20 Worst Movies Of 2022 (So Far)

20. Firestarter

Let's face it - few among us were asking for another adaptation of Stephen King's Firestarter, and this low-effort, low-energy take didn't exactly change many people's minds.

Despite solid performances from Zac Efron and Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Firestarter 2022 can't ever decide what type of film it wants to be, in turn failing to satisfy as either a heightened family drama or quasi-superhero movie.

While better paced than the 1984 Drew Barrymore-starring film, it suffers massively with its lacklustre villains and shockingly cheap finale.

After two dud adaptations of King's novel, surely the lesson here is that some things just weren't meant to be translated from page to screen.
