SOURCE-RLJE Blu ray
Yea I saw this what was it now 2 years ago when it debuted on Shudder. Wasn't that into it. Neat to see a lost Romero film but nothing about it stood out to me. Waited forever for it to hit Blu ray. Then saw it was going to be like 25 bucks. Nope not paying that much for a film that is barely an hour.
Then late one night the host of Exploited Cinema clued me in that Amazon had it for 15 bucks. That is the right price grabbed it. And since then watched it a pile.
The film was made for some church group to help the elderly. And it is horrific. Very metaphoric stuff. Seeing old folks sell their treasured possessions for a few tickets so they can eat and ride stuff in the amusement park. And how the richer old folk get it much nicer.
Betting when George Romero handed this in the group that comissioned it were surprised. Cause it feels nothing like any PSA or PUblic Service film I have ever seen.
Thankfully this release is packed with extras. commentary,piles of longish features. And just all kinds of stuff.
Worth seeing if you are a Romero fan. But don't go in expecting Of the Dead no think more Season of the Witch or Knightriders.
The Amusement Park gets a B-.
