In my daily search for lost scare movie gems, I opinion to myself that I may have found one in the famed slasher movie called “The Burning”. Indeed, the movie is noted because it was previously banned in some countries as the gore is considered to be graphic in the crude. However, upon a viewing of the movie, I came away thinking to myself that it wasn’t so mighty the gore that would offend the average viewer especially awe movie lovers (Tom Savini was terrific as usual), but, if anything, perhaps the sex scenes and nudity were a slight strong for younger viewers, certainly not enough to be banned, however.

Anyway, “The Burning” starts off simple enough as the audience is thrown into the middle of Camp Blackstone as an ornery man named Cropsy is being conspired upon by a group of boys who want to “pay” Cropsy support for his unpleasant ways. The trick goes poor and Cropsy is burned so badly that no skin grafts would buy and Cropsy is reduced to an inhuman freak of nature. Peaceful, Cropsy recovers his physical strength and then some it seems as he begins his mission to acquire revenge upon those campers that wronged him, including any other girls or adolescent sex-crazed boys that might be in the situation.
The space in “The Burning” is simple and quite effective as it is based upon the age obsolete act of revenge. After he leaves the hospital, Cropsy haunts the woods of another camp where one of his ragged pranksters/assailants is now a camp counselor. Now, if you have seen “Madman” or any of the “Friday the 13th parts 1-6″ movies, you have a basic conception of what it going to happen, or do you? An element of surprise along with some graphic violence brilliantly orchestrated by the legendary, Tom Savini, marks this slasher as a slice above the rest. Interestingly enough, even children, in gargantuan daylight no less (which is certainly not the norm in terror flicks), are not spared in this movie, and I assume that makes this movie more realistic, scarier and certainly more horrifying. No one is exempt from the vicious and despicable Cropsy. Perhaps, it is this graphic violence where not even the children are ample in the mammoth daylight that shocks the conscience of the audience and sets this movie apart from the abovementioned apprehension flicks.

Indeed, “The Burning” is similar to “Madman” and “Friday the 13th” but also different. “The Burning” is constructed differently and, as I mentioned above, the majority of the death scenes occur in the daytime, which as I said is quite modern for dismay flicks, but very effective in creating a sense of realism which only works to magnify the alarm of this film.
The rotten “raft scene” (***SPOILER ALERT***) takes position in huge day light as well, and the audience really has no belief about what is about to happen, and that’s allotment of what makes it so mountainous along with the smart special effects of Tom Savini and the brutal violence associated with this scene. The setting of the raft scene is rather unorthodox for a awe movie as you have children respectable in a raft during spacious daylight and having a titanic time no less. However, a lonely canoe emerges, the contents of which are largely unknown or to say the least surprising. The audience knows that the campers’ canoes are missing, that a girl is also missing, therefore, the viewer thinks it could be the body of this girl, but when the kids on the raft approach upon what seems to be this lonely canoe, a scene which ranks highly as one of the greatest scenes of pure awe ever filmed in a slasher flick (or any apprehension movie for that matter) ensues. The “raft scene” is an absolutely shiny fragment of cinematic fright and the movie is worth owning for this scene alone, although the movie is very superior overall as well.
Cropsy, as a villain, is quite formidable, sadistic, perverted, strong and base, and after the burning of his body, it is apparent that Cropsy takes on a rather inhuman create with unsightly characteristics and qualities that only amplify his prowess as a villain. In fact, it’s honorable to say that Cropsy is an irascible, sadistic and perverted freak of nature.
The main things I like about “The Burning” is the unexpected scene the audience gets with the raft, the realistic-type atmosphere and the incandescent job done by Tom Savini on the blood and gore associated with the murders in this movie. The kills are violent, horrid to the conscience, approach without warning, vicious and are committed without remorse leaving the audience shrinking and timorous with dread of Cropsy.
Criticisms of this flick are few but not entirely insignificant. As with many slasher movies, there is some needless dialogue, gratuitous nudity and some scenes that maybe droll in a sense, but have absolutely nothing to do with the movie as far as its merits as a fear movie are concerned. However, there is some constructive character development in these scenes and the camp theme is presented only too well (gives me flashbacks) and quite accurately in the movie. It is discouraged that some of the scenes do think some conventional acting at times, and if you are not really into the humor of sexual inuendos and such, you may accumulate yourself bored as the movie tends to roam impartial a bit in the middle.
Still, “The Burning” heats up into a very nice fear movie and while “The Burning” may be cross to some of the elite dread movies on sure levels of producing scares and atmospheric “dismay” in the sense of consuming apprehension in the audience, the movie is tranquil very effective as a anxiety movie with its graphic violence and frightening death scenes. The theme music with Cropsy is very effective and the audience settles legal into Cropsy’s sad, morbid and isolated world of wicked. The atmosphere in “The Burning” with regard to its serve of the movie as a dread flick comes and goes with Cropsy really, but when it’s there, it’s very effective. In other words, when Cropsy appears to be out of the recount, the movie takes on a kind of comedy-like atmosphere in a sense and it is comical, but this also works to ease the uneasy emotions and tension in the audience stimulated by the dismay and fright that “The Burning” produces.
At times, “The Burning” struggles to hold the pure terror movie spirit and the execute is spurts of virulent fear (albeit very effective spurts of anxiety), but we do not have in this movie the unrelenting dread and building tension of “Halloween”. The acting in “The Burning” is average and the characters are not very likeable which may temper the anxiety unprejudiced a bit. With all of that being said, “The Burning” is a must-own scare movie classic in my conception, and is clearly profitable to all of today’s trash and sacreligious remakes of terror movie classics. Indeed, “The Burning” is very effective as a apprehension movie and is one of the greatest slasher flicks ever made while also earning a nice puny dwelling on my DVD shelf. “The Burning” is a clear-cut classic in my notion, although the rating says FOUR STARS, my official HorrorMan rating is 4.5 STARS.
As a side designate, peek for Jason Alexander who plays a happy-go-lucky type of guy who fosters comedy during the dry scenes as the movie tends to wobble a bit in its efforts to inspire a horror-movie like atmosphere…the now noted actor on the hit TV sitcom “Seinfeld” was able to prefer a few mature comedy scenes with his buddies. Happy THEY FINALLY CAME OUT WITH THIS MOVIE ON DVD!! THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP CLINT!!
There are so many slasher-movies with the usual cliches; tiring, blondes (no offence) that are running up the stairs instead of running fair out the front door to dash from the boogeyman; cars that don’t start; everybody being killed one by one, and in the demolish the bodies suddenly pop up when the only survivor (the tedious blonde) finally starts to suspect there’s something obnoxious etc.
This flick is totally different, 5 people are killed by the maniac at the same time in stout daylight. Their bodies are discovered by a whole group of teens, who are crying for the lost of their friends. This is the first time that such things are shown in a slasher-movie and I had my fragment.
So this movie has an fascinating myth and isn’t that predictable as most of the slasker-movies are. The SFX are also very estimable.
My dispute, if you like slasher-movies don’t miss out on this one, but also don’t inquire of a -nightmare on Elm street- success.
