Happy 4th of July, everyone! Well, everyone who lives in America. How are we doing, Sri Lankan readership? Hopefully your 4 July has been peaceful and productive. Canada, was your own day a festive occasion on Friday?
But I digress. This post is dedicated to my fellow Americans who want a little bite with their hot dogs, swimming holes, and fireworks. Here are three films, streaming on Netflix, that will surely make your 4th of July one to remember.
Homecoming (Masters of Horror, Season 1)
What’s more patriotic than the right to vote? Fighting in war? The political machine? Bipartisan sensationalist news reporting? Well, you’re in luck, as Joe Dante’s excellent entry in the Masters of Horror series (based on a must read short story, “Death and Suffrage” by Dale Bailey) hits on all these points with dead veterans rising from the grave. It’s strange, creepy, and thought-provoking.
