7/10
Surprising better than I thought

Warning: Spoilers
Surprising better than I thought! 80's by the numbers story with sex, mixed with over the top characters. Nude people , and crude humor all in the mix with violence for a typical slasher film. The Burning breaks a few rules with few surprises, and there is a few gross scenes; but what works for The Burning is the story build up. What makes the grade b revenge horror movie better then others b slasher flicks is that the viewer sees the killers pathos, and the day to day working of the summer camp, before the fateful canoe trip. There is lot's of story build up. As the story builds up we get to see a young George of Stienfield in it. As the viewer watches acting, and directing we notice The Burning is not so bad for another revenge horror movies. Worth watching. 7 stars.
