FireStarter

Here we go folks, another from the the Stephen King stable of cult.

Plot: Young girl (Drew Barrymore) and her daddy are on the run from government agents in the 1980's, the little girls mummy been killed by said suited fellas. Turns out our 'in the wind' pair have had a few experiments conducted upon them, daddy can make you do whatever he fancies (though he gets a bugger of a nose bleed each time) and wee Drew can turn ya into a smouldering pile of corpse with her heat/fire power, thing.

Well worth checking out for a very young Martin Sheen as the head of the covert agency (the shop) and Oscar winner George C. Scott as the demented army bloke. Also starring a young Heather Locklear.

Budget: $13,000,000

Gross: $17,080,167

Fun Fact: There's a sequel called, unsurprisingly, Firestarter 2-Rekindled.
