The Amusement Park
6.3/10
An elderly gentleman sets out for what he thinks will be a normal day at an amusement park and is soon embroiled in a waking nightmare.

It premiered at the American Film Festival in New York in June 1975 and was a finalist in the competition, but went otherwise unreleased. It was believed lost until a print was discovered in 2017, shortly before Romero's death. It was subsequently given a 4K restoration by IndieCollect, which premiered in 2019.]

Under the Scares
4.8/10
Cheap scares. Extreme Gore. Loads of nudity. These have been the three staples of low budget independent horror films since the 60's. But what's a filmmaker to do when, thanks to technology, ANYONE can make a film these days? Under The Scares offers an inside look into the production and promotion of an independent, ultra low-budget horror film, while combining interviews and insights from some of the genre's biggest legends - Lloyd Kaufman, Robert Kurtzman, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Frank Henenlotter, Gary Jones, and many many more.
Dead Eyes Open
3.5/10
Six young people on their way to a joint holiday - when the tank gets empty they find themselves stranded in the midst of an unknown wilderness. Everything looks perfect, but near an old graveyard Christin gets attacked by a deranged man and injured by his bite. Looking for help Web and Eddie discover an outlying house, its basement barricaded with solid perforated plates. Additionally a high metal fence seems to protect the shabby property from something.

They do not know that the strange lady is hiding something at her garden: Something that is hungry for human flesh. Alarmed, they discover something incredibly dangerous has already changed the whole world. Old-school horror movie filmed on grainy super 8 with slowly walking dead. Very fine traditional zombie story in the way of zombie master Romero.
