The Amusement Park

The Amusement Park

Directed by George A. Romero

Recently discovered and restored 46 years after its completion, George A. Romero's The Amusement Park stars MARTIN's Lincoln Maazel as an elderly man who finds himself disoriented and increasingly isolated as the pains, tragedies, and humiliations of aging in America are manifested through roller coasters and chaotic crowds. Commissioned by the Lutheran Society, the film is perhaps Romero’s wildest and most imaginative movie– an allegory about the nightmarish realities of growing older, and an alluring snapshot of the filmmaker’s early artistic capacity and style. The “lost” film was restored in 4k by IndieCollect in New York City.

Rediscovered and restored, this "lost" gem from George A. Romero takes an elderly gentleman to the amusement park for a hellish nightmare.

Cast: Lincoln Maazel

Well. That was a curio. A stark warning for those prepared to hear its lessons, but far from Romero's best work.

Fantastic. Thank you Shudder.. I've been excited to finally see this after first hearing about it. George had a broader mind than general media release lets on.
