Firestarter (2022)
Directed by Keith Thomas this film based on the novel of the same name stars Zac Efron, Ryan Kiera Armstrong and Sydney Lemmon. A family go on the run from the government to protect their daughter with pyrokenetic powers.
I have not seen the previous adaptation so I have no idea how this film compares however this is a pretty weak effort taken on its own merits. The protagonist never really has a proper character arc which is the main problem. You can see hints of the familiar Stephen King style in the plot but the film never makes the most of them.
2/5
