Subscribe FreeFast-paced and filled with great special effects and performances, Firestarter is a twisted and suspenseful horror movie. Based on Stephen King’s best-selling novel, eight year old Charlie McGee (Drew Barrymore) has the capability to start fires by merely thinking about it. Sometimes she can control her thoughts, but dangerously, sometimes she can’t. Her loving father Andrew (David Keith), who also possesses special powers, tries his best to comfort and protect her, while a sinister government agent (George C. Scott) sees the potential to use her as a weapon, or destroy her.
