Masters Of Horror - Series 1 Episode 6

Homecoming
Dir: Joe Dante

The dead soldiers from an ongoing war rise from their graves and return to America. But all they want is the chance to cast their vote against the war in the upcoming general election.
Another disappointing episode in the series, which is a shame seeing as it's directed by Joe Dante of Gremlins fame. The story is just an excuse for some political propaganda and anti-war sentiment, which ruins what otherwise could have been a clever idea. There are some good scenes, but the subject matter needed to be handled gently instead of being hammered home. The acting is poor and it wastes any opportunities it has to be scary.
