Product Description
Set Contains:
The Burning enjoys a loyal following among '80s horror film aficionados, who will undoubtedly be pleased by the wealth of extras featured on Scream Factory's Blu-ray/DVD presentation. The picture's raison d'être is unquestionably its grisly, no-holds-barred special effects, which are among the most gruesome featured in an American slasher film, and their conception and execution (no pun intended) by makeup effects legend Tom Savini are the highlight of the supplemental features. The always-jovial Savini is front and center on "Blood 'n' Fire Memories," a 17-plus-minute interview ported over from MGM's 2007 DVD release which features a wealth of his own behind-the-scenes footage as well as his recollections of working on the upstate New York set with its cast of up-and-coming talent. The grainy camcorder footage also receives its own standalone eight-minute showcase, highlighting some of the picture's nastiest kills. Also ported over from the MGM DVD is director Tony Maylam's commentary track, in which Maylam discusses the film's production with writer Alan Jones in frank but affectionate terms; a second, brand-new commentary track featuring costars Shelley Bruce and Bonnie Deroski with moderator Edwin Samuelson is freewheeling and fun as they recall working with their castmates (Jason Alexander, we learn, rewrote a portion of his own self-deprecating dialogue). Actor Lou David, who played the film's villain, Cropsey, is equally informative in his brief interview segment, which highlights the physical and performing challenges of his limited, makeup-heavy role, while director Jack Sholder (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, The Hidden) relays how his work for New Line's trailer department led to his role as editor on the film. The original theatrical coming attraction, galleries of stills, poster art and makeup effects, and a PDF of the screenplay round out this typically abundant presentation from Scream Factory. --Paul Gaita

This movie was directed by Tony Maylan. It was produced by Harvey Weinstein. It was edited by Jack Sholder(director of the Hidden). The gore was brilliantly done by none other than Tom "Sex Machine" Savini. Finally the musical score was done by Rick Wakeman of the band Yes.
The cinematography by Harvey Harrison was beautiful and well shot. The editing by Jack Sholder was very well cut and concise. Tom Savini's good was(as always) beautifully done, very realistic and believable, and in general brilliant. After coming up with some excellent gore for Dawn of the Dead(1978), Maniac(1980), and Friday the 13th(1980) his competency with gore effects had been abundantly proven. Rick Wake did some great music for the score. The emotions of levity, mystery, and fear showed well in his music. The acting was even very believable, not corny at all, and quite professional for a slasher. It was interesting to see Jason Alexander in his film debut and get this with a full head of hair, seeing a much younger Fisher Stevens long before Key West, and as for lovely, sexy, and multi-talented Holly Hunter well I just plain couldn't find her anywhere in this movie. I don't think that she got much camera time.
There wasn't much nudity but it wasn't bad what you got. There were definitely quite a few really real scream queens in this though.
The first person camera perspectives were a great touch and I have never seen them done like this in any other movie. That was one very unique approach to it. The camera work and the edits showing the detail(s) of any of the scenes was beautifully done.
It was nice to see some fun light-heated levity in the movie, such as the canoe scene where they all splash eachother.
Cropsey proved equally menacing while hiding, stalking, and murdering. As far as the kill scenes go, it's less about the variety in his killing style and more about his intensity, vicious hardcore style, and the gore effects that follow. In general, he's menacing, shrewd, and you just never know when he'll strike.
Overall, if you're into great slashers from the 70's and 80's, like well designed and executed gore, like to look at attractive people, want to see exceptionally good acting in a slasher, like campy scenes, and especially are into such great slashers of that era such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre(1974), Black Christmas(1974), Halloween(1978), Friday the 13th(1980), or even A Nightmare on Elm Street, than this 1981 classic is for you.
Please Note: Though this might seem like a Friday the 13th rip-off it's actually different both plot-wise and tone-wise.
It might come of like a cheap carbon copy of Jason and the Friday the 13th series but, it's really not
The film was put on UK's video nasties list mostly due to the epic insane bloodbath raft scene and banned in the UK!
It's a unique take on the Cropsy legend this slasher kills everyone he comes across Nurses, Hookers and plenty of young campers
The Cast is average at best
most of the cast is young you can't blame them every character is somewhat one dimensional
This is also the film debuts of
Jason Alexander (Seinfeld fame)
Fisher Stevens,
and Holly Hunter. (Holly's debut is short blink and your miss her)
Brian Backer as Alfred is somewhat of a interesting character mostly cause he's used as a miss direct (Brain is best known for being in Fast Times at Ridgemont High
The biggest selling point of this film is the kills Tom Savini did the F/X so you know it'll be a beautiful bloodbath
all the gore is practical and still to this day very effective the way everything is edited and cut in some areas fast enough that it hides the movie magic
You can't talk about the Burning without talking about the infamous raft massacre
It's one of the most brutal scenes in any american horror movie everything about it is just flawless the timing the build-up, (This is how to do a hardcore NC-17 bloodbath)
A scene like this would never be shown in any theater! It's not politically correct it's disturbing and still to this day shocking....
Scream Factory puts out a very enjoyable Special Edition uncut with plenty of extras (Including a second disc SD DVD)
Extras include:
first Audio Commentary with Director Tony Maylam and International Film Journalist Alan Jones
(this was ported over from the original MGM DVD)
second Audio Commentary with Stars Shelley Bruce and Bonnie Deroski. (This is the Scream Factory exclusive commentary)
to me it's more enjoyable

I'm a little shocked this film hasn't be Re-made like everything else under the sun in terms of classic horror 9.5/10

The story is not the most original, but it does put a little twist in that is quite good. There is a long spell between the first and second victim. The Director uses this time to hit us with a few red herrings and build up the characters. Once the killings begin anew, the pace of the film really ramps up and is helped along with the great score by Rick Wakeman, yes him (if you’re old enough, that will raise a smile). It’s Tom Savini handling the Gore, which is why this was banned at one time sadly. This is uncut, looks great and sounds great too.
Sadly no sequel, which might be a good thing in some ways. I did see a parody cover for a vhs which eluded a sequel with Ernest Borgnine credited as being in it however it was not to be.
Get this and hopefully you’ll love it as much as I do.
