Overview: Showtime has amassed some of the greatest horror film writers and directors to bring to you the anthology series, "Masters of Horror". For the first time the foremost names in the horror film genre have joined forces for the series consisting of 13 one-hour films each season.

DVD Verdict: 'Homecoming' is an astonishing piece of work by screenwriter Sam Hamm and director Joe Dante. They use the horror-film format to deal with the horrors our nation has experienced in the last several years -- an unelected regime inflicting a senseless war on the world while stigmatizing political opposition as unpatriotic. Dante and Hamm, drawing from the story "Death and Suffrage" by Dale Bailey, show dead soldiers coming back from Iraq to try to stop the carnage. These zombies are treated sympathetically -- they're not out for blood, they're soldiers out to restore the democratic values for which they thought they were fighting. Dante has long proven himself a master of both horror and satire, and here he perfectly balances his complex cinematic style to make a film that is deeply serious, compassionate, and moving -- as well as wildly funny in a black-comedy vein. Since it would be hard to get financing for a large-scale mainstream Hollywood film directly confronting these issues, HOMECOMING is these guerrilla filmmakers' alternative way of bringing the truth to our screens. Anyone who attacks this film as "unpatriotic" is willlfully or perhaps disingenously missing the point. This is a truly patriotic film, one filled with a mournful love for our country and an anger over what it has become.
