Zac Efron's horror film based on a Stephen King book climbs to TOP FIVE on Netflix... after being SAVAGED by critics who called it a 'disaster'

However, audiences have rediscovered the picture on Netflix UK & Ireland, where it managed to climb into the top five this week.

Firestarter stars Zac as the telepathic father of a little girl played by Ryan Kiera Armstrong (left) who is born with the ability to set fires with the power of her mind 'The only mood conjured by this dud is one of extreme torpor, and the only response it elicits is confusion as to why anyone - including headliner Zac Efron - thought this was worthy of their time or energy in the first place,' marveled the Daily Beast. 'Only a thrilling throwback synth score from John Carpenter keeps this inferior, modernized take on Firestarter off the lower end of a list of Stephen King adaptations,' opined Empire magazine.
