      D & K Y OMG takes the cake for worst movie behind Ssss. The acting is horrendous. There is zero character development. Charlie is a sad weak little whiner. 1/2 way through the movie and absolutely nothing has happened except short lame flashbacks. The music though is the worst. Like misplaced bad bg horror film tracks. Just. So. Bad Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/17/23 Full Review steve d It is an effective follow-up even if it is a bit too close to the original. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Rainbird died in the first film. When trying to make a sequel of a classic, too many years after the original release, at least try to follow the original storyline. Same as her parents deaths. And many other crappy non continuances throughout this badly scripted movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as good as the original, but still worth a TV or Netflix watch if it ever comes around. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Lousy script, lousy acting, changes to the original story line, everything about this story is a insult to anyone willing to sit through it. I lost brain cells watching it. It took my 5 whole minutes to realize that a monkey could have written a better script in crayon! I am not sure the writer had ever even seen the cult classic that was the original masterpiece. What kind of writer scripts a movie without ever touching the prequel to know what it is about. My only hope is that it is written without the consent of the origin. So enough was changed to separate it from the genre. But wouldn't that also be an insult too? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member cant wait to see it! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Worth it just to look at Moreau. Feb 2, 2018 Full Review Jenn Adams Bloody Disgusting It’s an intriguing premise and the story of an adult pyrokinetic with an ax to grind promises to be spectacular. Unfortunately Firestarter 2 is anything but. Despite a strong cast giving it their all, the series is a misfire in nearly every way. Rated: C- Feb 18, 2023 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed It may not be a masterpiece, but "Rekindled" is a fun genre film that expands the "Firestarter" lore... Feb 2, 2011 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Film Threat Though it lacks the energy of the first, it's an entertaining sequel with much more action and suspense. Rated: 3/5 Jul 13, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
