Review of Sunburst

Sunburst (1975)
Terrible!
14 June 1999
Warning: Spoilers
This is a terrible movie! It leads you on that it is this really great horror movie! I mean, totally cheesy, but great for a midnight viewing! You wait for blood and gore and violence and loveless lovemaking and nudity, and all of that, but instead, you get a cheesy drama.

The story claims to be about a maniac stalking down a couple while they are on a weekend camping trip. The box even tells about these two skinny-dipping and being watched. Sounds good, right?! And the cover is amazing! It's so great! So, of course, I had to get the movie! So, I did.

Horrible idea.

After a stupid skinny-dipping scene, two guys appear to introduce themselves to the couple. Later on, at a cheesy cabin, the guys return, restraining the guy and somewhat raping the girl. (Stupid still.) The two guys get away, and the girl just cries and snivels through the rest of the time. The next day, the girl is still crying, and their friend Michael (played by Robert Englund) comes. They talk about the incident, the girl cries. Then the guy comes across the "bad guys" and fights with them, but the fight ends with the guys running, and the three "good people" laugh and take a dip in the lake. Then the girl reads a passage of something or other, and they all leave. Confused? I was. The movie is a real let-down. Avoid it!
