Review of Firestarter (2022)

By Nobilis1984 (91) on 13 May 2022

Even worse than the original from the 80s. Firestarter from the 80s was already a weak film, only the actors could save it…

Review of Firestarter (2022)

By Katie Rife (451) for Polygon (677) on 13 May 2022

Firestarter 2022 is a marginal improvement on the ’84 original, if only because it has a handful of redeeming qualities rather than virtually…

Review of Firestarter (2022)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Empire (3,446) on 13 May 2022

Only a thrilling throwback synth score from John Carpenter keeps this inferior, modernised take on Firestarter off the lower end of a list…

Review of Firestarter (2022)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for The Guardian (2,969) on 13 May 2022

No one here seems to know what they’re doing and, more importantly, why. A strong contender for 2022’s most pointless movie…
