1981 had to be the best year for slasher flicks of the decade. That year produced "The Burning", a personal fave that I watched last nite. A slasher flick set at summer camp isn't/wasn't what you would call an original idea but it was well done. It seems (this) camp was blessed with a sadistic janitor named Cropsy. Having all they could stand, some of the guys decided to get even by scaring the s__t out of their tormenter. The joke goes horribly wrong (imagine that) and Cropsy is burnt to a crisp. After a few years in the hospital Cropsy gets out...disfigured to say the least, looking for some payback. It's an all-star cast...80's hottie Leah Ayers, Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld) and Holly Hunter. Some cool music by Rick Wakeman (Yes) and a nerd Alfred that was in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". The scene in the canoe with the hedge clippers is an all-timer. Just about as good as it gets........... 4 of 5 stars.
