It is four years since we lost the horror master George A. Romero, but the recent restoration of his long forgotten film, The Amusement Park, has proved that even from beyond the grave Romero can prove he was always ahead of his peers.
While many “lost” movies are best kept that way, The Amusement Park is one that very much deserves to have a place next to Romero’s other great works.
In its simplest terms, the story of The Amusement Park is about an elderly man who visits the titular park, but finds himself stuck in the middle of a hellish nightmare.
Considering Romero would only be 33 when making the film, he had an axe to grind and grind it he did.
