Theysit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Friday the 13th, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Burning is

Late August. A stolen sparkler arcs into dry timber. The caretaker returns, face half-scarred, a propane tank rattling in the trunk. Tony Maylam folds slasher rules into folk horror, keeps the fire small.
