Uncle Sam may never be widely considered as a classic horror flick, but it's leaps and bounds better than the usual crap that's shoved down our throats.
The worst of everything in the slasher subgenre consolidated into 89 endless minutes.
Reinvigorates stale horror clichés via both tongue-in-cheek social commentary and an unironic, unbridled love for blood-and-guts mayhem.
Lustig's surprisingly evocative widescreen compositions are peppered with an absurd parade of Americana.
Gruesome gore with a patriotic slant.
If you're looking for a campy slasher film with bad acting, atrocious plot holes, and a healthy helping of humor, then Uncle Sam wants you.
