Yes it is almost equivalent to Child's Play. Back in its day it created some big spooks and jitters but today it doesnt scare much. Of course the franchise and the remake did nothing to its reputation either.

There has been some argument over this movie...some hail it as a new dimension in horror...yet others say it wasnt anything great...can anybody elaborate why

The Burning

isnt regarded too highly in every horror fan's book?

Here it comes....!!!

The Burning was good.......actually a bit underated. Great Tom Savini effects.....plot was a bit lame, but most 70's slashers were.

it was pretty lame but it gets points for showing a Jason Alexander with hair.

i watched it after the remake, I enjoyed the remake better, I guess because it actually made me jump a little.

The Burning is one of my favorite 80's slashers.Awesome flick!

Remake??:confused:

sorry, I was talking about Amityville Horror remake, I saw that before I saw the original, didnt really like either one, but if I had to pick I'd watch the remake over the original.

Remakes are a totally different track. Of course we will eventually run into them, but for now lets stick to the originals...largely those which have shared love-hate relationships with the audiences over the years.

Speaking of love-hate...a very recent movie has had mixed reactions from the audiences...here at HDC, most of us have loved it...yet I usually come across some negative vibes towards it too...usually from over-critical members and newbies...

The accusations of ripping off a video-game's atmosphere shot-for-shot, and stretched use of characters...why do the critics not like

Silent Hill?

I seriously wouldn't know...I don't watch movies adapted from video games

Yeah.

Except for Super Mario Bros., but I was little.
