedy eye-patch & Heather Locklear are all probably recognisable to the average film-goer.<br/><br/>Firestarter is a decent enough time waster, it's an OK Stephen King adaptation, it has a good cast & some impressive fire effects but as a whole it's average with a predictable & lightweight story that ultimately goes nowhere. Followed by the made-for-TV sequel Firestarter II: Rekindled (2002) which brings the villain John Rainbird back from the dead somehow...
- 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 known as the "Shop", and the Shop is super interested in studying Charlie's ability for use as a military weapon. When they go so far as to 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 as "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 useful as weapons. 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 shoulder as he 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. a5c7b9f00b
