Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Oh, those crazy days of slasher films, when every summer camp became a potential slaughterhouse. The Burning was one of the flood of movies that followed the success of Friday the 13th, and it's more notable today for an unexpected roster of talent than for its success as a horror movie. You will note that the opening titles feature the unusual credit of "Created and Produced by Harvey Weinstein," and sure enough, this is the first feature film bearing the name of the future Hollywood mogul. Let's acknowledge that Weinstein's instincts were shrewd, since this junky thing fit right into the kill-the-teenagers trend after Friday the 13th, and thus a safe way to get a return on investment. We're at Camp Blackstone, where a disfigured loony, still sizzling after getting burned by unhappy campers years earlier, exacts his revenge on the empty-headed current crop. Among the campers are future Seinfeld star Jason Alexander, Fisher Stevens, and (in a smaller part) Holly Hunter. There's a vintage early-'80s synthesizer score by Rick Wakeman, but the real star of the movie is effects whiz Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead), who does his bloody best with the murders. We don't care much about the teenagers, but students of gore will savor the throat-cuttings and the finger-loppings. --Robert Horton

Great Classic Movie, I never seen it at all in the 80's, the first time I saw is on cable and I decided to buy it!

If only for the "raft" scene and to see Jason Alexander "pre-Seinfeld", you must watch this 80's Horror Classic. This is not "Sophie's Choice" folks. The acting is cheesy, the camera work is cheesier, but the pure joy of 80's low budget Horror is worth the price of purchase/admission!!

The Burning is about as good as an 80's slasher film gets. The story is simple but hits the nail on the head, following in the footsteps of films like Black Christmas and Friday the 13th. The caretaker Cropsy is horribly burnt and disfigured in a camp prank gone wrong, and returns after several years and many failed skin grafts to take his burning revenge on the councellors inhabiting the camp.
The Burning is not only violent, it's also stylish. The synth-theme makes the film stand out, ... Read More

Believe it or not this is my first slasher movie, so I don't have the knowledge to give you a doctoral thesis on the genesis of the faceless killer or anything. I never really liked slasher movies, at least what I saw in the trailers. They just seemed...tedious. I don't know why, I like all kinds of genre films, some of which my friends won't even watch. I just never got into them. But I saw that Jason Alexander, George Costanza himself, was in this film and I had to see it. How could anyone resist Costanza ... Read More
