Firestarter

Firestarter (1984)
Dir: Mark L. Lester

A father and daughter with special abilities go on the run from a secret government agency.
Overlong thriller, based on a Stephen King story, that could have benefited from being shorter and a bit less predictable. It fails to be scary or thrilling and the middle of the film really drags. The acting isn't great and apart from an ending borrowed from King's own 'Carrie', it's not worth the time.
