Firestarter remakes an average Stephen King adaptation into a flat and lifeless film. A truncated plot follows the 1984 original's storyline to a befuddling conclusion. I was frankly stunned by a significant change that makes no sense whatsoever. Firestarter has a second act that drags mercilessly. The characters bounce back from tragedy like ping pong balls. The pyrotechnic effects and gruesome make-up keep the horror elements in focus. It's a slight reprieve from the plot's choppy nature. Stephen King fans are left out in the cold here.
