Cinematic Masterpiece

This movie was filmed in an old abandoned amusement park in Ohio. Though a low budget film the story and acting are first rate. In fact, the motion picture debut of Mike Nugent (of Brewkah Assault pod-cast fame) is something that Hollywood will definitely take note of. Nooj as Wackles the Clown is captivating and this movie is a must see for fans of not only the genre but fans of immense talent. Nooj, a local legend of the Cleveland underground, takes the viewer on a journey that is very seldom ably piloted by a newcomer. In a film loaded with talent, dear sweet Nooj's gift takes us on a journey of self discovery. From his sad frown to his wide eyed stare, his role completes the film. We must all thank CLOSED for the Season because it has OPENED our hearts...to Nooj. Closed For The Season and Brewkah Assault, come for thrill, stay for the Nooj.
