Have you guys heard of this movie "Homecoming?" I saw an ad for it today and was wondering if anyone knew about it. I guess the concept is that soldiers that have been killed in
Iraq, come back from the dead with only one purpose... to vote. And, the Conservative administration do everything in their power to stop them. I mean, finally a story where the only thing more dangerous than the zombies are the Republicans! :-P

The ad said it was part of Showtime's "Masters of Horror" series and it's coming out on DVD. Oh, and it's directed by the guy that did "Gremlins." Brilliant!

Anyway, I've just been poking around to see if anyone's seen it and could tell me how it is. Sounds awesome!

here's a moviedatabase.com review of the one hour episode from Showtime's "Masters of Horror" Series:

This one had us laughing our asses off and thinking as well. An unexpected dose of satire, wit and political commentary wrapped up into a clever and poignant piece that will be doubly enjoyed by zombie fans and anti Bush people. A few touching moments are also to be found as are a high level of self aware campiness and intelligent parody. Not a horror per se, but a fun piece nonetheless and good fodder for the typical horror junkie wanting to partake in some lighter fare. This is a real popcorn piece and may be desirable to those who loved "They Live" or any old zombie picture for that matter. The zombies are not particularly scary, but the new twist had us thoroughly enjoying this one and as long as the tongue remains planted firmly in the cheek it's one to watch. Recommended!
