Homecoming
Director: Joe Dante
Year Released: 2005
Rating: 2.0
Quick and cheap Showtime special from Dante is cheeky if a bit too slight (he was, after all, given only an hour to make this): undead soldiers return from an illegal war (cough, cough) to not exactly murder politicians but actually vote (!) in the next election. Caricatures abound - you have your Karl Rove, your Ann Coulter, your Larry King - and it's not exactly subtle: anyone (and I mean anyone) should be able to figure out how it ties into the Iraq Occupation (and it's also exactly a 'horror' film - more of an exercise in 'moral horror'). Least surprising part: Coulter has an S&M fetish.
