George A. Romero’s THE AMUSEMENT PARK (2019)
June 4, 2021 : 8:30 pm
Almost completely unseen for nearly four decades, horror maestro George A. Romero’s “lost” masterpiece finally receives a long-overdue theatrical debut. Shot by George A. Romero between Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, THE AMUSEMENT PARK is a bleak, haunting allegory where the attractions and distractions of an amusement park stand in for the many abuses that the elderly face in society. Romero was originally commissioned to direct THE AMUSEMENT PARK by the Lutheran Society, which wanted to create a film to raise awareness about ageism and elder abuse. The director delivered an allegory about growing old that his widow, Suzanne, now says is “George’s most terrifying film…It has Romero’s unique footprint all over it.” 4K digital restoration commissioned by the George A. Romero Foundation and carried out by IndieCollect. A pre-recorded Q&A with the team behind the film will follow the film.
