In this heavily politicized chiller David Merch, a political figure and presidential speech writer, makes the mistake of wishing that all of the soldiers who died during the war could come back to express their gratitude for serving their country. Little did David know, that wish was about to come true. While on a talk show David talked to a woman whos son was killed in the war and he told her he wished the deceased soldiers could come back and two days later, they did just that.
Two days after the on-air wish strange things started to happen. Dead soldiers at a military base began to rise from their coffins and attack other men on the base. Soon there were hundreds of zombie soldiers roaming the streets wanting their voices to be heard. David gets a phone call from one of his co workers named Kurt and tells him that they have a situation. David arrives at a makeshift lab to discover one of the zombie soldiers on a table. Kurt tells David they the zombie soldiers cannot be killed and shoots the one on the table several times. The following day they found out exactly why the soldiers came back..they wanted to vote in the presidential election.
David gets a call from Kurt and he tells him to turn on the tv and he when he does he sees one of the zombie soldiers speaking and saying that they want to vote for anyone that will end the war. David begins to feel guilt and tells his co workers that it's his fault that the soldiers came back and that it was because of his wish that they did. Kurt decided kidnap the woman who spoke to David on the talk show and he went and got her dead son from the military base. He made the woman talk to her son on the phone and have her convince her son to read their statement on air. After he agreed he spazzed and killed Kurt before being hauled away.
David goes on the talk show again and gets questioned about his brother serving and dying in Vietnam. The host told him that his brothers name wasn't on the wall and David sits there, stunned. The host then tells him that his brother was dishonorably discharged and was sent home. David's mom admits to him that his brother did come home but he wasn't the same person anymore. Just then David had a flashback of himself accidently shooting his brother because he thought he was playing a game. He begins to feel guilty for the zombie soldiers so he convinced everyone to let the soldiers vote. The soldiers voted and shortly after they did, they died because they got the chance for their voices to be heard.
The election was going on and David's side was falling behind so Kathy, one of his co workers, rigged the election so that the dead soldiers votes weren't counted and their side ended up winning. After the win they were celebrating when his friend Jane told David that she got his job because Kathy told her that he quit. Just then Jane got a call from Kathy saying she was getting on a helicopter and leaving because the zombie soldiers were coming back to life and bringing reinforcements from other wars with them. She advised Jane to leave too. So Jane and David were driving down the road when they saw one of the zombie soldiers. Jane saw it first and swerved to hit it. As they hit the soldier they wrecked the car. They got out to get help when Jane saw an Army vehicle coming down the road. It was only after the soldiers started piling out that she realized what was happening. She got guns from her trunk and instructed David to shoot. He told Kathy that he was sorry and that he never should have opened his mouth and then proceeded to shoot her in the back of the head. He turned the gun on himself...
Well now, if you are that curious as to what happened how about you give Homecoming a watch?? Now then, onto what I thought. I'll be honest, I was convinced that I wasn't going to like it as soon as I read what it was about. I'm not one for politics and don't get me wrong, I'm not unpatriotic or anything, but I really thought I wasn't gonna like this at all. I was wrong. I kind of agree with the politics in this movie, which is strange seeing as how I really don't care about any of it. Basically they were saying that the war is unecessary and I totally agree. Overall I'd give Homecoming a solid 3 out 5. The special effects make up was awesome. The zombie soldiers looked great and the wounds and everything looked so real. There wasn't a whole lot of blood, but thats ok. No sex or nekkidness, just some whipping, hot candle wax and nipple clamps...don't ask...just watch. And as always be sure to check out Zombie Zanes stuff and you know the drill, check back next week for all new stuff here at Dead End Horror.
BTW....Here's a lil something for you to watch before you go. THE ZOMBIE NATION DANCE!!
