HOMECOMING (2005)

Cast

Plot

One of the more controversial episodes of the series, Joe (Gremlins) Dante takes a swipe at the Iraq War in this tale of spin gone horribly wrong. Just a few weeks before a presidential election the incumbant Republican administration gives the media a sound-bite to die for, countering the growing opposition to the war POTUS (looking and sounding absolutely nothing like Bush Jr - I don't think!) tells his subjects that his greatest wish would be that all the fallen heroes would come home again and tell the world how proud they were to serve their country and die for freedom. The dead hear his wish and rise up, but these are not your ordinary zombies, they don't want your brains, they just want to vote. Of course, the government can't let that happen... Chilling and moving - Tony Blair take note.
