Shudder To Release Lost George A. Romero Movie ‘The Amusement Park’

In 1973, genre icon George A. Romero made the film The Amusement Park, but it was never released, until now. Shudder is set to release the film this summer, Variety reports. The film was commissioned by the Lutheran Society, which hired Romero to make a socially conscious movie meant to draw attention to the plight of the elderly in contemporary society. However, after watching it, the non-profit group decided it was too gruesome for mainstream audiences and it never was released. Lincoln Maazel stars as an elderly man who becomes increasingly disoriented during a visit to a theme park. What he initially thinks will be an ordinary day quickly turns into a hellish nightmare filled with roller coasters and chaotic crowds. The film was discovered back in 2018 by longtime Guillermo del Toro collaborator Daniel Kraus and was restored in 4K Ultra. Romero’s widow, Suzanne Desrocher-Romero, produces the film. This is not the only lost Romero project recently brought to

The Golden Globe Nominated Horror ‘La Llorona’ Is Coming To Digital

RLJE Films is set to unleash the politically charged Golden Globe nominated horror film La Llorona this March. La Llorona blends together the terror of both myth and reality into a devastating exposé of the genocidal atrocities against the Mayan community in Guatemala. Through a modern retelling of the classic Latin American legend, La Llorona forces a reckoning with not-so-distant crimes that should not have ever have been forgotten. The story centers on indignant retired general Enrique who finally faces trial for the genocidal massacre of thousands of Mayans decades ago. As a horde of angry protestors threatens to invade their opulent home, the women of the house – his haute wife, conflicted daughter, and precocious granddaughter – weigh their responsibility to shield the erratic, senile Enrique against the devastating truths behind being publicly revealed and the increasing sense that a wrathful supernatural force is targeting them for his crimes. Meanwhile, much of the family’s domestic staff flee, leaving only
