The Amusement Park
1973
Synopsis
A senior gentleman goes for what he assumes will be an ordinary afternoon at the amusement park, only to find himself in a hellish nightmare instead. Thrown into a world where nobody cares about the elderly, the man must endure ruthless bikers, cynical fortune tellers, and deadly rollercoasters.
Editorial
When the Lutheran Society commissioned an educational film about the aged, they weren’t—somewhat naively—expecting George A. Romero to deliver a horror movie. A mischievous societal satire, The Amusement Park forges a disturbing link between elderly abuse and the rampant imperatives of capitalism.
