10 Incredible Performances In Recent Horror Movies

No other horror movie this year is anything like The Amusement Park, which was shot in 1975 by the late, great George A. Romero, though considered lost until a print was discovered in 2017.

Though Romero was originally commissioned to make the film as a PSA about elder abuse, it was eventually shelved after financiers saw the hypnotic, disturbing end result.

Almost 50 years later, it's finally been released and has largely received rave reviews from genre fans, praising it as a uniquely unsettling horror and a masterful posthumous swan song from Romero.

Though technically rough around the edges, The Amusement Park sings on the strength of Lincoln Maazel, who stars as an elderly man spending the day at a hellish amusement park where he's subjected to rampant prejudice and abuse because of his age.

Incredibly Maazel, who was already 70 years of age at the time of filming, only passed away back in 2009 at the age of 106, but it's a deep shame that he never lived to see how the film and his performance have come to be embraced.

Maazel, who only ever acted three times on-screen - including a part in Romero's Martin the very next year - gives a truly heartbreaking performance that earns Romero's experimental horror film its screaming soul.
