Fire Syndrome (1990)

Fire Syndrome: Directed by Tobe Hooper. With Brad Dourif, Cynthia Bain, Jon Cypher, William Prince. A young man finds out that his parents had been used in an atomic-weapons experiment shortly before he was born, and that the results have had some unexpected effects on him.

“Righty right. Hereu0026#39;s a bit about SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION: the government is trying to engineer the perfect weapon for war. It fails, and the project is supposedly buried. Years later, however, a young college student by the name of David (Sam), is finding out slowly that he is something more than human. So, he intends to find out just what he is, and a path of destruction and fire is left in his wake. Now, I can see why this has been called Tobe Hooperu0026#39;s only failure at a movie, but it is a gem. But, the only reason why this is a good flick is because of the presence of Brad Dourif. As always, heu0026#39;s excellent. Rent this flick, that is if you can find it. The beginning is slow, but it is very entertaining.”
