The Burning is marred by lame start but gets better over time, evinces camp in
Meatballs style, and finishes well.
It's a good horror story, reminding me of Friday the 13th, especially the second and fourth parts. The style is
well done, and the camera work is expert with the cast turning in good performances. Young Jason Alexander of
Seinfeld
fame makes his screen debut. By the way, The Burning is among the early films financed by the fledgling
studio Miramax.
All in all, The Burning is one of the better 80's slasher flicks.
