This horror film is based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. It was made in 1984, directed by Mark L. Lester and stars includes Drew Barrymore, David Keith and Martin Sheen.
A girl named Charlie has pyrokinesis, a form of psyhic gift that controls and creates fire. However, Charlie and her dad are both living in fear of a sinister group called The Shop, who experimented on people years before. Charlie's parents were once subjects of the scientific experiments, resulting in psychic abilities. This is an adventure sci-fi more than horror.
Fun Facts: The character of Charlie was inspired by Stephen King's own daughter. Before the film was ever made, the mother of actress Drew Barrymore has said the illustration on the front cover of the book, featuring Charlie, looked like her daughter. Instead of special effects, there were real fires used.
Info: There is going to be a remake of "Firestarter".
Warning: People who love horses will panic.
Rating by Blood Strawberry: 8/10
