My friends were all talking about the scene where the guy in the Uncle Sam costume (not the killer) on stilts is peeping into the hot naked girls bedroom as the most memorable part and I’m just like “yeah but did you guys notice how she has a fucking sink in her bedroom right next to her bed without even a nightstand between them?!”
I don’t know why I’m like this.

What scares me almost more than anything is when the flags changed. I grew up on US Military Bases during the Cold War, and along with a constancy of anti-Communist rhetoric, there were American Flags everywhere. After September 11, 2001, for years and years so many American Flags were handed out at every public gathering that in the aftermath, they littered the streets. Cars unavoidably drove over them, they blew away in the wind. We were told that 'this is America! Love it or leave it!' in response to any sort of criticism, as if leaving were an option, as if the union was voluntary. I've never been a flag respecter. I stopped saying the Pledge at 12 during the…

I love Larry Cohen and Bill Lustig so much—tbh I wish they made a dozen Uncle Sam sequels featuring Michael Moriarty and Robert Z’Dar in every damn one. This is totally my bullshit and as festive as I get as far as July 4th goes. Also there’s too many low star ratings for this... smh.

Inheritance taxes are so high that the happiest mourner at a rich man's funeral is usually Uncle Sam.
Oops, instead of 4th of July I saw this on 4th of June.

They pin a ribbon on him, send him home, and tell him never to be crazy again..."

This is just my kind of July 4th celebration: silly, gory, and featuring Isaac Hayes.

"I WANT YOU...DEAD!"
Uncle Sam is one of those magically unclassifiable direct to video oddities that I remember fondly from the 90s video store days. The type of film that was super common during those classic 90s sleepovers! Alongside such films as Jack Frost and Ice Cream Man these batch of video shelf mainstays were delightfully twisted in their own unique ways. They carried over a lot of the trademarks of 80s horror yet they gravitated into a more kid friendly direction. And that juxtaposition of gory violence and light hearted family fun is where the magic is.
Tonally bizarre it feels like a mix of an Are You Afraid of the Dark episode and an 80s slasher. And given…
