The Burning (1980)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 91m
Director: Tony Maylam
Cast: Brian Matthews, Leah Ayres

Synopsis:

Denizens of a campsite are massacred by the avenging spirit of the caretaker who was burnt to death by pranksters years before.

Review:

Extreme in its use of racial stereotypes and stylised violence, this reprehensible film is so skilfully made, both in building up tension and releasing it, that it has to be set apart from the bulk of this dire subgenre. Whether as better or worse is a moot point.
