IMDb Picks: Iconic Summer Movies to Watch Now17 of 22
The Burning | Watch Now on Shudder
Plot: A former summer camp caretaker, horribly burned from a prank gone wrong, lurks around an upstate New York summer camp, bent on killing the teenagers responsible for his disfigurement.
Our Take: The Friday the 13th franchise is the obvious pick for summer camp slashers (I'm a fan of Part 2 and The Final Chapter), but if you want something a little off-the-beaten-nature-path, check out The Burning from 1981. It's a fun and effective horror flick with plenty of gore from FX maestro Tom Savini, and features the big screen debuts of Holly Hunter, Jason Alexander, and Fisher Stevens. — James
