Plot: This offbeat thriller from Tobe Hooper (THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) stars Brad Dourif as Sam Kramer, a young man whose parents died after participating in a top secret radiation experiment during the 1950s. Around the time Sam discovers his parent's fate, he begins to have bouts of anger that seemingly cause other people to burst into flames. Realizing this may be some sort of leftover effect of the radiation he was exposed to as a child, Sam is not surprised that his newfound powers begin to attract the attention of the government.

 One of Hoopers most least seen and underapprecitated movies, Spontaneous Combustion is one of my favorite flicks. I love revenge, I love fire and I goddamn love Brad Douriff.--Sonny Fernandez (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
The film does have its interesting moments now and then, but I was bored for the most part. ... A decent rent if you've got nothing else, but don't expect much or you'll be very disapointed like I was. 5/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
So-so fare has director/co-writer Tobe Hooper coming up with a fairly intriguing idea and bringing it down with a tedious pace and pathetically weak finale.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
