Didn't really understand most of 'Spontaneous Combustion' as in who was who and why did that happen and so forth. It may make sense to some but the story confused me. Brad Dourif plays Sam who inherits (possibly?) fire starting powers from his parents who were in a nuclear test and begins manifesting them when he is older until he becomes a pool of sentient white light at the end (I think....). The film suffers from silly moments; fire sent down telephone lines, water strengthening fire not putting it out, sleeves shooting out fake-looking fire like a flame thrower, the villain wanting to make atomic soldiers, the misuse of the meaning of the phrase 'spontaneous human combustion' etc. Mr. Dourif is watchable but the rest of the cast are not interesting. A slow burn of a film that never catches fire.
