Wow! SCI-FI/Thriller classic from the old good 80s. Drew Barrymore showed brilliant acting. The same with David Keith and Martin Sheen. Drew was the best kid actor I've ever seen - way better than Macaulay Culkin, Elijah Wood and Dakota Fanning together.
I read the book and it's very good. I like rainbird 'cause he's insane xD but is the movie as good as the book? 'cause i'm planning to get it. answer please!
I saw the Movie before I read the Book.. Both the Movie and Book are awesome but I like the book a Bit better since the Character of Rainbird is way more Sinister..
After watching this movie..it is easy to see how many movies have copied the ideas. The bullets stopping-The Matrix, the fire-X-Men. This shit was classic.
sorry to burst your bubble, but x-men existed before this was written, so it really didnt copy. Also, Pyro couldnt create fire, he could only manipulate it.
The name of the sinister government agency was The Shop,I loved it when David Keith's character blinded the two agents who were kidnapping his daughter,You're Blind!!!
Wow stephen king is the best ?? becoz u know if its a stephen king movie or not just by its story line memmories ,nostalgia , friendship .....creates a terror out of the ORDINARY SIMPLE THINGS OF LIFE
I love a lot of movies and series, and other things my parents used to like(and im 14. My dad has showed me Patton, Where Eagles Dare, The great escape movies, and Hogans heroes from the 60s and 70s. He told me he watched it every saturday morning as a kid. i love the show. and this movie i love too, i think the ending is so sad, when her father dies, but im happy that she goes to the New York times at the end, and is adopted by the farmer. I love the show little house on the praire as well.
I loved this movie when I was a kid, but I was paranoid for years because my mom was a postal carrier and when Rainbird killed the mailman I got really upset and told my mom she was never allowed to stop and help anyone having "car trouble" on her route. Scarred for life I was by that scene!!
I am still haunted by this movie from my childhood. The part where they promise the girl that her dad is leaving from the facility is fucked up. This movie might be somewhat old, but the theme is still current and still very relevant. All sci-fi aside and in the realm of paranormal, government experiments are very real and that is why I live by the Philosophy of Jason Bourne.
Firestarter was my favorite movie as a kid Drew was so cute this movie, green mile, and misery, in my opinion are the only good king books that actually worked a a movie
That is what I mean some of his books are to complex to turn into movies they should stay books one example is it as well as needful things which was a great book but did not do too well as a movie
The book reads like Chris Claremont's writings for the Uncanny X-Men. Makes you kind of feel like you're a pyrokinetic yourself. If anything here, the soundtrack does the book and film justice.
god i haven't watched the movie, and i just started reading the novel. actually, i'm pretty much done with it, but i am truly thrilled by it, i want to finish the book first, before watching the movie, just to make some comparitions. i don't to have the same dissapointment as i had with the davinci code!!!
In order to get through Davinci code you have to read angels and demons first makes the second book more enjoyable and is langdons first adventure it's better too.
It is VERY good it is langdons first adventure Da vinci code is the 2nd it only became popular because of the controversy but angels and demons is better and makes you understand Langdon better. It also helps u understand that Davinci code is mostly fiction and clearly dan brown does not like the church or organized religion. has very believable info in that one is well but he tell you it's not real. It's about the Illumanati
i just bought this movie on DVD.The music was great,by Tangerine Dream.The sequel,with Marguerite Moreau,sucked ass! Follow the original story ppl! Rainbird DIED...she burnt his ass to a crisp!
This definetly has the look of a Dino De Laurentiis film. Also I never noticed the old guy talking about the end of the world is the same guy who played Thurfar Hawatt in DUNE another Dino De Laurentiis presents movie from the early 80's
Is the oldest version available anywhere??? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the music that is being played while George C Scott is talking about the power of the gods. The same music plays when he first comes to Charley disguised as a housekeeper and in the scene where Charley meets the horse Necromancer. Beautiful music.
oh f you... way to give away that they were both SHOT!! nice trailer but sheesh... it's a trailer no need to ruin it for me :( :( thanks for uploading all the same.
Great film, i saw it when i was 5 on video and is one of my fave Sci-fi horror films! does this movie remind anyone of the animated film "Akira"?

What is funny is that the movie Firestarter is very faithful to its source material. I don't understand why this movie wasn't more successful.
