"Firestarter" is hot. It's not only that the 1984 classic has been given the Blumhouse Productions remake treatment, out in theatres and streaming on Peacock, but the beloved '80s ensemble "Stranger Things," which seems heavily influenced by the Stephen King story, returns to Netflix this month.
"Firestarter" was one of star Drew Barrymore's first films, after "E.T.," and it helped launch her career. Nominated for her first Golden Globe that year for her performance in "Irreconcilable Differences," she was 7 years old at the time.
