Deadwood Park Blu-ray brings a sweeping shot-on-video folk horror epic to disc, newly restored under the supervision of director Eric Stanze. Set against the ruins of a once-thriving rural community, the film blends regional mythology, supernatural dread, and DIY filmmaking ambition into a uniquely melancholic vision of decay and loss.
 
The town of Eidolon Crossing collapsed after a series of child disappearances were traced back to its local amusement park, once known as Dogwood Park. Decades later, former resident Jake Richardson returns home to confront the mystery surrounding his twin brother’s disappearance. As spectral visions draw him toward the abandoned park, buried secrets and unresolved horrors begin to surface beneath the rusting rides and collapsing structures.
 
Shot on location at Midwestern drive-ins, abandoned amusement parks, and rural backroads, Deadwood Park represents one of Stanze’s most ambitious works, expanding the emotional and thematic reach of SOV horror. Saturn’s Core presents the film on Blu-ray for the first time, featuring a new restoration and an expansive collection of archival and newly produced extras.
