Zac Efron's Firestarter reboot gets burned in harsh first reviews
"The visual look honours the fiery chaos of the original story, though never quite impresses or dazzles. The narrative is tweaked just enough to initially feel fresh, yet it ultimately goes down a predictable path. Thislikely won't win over devout fans of the original movie or of the novel, but it does serve as a faithful tribute to King, moving along at an intense pace with a 94-minute run time.
"There's much to be desired when it comes to revisiting a King story that has already been brought to life, though for a generation who might be oblivious to Charlie's powers,"While it has a few genuine scares , it never achieves the deliriously freaky heights one expects from a film version of one of King's cheesier novels.
