The Burning


A sleazy Friday The 13th clone with a leering, ogling approach to its female characters made all the more insidious by subplots that try to normalise sexually aggressive behaviour and dismiss sex pests as harmless, which in turn is given an even darker edge by an opening credit that states this was all created by Harvey Weinstein.
All of which is overshadowed by having to watch George from Seinfeld in his early twenties playing a teenager. With hair.

  1. This one has the Weinstein factor, yeah - one of only two writing credits I think. Many years since I saw this but that's about how I remember it. Forgot hirsute George though, thankfully.
