A horror "classic" that isn't.
30 April 2021
For a movie that's almost universally held up as a perfect sequel in the now ubiquitous horror franchise, it's actually not very good.

The problem is the sequel was made better as another film, The Burning, a far more gruesome though equally flawed.

For me this spends too much time looking at the pretty girls taking their tops off trying to develop sympathy for the victims rather than getting to the whole reason for watching the film in the first place, gory bloody murders!

And it doesn't deliver in the gore department either. It's all a bit sanitised and tame.even the final girl get rescued by her night in shining armour.

I suppose it's worth watching for the novelty value but I've had breakfasts more scary than this.
