WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

An elderly gentleman (Maazel) 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…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

This is your chance to see a very rare outing from the late horror maestro George A. Romero, who made the film back in 1973 only for it to be shelved for almost fifty years due to disturbing content – which only makes us all the more curious!
