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. Later, the caretaker comes back, lurks around an upstate New York summer camp bent on killing the teenagers responsible for his disfigurement.

It's a legitimately ugly movie; it gets under your skin.

One of the more inspired early-'80s slasher pics.

Really works to its own beat, and is a ball from beginning to end.

It's a movie very much like Tolkien's writing: if you don't discover it in junior high, you'll never appreciate it the way it was meant to be appreciated again.

It's dated and sort of dull but there's some amazing gore and the new blu-ray makes it shine.

at a time when the subgenre was undergoing a boom & the market was saturated... The Burning does little to distinguish itself from the spate of other slashers with which it was vying for screen space
