What is Zac Efron’s worst movie?
To find out, we have to go back two years. On June 1, 2022, Firestarter arrives in theaters and leaves the public on edge. With a score of 1.9 out of 5 (1063 ratings average), this Keith Thomas feature film is Zac Efron’s worst movie.
Based on Stephen King’s novel, the story follows Andy and Vicky. They have been constantly on the move for 10 years to escape a shadowy federal agency that is trying to capture their daughter Charlie. Indeed, he has an extraordinary faculty of pyrokinesis, which the Agency wants to use to develop weapons of mass destruction.
Andy taught his daughter to control the anger and pain that lead to her strength. But Charlie is now 11, and he’s finding it increasingly difficult to control his emotions – and therefore start fires. When the agency discovers where he and his parents live, a mysterious agent is sent on a mission to track down the family and capture Charlie. But the young girl is not going to allow it.
What do viewers think?
“If you’ve ever wanted to feel the pain equivalent of a third-degree burn on your genitals, here’s a new adaptation of Firestarter. The failure is complete, even going so far as to make the audience want to be pyromaniacs. The integrity of this production to a hopelessly inert thermostat.”RedArrow claims.
Acid causes “The film is not interesting except for the wonderful musical score John Carpenter. The rest is just an accumulation of clichés, a script without a soul in a production image. No atmosphere, no good actors… In short, not a single good movie.”
Mr. Cinetok is not kind to Firestarter either: “Simplistic dialogues, stupid characters, zero-level staging. Every action moment is wasted, the emotional heart of the story is forgotten, this movie is not that bad, it lacks passion.”
boring slow?
In turn, the Ranger will find the Firestarter “Soft, long and boringly slow. We can always go back to Zac Efron’s interpretation and Ryan Kira ArmstrongNot forgetting the soundtrack composed by John Carpenter. But other than that, there’s nothing else to save, damn waste of time. “
If the audience thinks Firestarter is a bad movie, they will still highlight the solid performances of Zac Efron and Ryan Kiera Armstrong and the music composed by the great John Carpenter, a legend of horror movies. If you want to make up your own mind, the work is available on Netflix.
