Firestarter
Regie Keith ThomasDas Mädchen Charlie verfügt über pyrokinetische Fähigkeiten. Dadurch ist sie in der Lage, nur mit der Kraft ihrer Gedanken Feuer zu entfachen. Zusammen mit ihrem Vater Andy und Mutter Vicky befindet sie sich schon fast ihr ganzes Leben auf der Flucht vor der Regierungsorganisation „Die Firma“. Nachdem diese von Charlies Kräften erfahren hat, soll das Kind nämlich für grauenhafte Laborversuche und die Herstellung von Waffen benutzt werden. Vor allem der gnadenlose Agent Rainbird hängt dem Trio an den Fersen. Je länger und gefährlicher sich die gnadenlose Flucht gestaltet, umso schwerer fällt es Charlie, ihre Fähigkeiten unter Kontrolle zu halten. Bald wird sie auch für ihre Familie zur permanenten Gefahr, die in wenigen Sekunden alles um sich herum in Flammen aufgehen lassen könnte.

Firestarter Rezensionen & Wertungen
- ricomckee22. Dezember 2025A pale and inferior remake in every way to the original. Even the special effects are just blah. The story lacks the emotional depth and bond between the father and daughter and the unhinged vengeance. If you are going to remake, do better. A story where maybe this was Drew’s daughter from the original…. But this was just Lifetime TV garbage.
- TexasWolf5. Januar 2025This is a good remake of the original, Ryan Kiera Armstrong did a great job as Charlie McGee and Zac Efron did a good job as her father. I recommend this to fans of the of the 1984 version.
- Eric Radosevich13. Oktober 2025Not as good as I remember the original, but still a good remake
- jackmeat2. September 2025My quick rating - 4.5/10. I was a big fan of the original with Drew Barrymore, so let's see how this one fares. And if you are also a fan, you will most likely want to stay away from this one. Even not comparing this one to a superior book and a decent adaptation to screen, this still wouldn't stand on its own very well. It seems anything that could have made this movie better was left out. How about explaining the family having these powers, maybe some flashbacks of the parents in college, explaining what happened? I know the book touched upon this, and it is crucial in making the story have more meaning. The whole thing, where there should be character interactions and development, is all just rushed and seems to be pushed aside for a few explosions and fireballs for the sake of grabbing attention. There are some good performances that are completely wasted (Zac Efron, who you know I am not a fan of actually does a great job for one) that could have made your interest in the plight of Charlie (our title character, Ryan Kiera Armstrong). Instead, they haphazardly direct her to make silly-looking faces at times and scream out fire. The character of local townsmen played by John Beasley is again wasted and swept away by fireballs. None of these interactions does any good in making you care how they got to where they are, which is being chased by some secret government branch for having some secret superpowers. It is quite sad that small parts of a book I read easily 30 years ago, I can still recall enough to know that leaving it out just lessened this flick. And comparing this to the 1984 movie is just not worth your time. In another world where those things don't exist, you would still be left with a mediocre horror/thriller that didn't even use the current technology to wow you with any effects. Even that was lackluster in this whole ordeal.
- Jindai23. Juli 2025Unmotivated writing, unclear motivations for Rainbird throughout the movie, just not good
- UniqueMovies Deb H20. Juli 2025This movie was not bad at all. Interesting how it ended because they left an opening where there can be a third firestarter!! I wonder if they're all related to Carrie White? 🤣🤪 Same type of power is going on in this movie as Carrie White in the carrie movie. When It was showing the scene where Charlie was in school, I was hoping that they were going to put a little bit of touch of Carrie in those scenes. Director Keith Thomas has expressed interest in expanding firestarter Universe, whether through a direct sequel Pre-Sequel or spin-off media!!✨🕊️✨🌺✨ Needless to say, this movie is definitely worth the watch ✨🕊️✨🌹✨
