Firestarter(1984)
This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.
Firestarter has several moments when people watch explosions happen, and strobe effects are shown as they watch. There is an extended sequence in a thunderstorm, where the lightning effects range from mild to severe strobes. A few TV screens are shown, one of which strobes severely while a character plays video games.
At the beginning of the film, some of the camera work is handheld, with brief shots taking place inside moving vehicles. After the opening sequence, all of the camera work is either stationary or very smooth.
Flashing Lights: 9/10. Motion Sickness: 1/10.
TRIGGER WARNING: A Native American character is played by a white actor. A child feels personal guilt over the death of a parent. The same child is forcibly separated from the other parent.
