This was one of the controversial "video nasties" from the UK tabloid scare in the early 80s.

I haven't seen this. Is it worth a blind buy?

If you like slasher films, then yes, you can't go wrong with The Burning, it's worth it for the Savini FX alone (particularly the raft scene, or the "free for all" as I like to call it).

It's the only slasher flick with Jason Alexander, Fisher Stevens AND Holly Hunter...

And Rat from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He blows them all off the screen.

Ah, Cropsy. I have many fond memories of introducing a gaggle of teenagers to his mischievous ways when I was given the task of getting a "scary movie" for a late-night video party back in the '80s. Many regretted giving me that task when they got a load of the Cropster jamming a pair of scissors into the belly of a hooker disgusted by his melted visage. Good times.

It's about time that The Burning and From Beyond get released. I also read that William Wesley's Scarecrows is coming out too. This is just great news.

Finally watched this last night..of all of the 80s slasher stragglers, I'm surprised this was never turned into a franchise, it's actually, originality aside, a pretty damn entertaining movie and the Savini gore is great.

Don't forget the truly awesome and rather unnerving Rick Wakeman soundtrack.
