The small community of Eidolon Crossing once boasted a flourishing economy, fueled primarily by the rural amusement park Dogwood Park. Then the child murders began. Once the bodies of multiple murdered children were unearthed on the park’s property, attendance declined and the town quickly withered into poverty and ruin. Over the course of 35 years, 26 children disappeared at the hands of an elusive murderer and the decaying amusement park was dubbed Deadwood Park by the superstitious locals. Former resident Jake Richardson (William Clifton), returns to his parents’ dilapidated farmhouse to search for answers surrounding his twin brother’s childhood disappearance. Soon the spirits of the murdered children appear to Jake, luring him back to the decrepit grounds of Deadwood Park, in an attempt to uncover the horrific and homicidal secrets buried deep beneath Eidolon Crossing.
An atmospheric juggernaut shot on location at Midwestern drive-in theaters, creaky cabins, and an actual, overgrown abandoned amusement park (replete with crumbling coasters and rusted ferris wheels), Deadwood Park is a sweeping, gore-soaked, SOV folk horror epic from the visionary, Missouri based video auteur Eric Stanze (Savage Harvest, Scrapbook, Ratline). Evoking melancholic autumnal vibes, spine-tingling scares, and an overall sense of relentless dread, Deadwood Park found Stanze pushing his micro-budget DIY aesthetics to dizzying new heights; culminating in a sobering, supernatural metaphor for the child mortality that proliferates in the wake of war, dystopia, and economic blight. Saturn’s Core is proud to present the Blu-Ray debut of Deadwood Park, sporting a brand new restoration supervised by director Eric Stanze plus an accursed, buried chest of new and archival special features.
