YMMV / Firestarter (2022)

• Awesome Music: As with the 1984 version, the filmmakers hired a legendary figure in electronic music to score the film, this time none other than John Carpenter.
• Took the Bad Film Seriously: As bad as the film was, everyone agreed Ryan Kiera Armstrong delivered a great performance as Charlie, comparable to Drew Barrymore in the 1984 adaptation. The Golden Raspberry Award nominating her for Worst Actress was so controversial - although it also had to do with how nominating a child actor was viewed as tantramount to bullying - it ended up being rescinded.
