A pseudo sequel to the 1984 film, _Firestarter 2: Rekindled_ is a fascinating new chapter of horror. Now in her twenties, Charlie McGee is pursued once again by a secret organization that's conducting psychic research, and she must face off against a new generation of telekinetics that have been bread to be weapons. Marguerite Moreau gives a good performance as Charlie, and there are some impressive supporting performances by Malcolm McDowell and Dennis Hopper. However, the special effects are rather weak, and the sets look cheap. Additionally, there are pacing issues that cause the film to drag at times. Yet despite a few production problems, _Firestarter 2: Rekindled_ is an entertaining thriller that continues the exciting story that Stephen King began.
