Another in the endless stream of psycho-hack movies with a lot of second-class , unpaid actors relentlessly pursued by a maniac-killer .The film becomes an unrelenting exercice in stark horror , loaded with repulsive gore in scene after scene . A summer camp caretaker , horribly burned from a prank gone wrong, is released from an institute and years later, he goes back to the camp with a pair of hedge clippers to take vengeance on the campers. There he lurks around an upstate New York summer camp bent on killing the teens responsible for his disfigurement. Gather Around the Campfire to Die! It will take you further than fear !. A legend of terror is no campfire story anymore! Don't look he'll see you. Don't breathe he'll hear you. Don't move you're dead !. What happened one summer 5 years ago is about to happen again! And again!! And again!!!Today is not Friday the 13th. But if you see this movie alone... you'll never be the same again!.Come Face To Face With The Creation of Evil!.If you go down to the woods today... Watch out for Cropsy!
The film displays thrills , chills , cardboard horror , tension and lots of blood and gory scenes for nauseating execution . The concept of the movie originally scripted as "The Cropsy Maniac" is plain and simple , the typical series murderer who proceeds an astonishing massacre. This time the grisly murders are ruthlessly executed by a janitor who was accidently burned severely at a summer camp from a prank . Extremely scary and eerie with abundant stabbing shots , including nice make-up and adequate special effects by the great expert Tom Savini, in fact Savini turned down "Friday the 13th II (1981)" to work on this . As always, a series killer makes an authentic slaughter with gruesome and bloody assassinations using his supernatural and huge force and his regular garden clipper . After successes as John Carpenter's Halloween and Sean S. Cunningham's Friday the 13th expanded a lot of rip-offs or imitations and one of the best ones resulted to be this ¨The burning (1981)¨. Rated R for violence , gore , nudity and profanity. In The Burning appearing some familiar and young faces as Leah Ayres , Jason Alexander, Holly Hunter and Fisher Stevens who subsequently to be continued decent cinematic careers.
This Harvey Weinstein production is decent enough , being well directed by Tony Maylan at his best , despite of various difficulties involved . Resulting in one of the biggest grossing horror films ever made and being debut feature film produced by Harvey Weinstein . Maylan is a little prolific filmmaker expert on Thriller genre as ¨Journal of a contract killer¨ , ¨Split second¨ , ¨Phoenix Blue¨ , ¨The riddle of the sands¨and Horror as ¨The burning¨ . This is an overwhelming tale story in Slasher genre with suspense , villainy , chills and lots of blood and gore. Recommended for those with strong stomachs.
