Profile of The Burning

The Burning can be described as scary, rough, and suspenseful. The plot revolves around a family in danger, a slasher, and a psychopath. The main genres are horror and thriller. In terms of style, The Burning is gory. In approach, it is serious. It is set, at least in part, in a hospital. The Burning takes place in the 1980s. It is well suited for teens and a boys' night.

Summary of The Burning

At summer camp, some teenagers pull a prank on the camp's caretaker, Cropsy . But the joke goes terribly wrong, and the teens leave Cropsy for dead after setting him on fire. But no one keeps Cropsy down. A few years later, the burned and disfigured caretaker returns to camp equipped with his trusty shears, ready to unleash his particular brand of vengeance on a whole new group of teens. The murderous Cropsy stalks the campers in the woods, one by one.

A Ripoff That Bests The Original
Just as Alien is a complete ripoff of It! The Terror From Beyond Space that justifies its existence by kicking ass, so to does The Burning rise above the level of Friday the 13th imitator to be one of the best old-school slashers. It helps that...
