Like Children of the Corn, Firestarter is based on a work by Stephen King and features a young girl turning on the adults in her life. Nine-year-old Drew Barrymore is the star of the film as Charlie, who has the ability to start fires with her mind.
While it is classified as a horror movie, Charlie isn't a typical villain. Her powers are the result of an experiment that her parents participated in before she was born, and though she is eventually forced to use them, she doesn't do so for the sake of chaos. In many ways, Charlie is a victim of circumstances beyond her control, and if anyone loves a complex villain, it's Ryan Murphy.
