The Burning (Maylam, 1981): Prince Charles Cinema, 6.30pm
Don't know a lot about this screening right now but it's presented by the Cigarette Burns film club team so keep an eye on their Facebook page here.
Here's the wiki introduction: The Burning is a 1981 slasher film directed by Tony Maylam, with music by Rick Wakeman.
It tells the story of a cruel, alcoholic, sadistic caretaker at a
summer camp (nicknamed "Cropsy" and based on the urban legend of Cropsey)
who falls victim to a prank that went out of control which leaves him
horribly burned and disfigured. Following his release from hospital, he
returns to his old stomping ground and begins a murder spree. The film was one of the first from Miramax Films: Harvey Weinstein produced the film and Bob Weinstein was a co-writer. Jason Alexander, Fisher Stevens and Oscar winner Holly Hunter all made their motion picture debuts in this film.
Here is the trailer.
