3.0 out of 5 starsAverage Independence Day Themed Horror Film For Comedy Horror Fans
By Kane's Review on July 4, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Somewhere in Kuwait during the Gulf War, a military unit uncovers and inspects an American helicopter that was accidentally shot down as a result of friendly fire. During the inspection, they find Master Sergeant Sam Harper's extra crispy, burnt, dying body, who springs to life and during his last breaths, kills a sergeant and major out of revenge before dying.

Weeks later, days before July 4th weekend, Sam's body is shipped back to the US to his family's home in Twin Rivers, New Jersey. His wife, Louise receives the casket containing his remains but upon discovering there's new room in her house for it, allows his sister, Sally to keep it who lives with her patriotic son, Jody. In addition to being pro-American, he also looked up to Sam as a role model, not knowing that Sam was a degenerative alcoholic who abused his wife and sister. And Jody absolutely hates it when anyone says anything negative about Sam, America, or war.

At midnight on July 4th, some degenerative teens are creeping around the graveyard, find an American flag and light it on fire. Some of the flames from the fire touch on Sam's empty grave, triggering Sam's corpse from within the casket to resurrect. Sam moves through the night and first kills some teenage kid in an Uncle Sam outfit and takes the outfit before.

The following afternoon on Independence Day at the town's local 4th of July picnic, Sam goes on a killing spree, killing anyone that crosses his path or who he sees as unpatriotic. With the body count quickly rising, young Jody learns the truth about who his uncle Sam (no pun intended) really was and his views of him change immediately.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsCohen and Lustig return with a serious-themed picture that ends up being too jocular and routine for its own good...
By Leslie Karen Rigsbey on January 24, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Disappointingly violent but nonetheless creative film from the celluloid-engulfed pen of Larry Cohen tells the pointed but not entirely serious story of a combat soldier returned home in a coffin--but old Sam may not be ready to take that final plunge into the stomach of the Earth, leading to much confusion, much madness, and much murder (some killings of which are not entirely unjustified here, considering the story's content).
Actual veterans may be slightly offended by it, and others may think that the film is simply too low in scale for their tastes, but essentially this is both a dark and funny movie (with a few gory after-kills and some brief female nudity thrown in) that could only have been dreamed up by the minds of both Cohen and director William Lustig. But I do agree with others that, on the whole, the film is disappointing. I have to confess that Lustig's "Maniac" was simply too anti-story for my taste, and while Cohen's script is more interested in narrative possibilities (a speech made by the Isaac Hayes character near the beginning is quite poignant really), this time there is simply a falling out of potential as the storyline progresses, as the movie continues to degenerate into a kind of slasher-movie-cum-revenge-story that is toying with the possibility of losing audience sympathy by the time it reaches its (rather predictable) conclusion. Larry Cohen may actually be weakening as a film writer, but he is far better than most mainstream screenwriters, even when he is at his most aloof--or rushed.
Again, though, what makes the disc a keeper for me (and almost made me consider boosting the star count up to four) is the wonderful audio commentary track, which features Lustig, Cohen, and a couple of other guys who worked on the movie.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsIt’s a pretty familiar refrain from me
By Matthew B. Wedge on May 3, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
It’s a pretty familiar refrain from me, but I wish Larry Cohen had directed Uncle Sam instead of simply writing it. There is a very subversive film to be made from his script that undercuts the faux-patriotism of blindly following your country’s government, no matter how morally questionable its actions. Cohen’s script also tries to graft on a critique of how the military might appeal to angry, violent young men and how the military sees them as useful assets in times of war. Both issues make for intriguing subtexts, but it seems like one too many elements for director William Lustig to wrangle into a coherent whole.

The rest of my review is on my site: http://obsessivemovienerd.com/2014/05/12/the-cohen-case-files-uncle-sam-1996/

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat movie....definitely worth seeing!
By Vincent Barbagallo on September 28, 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
After seeing a lot of mixed reviews on this movie, I decided to buy it. I was always interested in the story line as no horror flick has utilized "Uncle Sam" and Independence Day in a plot.
Contrary to some reviews, the acting is quite good (especially for a straight to video movie). This movie also has several sub-plots which is a rarity for horror.
The movie starts off a bit slow but quickly picks up the pace. There are some entertaining and creative ways Uncle Sam kills his victims. I won't spoil the movie and tell you, but you won't be disappointed.
All in all an excellent flick and I would definitely recommend it for your DVD collection.
I purchased a used copy on DVD and the movie looked and ran like it was brand new.

Get some popcorn and turn out the lights.....this movie will definitely become a classic in due time.
