Considered lost for over 40 years, George A. Romero's debut film, The Amusement Park, has been rediscovered and restored.
According to Bloody Disgusting website, The Amusement Park was originally commissioned by the Lutheran Society to highlight elder abuse, but was later considered so shocking it was never released. The premise is described as : 'The Amusement Park stars Lincoln Maazel as an elderly man who finds himself disoriented and increasingly isolated as the pains, tragedies, and humiliations of aging in America are manifested through roller coasters and chaotic crowds.'
The 4K print has reportedly been purchased by Yellow Veil Productions and will be released on all platforms later this year.
