The Burning (1981)
A janitor at a summer camp is burned after a prank goes wrong and becomes disfigured. After being released from hospital, he returns to the camp to take out his frustrations on some pesky teenagers with a pair of hedge clippers.
This is heralded as a classic among slasher fans, and even though I really enjoy it, I think there was much better slashers in the 80's. There is one moment though that is out of this world amazing where the deranged killer chops up the teenagers on a raft.
I really don't have much to say about this. For me, it's just a run-of-the-mill slasher that's enjoyable but not spectacular. It is worth a watch though and has some nice kills.

Disagree with you here, mate. I think this is definitely a classic of the slasher subgenre. I think that it suffers from the raft of movies that came after it (no pun intended, okay maybe it was slightly intended lol).
ReplyDeleteI prefer the movies that came after it lol. The trashier and cheesier a slasher, the better I think.
