For more than a decade, parents Andy and Vicky have been on the run, desperate to hide their daughter Charlie from a shadowy federal agency that wants to harness her unprecedented gift for creating fire into a weapon of mass destruction. Andy has taught Charlie how to defuse her power, which is triggered by anger or pain. But as Charlie turns 11, the fire becomes harder and harder to control. After an incident reveals the family's location, a mysterious operative is deployed to hunt down the family and seize Charlie once and for all. Charlie has other plans.

the score from John Carpenter is the only redeeming quality graphic animal abuse/death - TIMESTAMP 38:52-40:21

A decent coming-of-age drama horror with excellent lead performances. To be honest I didn't enjoy the original adaptation at all. I thought it was uninteresting and overlong, so I went into this re-adaptation expecting it to be at least slightly better and that's what I got. It's more of a drama with horror elements in it. Definitely not scary but it delivers the chills that you usually get from most Stephen King films, thanks to the Carpenter score. It also improves on everything the original did wrong. The characters seem to stick out more and the emotional parts work really well. The technical aspects are great as well, the effects in particular are well made. Give it a try.

I don't understand all the bad reviews for this movie, I really enjoyed it. The climax in the original was more grandiose, but otherwise everything about this remake is a vast improvement. Zac Efron is very out of place as the father, but the father in the original was a lot more out of place. I bought the father/daughter relationship in this version, I never did in the original. This is nothing like the original really, it's on a different level. I have a feeling this will end up on several listicles of underrated movies in the future, probably even from the same sites that trashed it when it came out. It's no masterpiece, but I really enjoyed it.

Possibly mild spoilers!

I have to say that I'm extremely puzzled regarding the review scores for this film. What were they watching? Can't have been this, that's for sure. (Because I know best)

I know a lot of people probably won't agree but I loved almost every minute of it with a few except More

He might look good in a white T-shirt but the thing is, as Zac Efron gets older he looks more and more like an automaton. When he was younger, he had a charm about him - now he just looks like his life consists of nothing but the gym, the manscapists and a bath in yesterday's excess kale smoothie mi More

Eh, just another pointless remake/re-adaptation, although I don't mind it since the 1984 version wasn't great either. Nothing terrible but not anything special either. Performances were bland and not even the pyrotechnics weren't all that impressive. I guess it's fine to watch for free on Peakcock P More

Add it to the “passible movies that are adaptations of Stephen King novels” pile, which is getting concerning-ly large.
Regardless, I got to see the NOPE trailer on the big screen!
