The Burning (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter rj531
- Start date
I went through a stage of trying to get almost everything that's in The Deep Red Horror Handbook. But a lot of it is just garbage. I have the uncut versions of Cannibal Holocaust / Cannibal Ferox even though I can't watch the animal killings (I did once) I do have a soft spot for Deadbeat At Dawn, raw film making at it's best. I look at Last House the same way, raw and brutal. True horror in the sense of the word. A lot of todays horror films are too polished but I did like Sinister.
Sadly I have to agree. I purchased a lot of those same films and end up selling them on ebay because they simply disappointed major league.
A classic example I purchased The Arrow pressing of Squirm as I'd heard so much about the film and I have to be honest, I've never been as bored in my life. I was rapidly losing the will to live to get to the end of it......Having said that The Burning is one of the few exceptions. I found it to be a very good film which I would and could easily watch again and probably enjoy it even more a second time.

I don't really like that cover. One of the original posters would make it perfect.
I liked Squirm, one of the first region 1 DVD's I bought back in 2007 but I can understand why you didn't like it. The Burning was one of the first video rentals I saw back in the early 80's before the term video nasties appeared. Of course that sits in my collection too. I'm not really pushed in getting the steelbook though.
Agree, there's a lot of garbage to sift through in 80's horrors. But if you can, you can find the odd diamond in the rough!
I remember The Prowler and Night Of The Creeps had a certain charm to them. Something that made them a bit more memorable from the others. Effects by Tom Savini on The Prowler also.
I like both films. I think the main reason for watching The Burning is Tom Savini's effects.
Final update from Arrow regarding my enquiry of last week regarding Zavvi's stock of this steelbook:-
Hi Nicholas,
While I can’t give you numbers, I can tell you that Zavvi never received another shipment from us. It appears that they re-allocated the stock to their store, for whatever reason, be it cancellations and what not. They’re no longer available from the site now.

I thought the stock levels for this had been depleted 3 times over already?!
On back order from where?
It isn't now Paul, but it was when I posted; Amazon must have made a mistake in their listing.
The link has now changed to the product details page whereas the original link was to the buying choices with Amazon at the top 'in stock on November 16th'. All irrelevant now though.
