interesting but rather odd for its time, 14 July 2007
7/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

Pyro is the story of an engineer, who has moved to Spain with his family to work on a project. While there he finds a house that he buys from a woman who seems rather taken with setting things on fire. He buys the house & the family moves in, but he's got the side thing going on with the firebug, and she eventually figures out that if she burns down the house with the wife & kid inside, she'll have him all to herself. Which is true, but not quite in the way she envisioned, because while his wife and kid die, he lives, but is horribly burned and scarred, and he's stalking her and her daughter. This is a rather odd film for its time and has themes that would later be used in other and more shocking thrillers. Not bad, amazing what Troma will dredge up sometimes. 7 out of 10.
