The Amusement Park
Shot in 1973, screened at several festivals and events through years but it went largely unseen otherwise. A print was re-discovered in 2017 and sent to Romero about three weeks before he passed away. It received a 4K restoration and the horror streaming service Shudder announced in February 2021 they'd acquired the rights to show the film, and would release it later that summer.,The sign for requirements to go on a ride says riders can't have "hardning of arteries" instead of "hardening of arteries".,Featured in Half in the Bag: 2021 Movie Catch-Up (part 1 of 2) (2022),An old geezer wanders around an amusement park for 50 minutes. There's something about it that feels hypnotic and intriguing though. Many of Romero's directorial flourishes and styles are rough and recognisable here, and there's a Horror/Nightmarish vibe to the whole thing. That being said, I kind of needed more from it to give it higher than an alright watch. Not a bad little lost project though, and there's at least a purpose to the whole picture.

5.5/10.,
