Review – Firestarter 2: Rekindled

IMDb doesn’t have much on this production, but based on the fades in and out and the nearly three hours of running time, I’m betting this was originally designed to play as a TV miniseries. Still, it works reasonably well as a movie. Charlie the pyrokinetic kid from the original has grown to young adulthood, still trying to control her incendiary tendencies and still running from the sinister government agents who want to exploit her powers. This time the bad guys have a boarding school full of boys with various psychic talents, all raised without moral restraint on the use of their gifts. Mildly amusing
