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!

Was really pleased with this film, had some of the best filming at the now abandoned Chippewa Lake Park. I at first thought that there was alot of work involved building the rides and fun houses for this film, but then found out later that this was actually a long abandoned amusement park that was closed down 30 years ago. The scenery couldn't have been any better and the filming was of the best. I really thought that the main actor was Joe Unger (the carny)... excellent acting... top notch. The very cute couple Aimee Brookes, and Damian Maffei, were also really great with their acting. Was just wishing that their love and affection between them could have been built upon more... with maybe some more sensuous love making scenes. Some parts of the film were a little hard to understand and i wonder if maybe there was some re-editing that may have occured... or maybe some scenes were cut. A little bit of continuity problems, with jumping back in forth in time. Found it a little hard to understand what happened early on between the younger kids. Overall great storyline, and fantastic filming...great film for a couple looking to spend some time watching horror movies.

I wish the movie took off more. I went to this park long ago when it was open as a kid . I then went back with photographers from Akron U. 13 years after it closed for the season. I made a video when there was still a lot of the park buried in the woods. Strange ,but I told the lady I was dating that was visiting park with me " this could be about the best place to make a Horror Movie" then a few years later the ballroom gets burnt down by arsonist, and what little is left after vandals destroy is left for this movie . It's sad once such a great park has been reduced to a fainted memory, and the only socialization people have from this spot in history is a faded memory. This movie gives at least a last breath of air to what is now been lost in time. I will admit it was getting really creepy there toward dusk, and I and my date had no problem deciding to get away from it fast. Had a really creepy feeling. the exterior of the ballroom looked like something you wanted to not venture too close to. I wish the filmmaker would have just been able to get there a few years sooner,they would have had much more to work with! Now even Geauga Lake is a faded memory so sad. The last one surviving is Conneaut Lake, and lets just hope volunteers, and the respected efforts of staff can keep it going. It is the BEST haunted attraction during HALLOWEEN plus the movie "The Road' had a scene filmed there. Unfortunately again arson took away the Ballroom, and now Beach club. seems really unfair that patrons are punished by sick minded people playing with matches!

This movie is cheesy and campy, just the way I like them - the best part is that I live 10 minutes down the road from Chippewa Lake Park, and have explored the abandoned grounds several times among the years, and it was awesome to see it show up in this.

The acting is on par with this style of movie, and it's just what you'd expect. If you like campy horror flicks, or even abandonded places/amusement parks, it's definitely worth checking out.

Great movie for roller coaster/amusement park fans! Being shot at the closed for 30+ years Chippewa Park makes it awesome. Very good footage of the park including the remaining rides that closed with the park back in 1978! The scenery couldn't be better for a horror movie set in an abandonned amusement park. The story is good although a little confusing and the music by the producer is awesome! Actor Joe Unger as "the carny" is in my opinion just amazing. Also the DVD has special features including a 2008 scout to Chippewa before shooting the movie and a 1993 documentary of Chippewa. Totally worth watching it!

I had to give one star to be able to write this review. But this is a ZERO video!! My 10 year old grandson and I read Mary Hahn books for young people...and CLOSED FOR THE SEASON was a book we just finished. He was so excited to find a video "of the book we had read"---about two middle school boys and their adventures involving a run down amusement park. Well...the title is the same, the video.shows an old amusement park....but that is it. Not same characters. Not same story. Nothing. Nada. WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK. Mary Hahn needs to sue somebody!!

If you've seen or read Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Circus of (film: Seven Faces of) Dr. Lao, Vampire Circus or Carnival of Souls, you will have an idea as to the kind of ground your mind will be treading on in this film. Spiritually the movies shares themes with Burton's Big Fish with the implied theme of the power of storytelling. Whether you want to call it part ghost-story or part carnival from hell, Closed For The Season unfortunately never seems to find its focus or footing.
The Positives: Very surreal, lots of interesting imagery, the dialogue is well-written and often even poetic and thought provoking. There's probably even a metaphor lurking about in the narrative somewhere. Joe Unger, as the Carny, absolutely owns this film.
The Downers: The narrative, though surreal, is so disjointed at times that you may be left wondering if the producer/director had an idea for a story at all; heck, you might even be left wondering if there was even any story in the first place, or just a bunch of cool scenes strung together. The ending doesn't exactly tie up the movie, though there is a connection between that and the opening scene. The dialogue is well-written, but it is often onerous and slows the action and tension down.
