“Hellish” & “Merciless” Unreleased George A. Romero Film will Finally See the Light of Day?
When George A. Romero passed away in 2017, he left behind dozens of unmade screenplays, an unfinished novel, and an unreleased film, produced in the early 1970s, called Amusement Park. When Romero’s widow Suzanne Desrocher-Romero hired Guillermo del Toro collaborator Daniel Kraus to complete the novel, she also graced him with a private screening of Amusement Park. Now, the filmmaker is championing the unseen film’s release (via Twitter), describing it in legendary terms.
“With the exception of Night of the Living Dead -maybe- The Amusement Park is Romero’s most overtly horrifying film. Hugely upsetting in form & function.”
“It was never shown publicly. The people who funded it wouldn’t allow it. And no wonder. It’s hellish. In Romero’s long career of criticizing American institutions, never was he so merciless.”
“It’s dangerous and uncomfortable.”
