The Burning

Wednesday, July 16, 2008

I'm a sucker for a good old fashioned 80s slasher movie. And I was pretty excited for this one, as it was the Weinstein Bros' first movie, contains early appearances from Jason Alexander and Holly Hunter (and Fisher Stevens, but who gives a fuck), and apparently has a reputation for being particularly mean spirited. At first I thought I was in for a treat, as it seemed competently made and whatnot. But then it pretty much meandered through its first hour, and didn't have enough payoff to make up for it. We get the requisite gore and nudity, but the violence isn't really frequent or creative enough to save this one.
