As an European watching this episode it was rather boring. The reason is simple, still people are having problems with the US attacking other countries and this is exactly what it is all about. Soldiers who were killed in action are coming back as zombies but not to bite but to demonstrate against the occupation of other countries. The effects used to create the zombies were rather good and believable and it even looked sometimes a bit gory but it's the story itself that tear this down. Simply because in the reelection of the US president political consultant David Murch says on air that the deceased should return from the grave to help him in the election, and we already know that they do return to vote against the president.Have seen it all before in flicks about soldiers coming back from Vietnam and are cast out of society, from hero to scum. A typical US problem still living with the fights going on in Irak. A very political episode only for Americans to watch. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 4/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Having been a horror fan forever, I have come to expect as others a few good scares and predictability in the genre but what I do not expect to find are tears and sympathy. I enjoy horror movies because I rarely get scared if at all< comes from having worked in a county morgue as a youngster> and so am well prepared. However I was not prepared for what the director Joe Dante had in store for me in the restaurant scene< spoiler alert>. The scene entails a young, zombie, soldier wandering the streets in the rain because he has no place to go. Next a black café owner welcomes the young soldier in from the cold and invites him to rest. Him and his wife tell the young soldier they appreciate him, which surprises him and empathy is developed. The soldier finds out that their son is in the war and the parents show the zombie respect for doing what he did. Whether it was because the café owners were black and remember what discrimination is like or simply because of their son, the viewer is left to wonder but I was extremely touched. The acting was well cast and on a scale of 1-10 tyger tails, I give it a 9/////Tygerprince///////

This is what I look for in a horror film. This is exactly what I want in my horror. I want to see a film that doesn't skimp on the scare factor, but can add Comedy and drama at the same time. This film has some of the best moments I've seen in a horror flick for quite some time. Now I know what you're saying, why am I calling it a film when it is really just an hour long TV show? Well this, to me anyway, is a film, they just showed it on TV. It's so wonderfully shot and everything is just superb. They had great moments of horror (When one of the Zombies beat a guys head into a table, that was a shocker), brilliant subtle comedy (Putting an 'I Voted' sticker on a corpse just after it died) and some wonderful dramatic scenes (The old couple looking after a zombie who reminded them of their son brought me to tears). And it is political and it does it well. It makes it's political point and doesn't hold back on it, it never apologises for it's views and that's why I love it.

Okay, it features one lovely blink-and-you-miss-it-joke (when the dead are rising from their tombs, the names of the old time "horror" directors like Jacques Tournier and Jean Yarborough are featured in the tombstones) and the smashing of morally bankrupt Repu/con/rightist villains is on-target: whorish skanks preaching morals etc. But why these soldiers are anti-Republicans? Because they have gone to the war, most of them should be Republicans, right? Why they don't go to killing the enemies who killed them or something? Why they ALL want to vote against the Republicans? Why this story has made of a movie? Questions never answered...
