ThiefHott Too much of everything

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Smoreni Zmaj This is not horror. Zombie movie is just a package for the satire of the American system and modern politics in general. As a horror it is a complete failure, and as an anti-war film and political satire it could have been much better. I'm not sure whether the story of soldiers who are rising from the dead to vote against Bush is original or taken from somewhere, but it is too obvious, unfunny and cheap. While I fully support the message sent by this film, I think that it doesn't belong in a horror franchise.As a horror movie it deserves 3/10 and 7/10 for it's message and the way it's presented, so5/10

MARIO GAUCI Tolerable but only middling political satire (some time back I'd watched Dante's interesting THE SECOND CIVIL WAR [1997], also made for TV) which also manages to provide a twist on the typical zombie lore: American soldiers being killed in the current senseless war rise from the dead at the time of the oncoming elections to vote for a change (its late-night Italian TV screening on the eve of Barack Obama's long-awaited victory couldn't have been a coincidence)!! Its depiction of a person willing the dead back to life had been handled rather more stylishly in Bob Clark's DEATHDREAM (1974); Dante's film does have an effectively ironic revelation late in the game, but it's somewhat undone by the overbearing personality of the leading lady! As ever with Dante, in-jokes abound with respect to the names shown on the various gravestones: these obviously include such directors of zombie-related fare as John Gilling, Jacques Tourneur and G. A. Romero (the IMDb actually lists several others but I missed them somehow)!

noway234-1 This is what I look for in a horror film. This is exactly what I want in my horror. I want to see a film that doesn't skimp on the scare factor, but can add Comedy and drama at the same time. This film has some of the best moments I've seen in a horror flick for quite some time. Now I know what you're saying, why am I calling it a film when it is really just an hour long TV show? Well this, to me anyway, is a film, they just showed it on TV. It's so wonderfully shot and everything is just superb. They had great moments of horror (When one of the Zombies beat a guys head into a table, that was a shocker), brilliant subtle comedy (Putting an 'I Voted' sticker on a corpse just after it died) and some wonderful dramatic scenes (The old couple looking after a zombie who reminded them of their son brought me to tears). And it is political and it does it well. It makes it's political point and doesn't hold back on it, it never apologises for it's views and that's why I love it.

Michael_Elliott Homecoming (2005) *** (out of 4) Joe Dante's Masters of Horror entry is about a bunch of dead soldiers who return from the grave so that they can vote. I'm not really into the political message the film had but other than that I really enjoyed the film. Some of the humor doesn't work but for the most part the jokes as well as the message come off very well.I think this is still one of the better episodes, although I think Argento and Carpenter came off better with both of their films. I'm sure this one here will become a cult classic in the future.
