The Burning

(1981)Directed by Tony Maylam91 min · RHorror
“A legend of terror isn't a campfire story anymore!”

A caretaker at a summer camp wakes in a hospital after a prank goes wrong, his body burned, and years of treatment leave him released but missing some of the ways other people move through the world. Tony Maylam sends him back toward the camp where it happened and to the young counselors there, among them Todd (Brian Matthews) and Michelle (Leah Ayres). Under the campfire talk runs one plain idea: a cruel joke between kids can ruin a life.
