PRESENTED ON A RARE 35MM PRINT! 45th ANNIVERSARY SCREENING!
Long requested by horror fans at The Revue, The Burning slashes onto our screen from a rare 35mm UK print featuring the film's longer international cut. This is a unique opportunity to experience one of the greatest summer camp slashers ever made the way it was meant to be seen!
This formulaic slasher film does set itself apart from other camp slashers, such as Friday the 13th and Sleepaway Camp, as it's refreshingly devoid of certain horror tropes that have made the sub-genre famous. Virgins and likable characters perish, which makes it difficult to tell which characters will be added to the body count. The Burning may not be considered as an iconic horror film to a mainstream audience, however it should still be considered a revered addition to any hardcore horror fan's letterboxd reviews section.
