Closed for the Season Reviews
10 of 12 people found the following review helpful By BMT330 (Illinois) - See all my reviews This review is from: Closed For The Season (DVD) This movie was just awful!The acting was horrible; the plot & characters were undeveloped. The only redeeming quality of this movie is the setting - Chippewa Lake Park was a great place, both before and after it closed in 1976. The movie is worth a watch ONLY because of the setting. It's too bad something more worthwhile could not have been filmed there before the park was completely torn down. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Closed For The Season (DVD) I couldn't wait to see this! I read so much about Chippewa Lake Park that the thought of seeing this was inspired! There are extras included on the DVD that include "deleted scenes" and a 1993 visit throught the abandoned park in the hopes of re-opening it but the detoriation was much more than anticipated, so it never happened. The movie itself had its moments, but as one reviewer said, the acting leaves something to be desired. I liked it for the fact that it was filmed there, for the most part. The fun house scene however, is the old bath house, as the fun house had collapsed over the years.If you're a fan of old abandoned parks, this one's for you! 4 of 6 people found the following review helpful By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Closed For The Season (DVD) What a disappointment. The idea of the haunted abandoned amusement park sounds great, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The acting was wooden, the plot wandered, and it just wasn't scary (and I'm told I'm an easy scare!). I hoped at least the atmosphere and location would make it worth the watch, but mostly all we see is a lot of trees and swampy water, oh, and buildings that are falling down. |
