Wilder Napalm is truly an original film, what it lacks or is needing of improvement is the atari 2600 fire graphics. Which by the by doesn't stop the film from being any less quirky spontaneous and enjoyable. The story is as old as the hills boy meets girl, girl finds out boy can make fire with his mind as can his brother. Love triangle cliche activate. This film is charming, devilishly clever and perhaps most importantly a delightful to watch with a quick even tempered paced. Bookend of course with singing firemen!
