William Lustig and Larry Cohen team up to bring you this curdled rumination on small-town Americana, jingoism, and the hell that is warfare.

Reinvigorates stale horror clichs 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.

Uncle Sam is at its best when it clumsily tackles serious subjects like the vague goals of modern warfare. Though its moments of horror are only mildly entertaining, the heavy themes and strange choices combine to make this an oddly watchable film.
