Forgot Firestarter was coming to NowTV Cinema, so it was a nice surprise to finally sit down last night and find this movie ready for me to watch. So Naturally, I had to review it.

Firestarter Review Conclusion
I’d watch a second one: This movie felt like the first part in a series and I would happily watch the next one or two or three. I’ve never read the book so I have no comments on how it compares. I just enjoyed it as a movie and will probably watch it again because I definitely felt like I missed things. I did feel like I wanted more information about the experiments but that was part of what made me feel like there needed to be a second part. That and the way it ended. Loved the effects and the conflict between what they should do as parents to a little girl and responsible adults with a potentially dangerous child in their care that needs help controlling her gifts. As a stand alone movie it could have given more but I enjoyed the watch and would love to see another one to further Charlie’s story.
