10 MORE Horror Movies Where The Victim Is More Dangerous Than The Villain

In this Stephen King adaptation, a couple are experimented on by a secret government program called The Shop, in the hopes of endowing them superhuman abilities. When their daughter, Charlie, manifests powers, The Shop start hunting her, intending to turn the young girl into a weapon. 

This is easier said than done, since Charlie has pyrokinesis, meaning she can create and control fire. Not only that, her powers are fuelled by her emotions. Since kids have trouble controlling their emotions (especially while looking at the people who murdered their mother), it's no surprise that Charlie's rage and power is pretty much unlimited. What's worse is the more the government agents try to attack her, the more likely they'll piss her off, often resulting in them being reduced to cinders.

The Shop's mission seems doomed from the start, since they're ordered not to kill Charlie but to contain her. Since they're not using lethal force, Charlie has no problem taking her pursuers down again and again. Even when they do shoot at her, Charlie just melts the bullets in the blink of an eye.
