This is one of those movies that for years and years I've seen in video stores and online but never actually got around to watching it but finally I found it on youtube and I've been on a 90's horror movie exploration considering I always focused on the 80's so thought it was time to look at the 1990's.
When I started watching this it was kind of annoying mostly the kid Jody who was so over the top patriotic and obsessive about his uncle Sam that was killed in action in Kuwait and this attention on this character went on for about a half hour which at this point I was like this is so stupid but at about the 40 minute point things switch gears and the uncle Sam character emerges and starts killing the residents of the town many of which are unpatriotic and crap on the veterans and American anthem and so fourth,the killings are very creative its not your typical quick cliche stabbing or anything like that very elaborate which is exciting and while this is happening the killer is among the residents but they don't have a clue of what is happening except for a blind kid and a war veteran that knew the Sam character these these three including Jody team up to stop the evil Sam.
All in all this is worth seeing just to say you've seen it some people would appreciate it more than others but for me its just passable I would say that another horror flick from the same era called night of the scarecrow (1995) is better than this.
