The Star-Spangled Shocker From The Creators Of MANIAC COP

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!

Timothy Bottoms (THE LAST PICTURE SHOW), Bo Hopkins (THE WILD BUNCH), William Smith (FAST COMPANY), P.J. Soles (HALLOWEEN, CARRIE) and Oscar® nominee Robert Forster (JACKIE BROWN) co-star in this zombie horror hit directed by William Lustig (MANIAC, RELENTLESS) and written by Larry Cohen (GOD TOLD ME TO, THE STUFF). Now Blue Underground is thrilled to present UNCLE SAM in a sparkling new 25th Anniversary restoration, scanned in 4K 16-bit from the original 35mm negative, with Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio, loaded with illuminating Extras!

Press Quotes

A Unique Ride For Horror Fans!

     —All Movie Guide

Scary, Silly Fun... A Damn Fine Fright Flick!

     —DVD Verdict

An Entertaining Film... Lustig keeps the action moving, with convincing special effects and stuntwork and a fun supporting cast of character actors!

     —TV Guide

UNCLE SAM is the best kind of B-movie, one that reinvigorates stale horror clichés via both tongue-in-cheek social commentary and an unironic, unbridled love for blood-and-guts mayhem!

     —Lessons of Darkness

Excellent filmmakers, great cast, always a mystery why this horror classic didn't get a theatrical break.   One of those great mysteries of life.

     —DVD And Blu-ray Release Report

This is really a fantastic release...the definitive edition. Uncle Sam is an insanely fun trip down memory lane.

     —Corey Danna, Horror Geek Life

Uncle Sam is definitely an unrated gem that deserves to be given a reassessment, especially for fans of Lustig and Cohen. The UHD disc's transfer is flawless. High Recommendations!!!

     —A. W. Kautzer, The Movie Isle

...a cult classic...Blue Underground has managed to make another breathtaking 4K transfer on this film.

     —Hardcore Graveyard

Ultimately, Uncle Sam is a highly entertaining film that fans of William Lustig and Larry Cohen should thoroughly enjoy.

     —Michael Den Boer, 10k Bullets

If you like slasher movies that are based around holidays I think you will get just as much of a kick out of Uncle Sam as I did. It could be the very best 4th of July-themed horror movie that has ever been made.

     —Zombies Don't Run

The real star of the show in this release is the stellar 4K presentation, and should be your main reason for picking up this release...

     —Sam Cohen, Edge Media Network

Uncle Sam teeters on brilliance...

     —Matt Poprocki, DoBlu.com

Uncle Sam is an over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek satire about American's obsession with military dominance and the great lengths the nation will go in order to appeal to the country's youth.

     —Harley Lond, Film Crave

...the UHD is excellent and belongs on every genre fan's shelf.

     —Rob Hunter, Film School Rejects

Uncle Sam shines in 4K Ultra HD in a way that will surprise even the most jaded of horror fans, especially those who saw the film when it was originally released and haven’t looked at it since. As is their forte, Blue Underground offers a quality presentation with good extras in an attractive package.

     —Tim Salmons, The Digital Bits

Uncle Sam contains all of the ingredients that one would expect and want from a William Lustig novel. Most notably, thrilling action setpieces, gory kill scenes, and moments of well-placed subversive humor.

     —Michael Den Boer, 10k Bullets

It’s a great choice for fans of William Lustig’s filmography, slasher fans who want to try out something outside the genre mainstream, or just general horror fans looking for something fun to watch over the summer.

     —Lucas Henkel, DVD Review
