Screening as part of Enzian’s 13+ Films of Halloween!

Uncut 4K Restoration!

At a bucolic summer camp in upstate New York, a group of miscreant teenagers pull a prank on the camp’s caretaker, Cropsy (Lou David). But the joke goes terribly wrong, and the teens leave Cropsy for dead after setting him on fire. But no one keeps Cropsy down. After a few years locked away in a hospital, the burned and disfigured caretaker returns to camp equipped with his trusty shears, ready to unleash a particular brand of vengeance on a whole new group of teens. 

Based on a real urban legend and inspired by the massive box office success of the low-budget slasher FRIDAY THE 13TH, THE BURNING was the first film from the fledgling Miramax production group.  Luring FX god Tom Savini (DAWN OF THE DEAD) away from creating the gore gags for FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2, THE BURNING is an iconic early-age slasher film with dizzying practical effects work and a collection of soon-to-be-Hollywood stars, including:  Brian Backer (FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH), Jason Alexander (SEINFIELD), Fisher Stevens (SHORT CIRCUIT) and Oscar-winner Holly Hunter (THE PIANO)!
