What The Amusement Park offers is not only a dizzying, and at times disturbing look at the world through the eyes of our most vulnerable but a reminder that Romero was one of the best when it came to mixing genre and message.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 4, 2024

Romero’s movies have a workshop feel to them, which elevates the horror to a startlingly realistic terror as if it was being documented live.

Thanks to their need to propagandize, these films often lack nuance and are tonally dull, and some of them even lack creativity. Romero refuses to let The Amusement Park fall into this trap at every turn.

A surrealist nightmare where one septuagenarian has the worst time at an amusement park since the Griswolds went on Vacation... a fascinating curiosity and a must-see for Romero fans.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 12, 2022

A film that once seemed lost to time, The Amusement Park is by no means the best work from the great director George Romero though it remains an enthralling and interesting look at what it means to age.

While fundamentally allegorical in nature, The Amusement Park is nevertheless a visceral film that puts into stark relief the manner in which the elderly are mistreated socially, psychologically, and physically.

The recent discovery/restoration of Romero's 1973 industrial film The Amusement Park showcases his ability to depict true, nightmarish vistas.

Don't let the fifty two minute run-time fool you. This may be a flick that does not require a long watch, but it will take residence in your mind for days to come.

"The Amusement Park" is the only one of Romero's films that feels deliberately episodic without losing its through-line.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 16, 2021

With a relatively short running time of 52 minutes, The Amusement Park is a must-see for horror/George Romero enthusiasts.

The Amusement Park may be the most viscerally effective educational film ever made.
