Much in the same way that Sean Cunningham ripped off John Carpenter’s Halloween, many filmmakers since have ripped off Friday The 13th (1980). In my opinion, one of the best F13 ripoffs is 1981’s The Burning. In just the past few years, The Burning has gained quite a cult following. …

Set in a remote, weather-worn hotel, the film leans into isolation and ambiguity, creating a sense of unease that builds steadily rather than relying on obvious scares. It’s the kind of movie that …
