Blog & StoriesFive years after a prank gone horribly wrong leaves him hideously disfigured and mentally shattered, former camp caretaker Cropsy escapes from a psychiatric hospital, his mind consumed by vengeance. Armed with a rusted pair of garden shears, he returns to the remote upstate New York woods to exact a bloody retribution upon the new generation of teenagers at Camp Stonewater. As the summer sun sets and the shadows lengthen, the air thickens with dread, and the teens soon realize that their lakeside paradise has become a hunting ground for a monster thirsting for their lives. With its relentless tension and visceral kills, The Burning is a savage slasher classic that reminds us that some pranks are anything but harmless.

SlasherSam – 7/10
“I thought the atmosphere was top-notch, especially with the camp setting and the legend of Cropsy hanging over everything. The kills are brutal for the time, and the finale is a wild ride. It doesn't break new ground, but it's a solid, bloody good time.”
NightOwl1981 – 5/10
“Maybe I'm desensitized, but I didn't find this as scary as people say. The pacing is a bit slow in the middle, and the characters are pretty one-dimensional. That said, the raft scene made up for a lot, and the gore effects were impressive.”
GoreGoddess – 8/10
“I absolutely loved the practical effects – that one scene with the shears is a masterpiece. The movie really captures that summer camp horror vibe, and Cropsy is a genuinely creepy villain. For me, it's a must-watch for any slasher fan.”
FinalGirlFan – 6/10
“It's got its moments, especially the kills and the suspenseful build-up. But I felt the characters were mostly forgettable, and the story doesn't offer much beyond the usual slasher formula. Still, it's an enjoyable time-waster for a dark night.”
