This new Firestarter isn’t only a bad adaptation but is just an all-around bad movie. It’s sad to say but the 2022 version of Firestarter falls on the side of bad Stephen King adaptations. This then leads to the question, how does this movie hold up when looking at both the original film and other King adaptations?

They aren’t sure what the father and daughter are fleeing from, but welcome them into their home regardless, offering them beds and hot meals much needed resources for Charlie and Andy.
