No Hope November Day 5 takes us once again to that special time known as the 80's. Today featuring "The Burning." One of my favorite slasher movies of all time, The Burning tells the tale of a summer camp caretaker named Cropsy, who, at the hands of a group of campers, in a prank gone horribly wrong, is severely burned. After several years of a life of pain and torment, Cropsy returns to his old stomping grounds to take revenge on the current batch of campers. One by one he b...rutally maims and kills the unfortunate and unsuspecting teens. This film has amazing kills, many of which are done in broad daylight, which is a cool variation that sets The Burning apart from many similar movies. Jason Alexander (George Costanza) from Seinfeld appears as a camper, as does Leah Ayers, who later starred with Jean Claude Van Damme in Bloodsport. As I said, one of my personal favorite slashers. If you are a fan of the genre, or 80's horror in general, you should give The Burning a look. Maybe it will "spark" your interest.
