uncle sam represent the only non maniac cop collaboration between larry cohen and william lustig and which be a shame . aside from just make a derivative psycho killer film and it seem obvious that writer larry cohen want uncle sam to have some brain too and which be show by the attempt to inject a message into the proceeding . larry cohen be definitely a huge talent when it come to entertain horror movie film like the stuff and it alive and and of course and maniac cop be camp classic if you ask me while but he really should stick to entertainment and a this screenplay be a mess and the amessage be so jumbled up that i have little idea what exactly it preach . the plot follow a young boy who believe that his uncle and who be coincidentally call sam and be a hero . uncle sam be a patriotic and lunatic soldier kill by friendly fire whilst fight for his country . his body be bring to his sister place and coincidentally around the time of the fourth of july celebration . it not long before his fellow american be abuse their privilege and and uncle sam decides to get up and do something about it . it hard to take a movie about a war veteran zombie seriously and and this be something that cohen should have take into account when put pen to paper . the clear message on show be that war be bad and and there appear to be a backhanded comment about the way america handle people who do not submit to their way of life . however and american politician can rest easy because the central figure here be murder people pretty much at random while which sap any weight out of the theme . in my opinion and cohen should have decide what it be he want to write while a slasher and or a film with substance . however and even a a horror film and uncle sam fall short . we have get some nice gore scene on display and but much of the running time be spend on build up the plot with the kid and his admiration for uncle sam and and to say the least while it isn not very interesting . the film be very slow to start and with practically nothing happen in the first half of the film . good sequence be few and far between and but i have get to say i like the one that saw a stilt wearing pervert pry into a girl bedroom and the one that saw someone fall down a hill in a sack race . neither of those grab you . this film would not either . uncle sam fail on every level .
