Tough film to review and watch.Released in 1984 and running 114 minutes,it's very dated and the acting is uneven.B and C actors thrown together in a early movie based on a Steven King story.The plot is also kinda uneven but engrossing when you allow it to get to the basics of a father and daughter and those who exploit them.Thats why I took 1 and 1/2 star off.The standout acting is the young girl,Drew Barrymore and the really crazy Government bad guy,George C. Scott.I did enjoy it but I realize its outdated for the younger crowd.A period piece for sure.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary is below.Look for a TOO small role by the great Freedie Jones
Andrew and Vicky McGee met while earning money as guinea pigs for an experiment at college. The experiment was shrouded in suspicion and mystery, and seemed to be related to psychic abilities. The two were married and had a daughter Charile, who has the ability to start fires by merely thinking about it. Naturally, the government takes a great interest in Charlie, and operatives from the secret department known as "The Shop" want to quarrantine and study her.
