RLJE Films: New 4K Restoration of George A. Romero's The Amusement Park Detailed for Blu-ray

RLJE Films, in association with Shudder, has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of George A. Romero's The Amusement Park (1975), starring Lincoln Maazel, Harry Albacker, Phyllis Casterwiler, Pete Chovan, and Marion Cook. The release will be available for purchase on September 13.

Official description: An elderly gentleman goes for what he assumes will be an ordinary day at the amusement park, only to find himself in the middle of a hellish nightmare instead.

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. New 4K digital restoration commissioned by the George A. Romero Foundation and carried out by IndieCollect.
