MASTERS OF HORROR: HOMECOMING
Homecoming is less a horror film than a sharply satirical comedy with tragic undertones. Dante has created a political parable with genuine emotional force as well as glinting moral clarity. Zombie films, of course, have long shown a peculiar affinity for political allegory, but Dante dispenses with suggestions and symbols: His protagonist is David Murch, a cynical political operative in a highly Bushian White House whose theatrical wish on a television talk show - that his older brother, a deceased Vietnam veteran, could come back to life to vote for our current illustrious leader - is unexpectedly granted. This isn't the first time that Dante has brought politics into his work, but with Homecoming, it is no longer a question of slyly smuggling meanings into genre pieces, but of a filmmaker openly speaking his mind on a red-hot subject, something that has seldom if ever happened in Hollywood.
