FIRESTARTER (2022) Reviews of Stephen King sci-fi horror reboot

  

“The score deserved a movie that knew how to use it more effectively and with tighter visual language. Everything here is close-up, boring coverage in flatly written dialogue scenes, and the action is even worse. It’s often hard to decipher what the hell is happening when things are supposed to be getting intense and director Keith Thomas does a miserable job with geography…” RogerEbert.com
