Midnight Mayhem featuring your host Chaz Kangas

After enjoying the July 4th fireworks downtown outside The Main Cinema, see the most explosive direct-to-video Fourth-of-July themed slasher 1996 had to offer, Uncle Sam! When a corpse killed by friendly fire comes back to life after being returned home in time for an Independence Day celebration, it puts on a patriotic costume and starts putting down bodies! Standing in its way is a veritable character actor hall of fame including Isaac Hayes, PJ Soles, Bo Hopkins, Timothy Bottoms, and Robert Forster. Written by Larry Cohen (It's Alive) and directed by William Lustig (Maniac) who together previously gave the world Maniac Cop.

ABOUT THE FILM

It’s Fourth Of July Weekend, and the recently discovered corpse of Sgt. Sam Harper – killed by ‘friendly fire’ during the first Gulf War – is returned to his all-American hometown. But when Sam rises from the dead to punish the unpatriotic, only his young nephew and a bitter Korean War veteran (Soul icon Isaac Hayes of SHAFT and SOUTH PARK fame) can stop his red-blooded rampage. Draft dodgers, tax cheats, crooked politicians and flag-burners beware: Uncle Sam wants you… DEAD!
