The CinePearl Take
Firestarter is a 1980s English film that blends action, horror and science fiction — expect big set pieces and momentum and dread that builds toward its frights. Mark L. Lester directs and the script comes from Stanley Mann. Drew Snyder and Michael Aldridge are among the leads. Made in United States, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1984, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 114 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
