Movie Reviews of The Burning
Movie Review: No one gets burned
Summary: 4 Stars
It has taken awhile before a completely uncut version of The Burning has been available to North American audiences, but here it is in all of its gory glory. Effects genius Tom Savinis handiwork has been masterfully restored and heightens the impact of the scares. No punches pulled here. As for the story it's pretty standard (crazy creep takes revenge on teenagers at a camp who were responsible for a prank that left him grossly disfigured......actually it was just one kid but that doesn't stop the maniac from gleefully taking out a few more), but it's the clever dialogue and likeable characters (a young Jason Alexander from from Seinfeld pre hair loss) that make you slightly uncomfortable when they get done in.Movie Review: A Cut above the rest
Summary: 4 Stars
The Burning is a cut above horror movies that followed in the wake of Halloween and Friday The 13th. ANY horror movie with Tom Savini's name attached was a cut above the rest. His effects in this movie are stellar. (Highly recommended; The Prowler, Maniac, Day of the Dead) Rick Wakeman's score settles into a comfortable cheezy category. The score is NOT Halloween nor Friday The 13th...however, it holds up well. The characters have heart. The story borrows from the Friday the 13th template but the writer(s) added a little spin for creativity. Grab some popcorn and go camping. Watch out for Jas-...uh, I mean Cropsy.Movie Review: Don't Play With Matches
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie once before several years after it came out and I was fascinated by the Main character, who was severely burned by a practical joke and who came back for revenge on the kids who did it years later.
The same type of suspense that is a signature of Slasher films.
Once again, if you like slasher movies, this one is for you. But watch out what you do with fire, you wouldn't know what will happen.
Movie Review: Good slasher film.
Summary: 4 Stars
Finally unrated on DVD this movie is a great early 80's slasher film. Lots of gore and the first acting job for Jason Alexander (George Costanza) who pretty much acts like...well...George Costanza. Unfortunaly it was banned and that pretty much killed any chance of Cropsy coming back in future sequels. The Tom Savini interview is fantastic and not to be missed, however do not watch before the movie.Movie Review: This is a great slasher movie
Summary: 4 Stars
