Review of Fleshburn (1984) by Senor C — 27 Mar 2011
Fleshburn was one of those covers that stuck in my mind from the hey day of renting VHS. It was in the horror section but this isn't really a horror movie. No more then Deliverence is anyways. I had been sitting on a copy for years & figured that I should finally watch it since Im a fan of Sonny Landham.
I loved him in 48 HRS & Predator & always thought that he should have had more of a career. They should have cast him in the Thunder Warrior series. To hell w/ Mark Gregory. In Fleshburn he's a shell shocked Vietnam vet who has been committed to an mental hospital.
He escapes, kidnaps those responsible for putting him there & takes them out to the desert leaving them to die. As they try to survive Sonny continues to torment them from a distance. I was a little disappointed w/ Fleshburn.
No great thrill but it is watchable. Sonny is underutilized as this could have been better since it came from a book by the man who gave us Death Wish Brian Garfield.
