Homecoming Reviews
Horror has the capacity to be a truly subversive genre, and no film makes this point quite as blow to the head bluntly, as Joe Dante's Homecoming, the first film to be screamed in the series on Friday, January 13th.

This ripoff of "Misery" will make you miserable. Paul Chambers, CNN.
| Original Score: D+ | May 1, 2010
...there is so little new or innovative about it that if you're a normal moviegoer, you've seen it all before.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 12, 2010
Rent Obsessed instead. That one you can at least laugh at.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 7, 2009
Too lazy, preposterous and inane to even be considered as a guilty pleasure.
| Original Score: 3.5/10 | Jul 22, 2009
Neither trashy nor self-consciously funny enough to make its genre-trapped ludicrousness sing.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 20, 2009
The movie takes a premise that might have served as the basis of a weepy romantic drama and turns it into something very different, but no less insulting.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 17, 2009
When is a movie remake not a movie remake? When the filmmakers involved know what they've made is so wretched they don't dare admit it. The most oblivious M온라인카지노추천 viewer won't miss the blatant plagiarism.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 17, 2009
Rooted by a nice sense of place but, much like its real life namesake, Homecoming isn't age-appropriate for everyone -- maybe just those in high school, or barely removed. Others will likely find the familiarity more humdrum than effectively nostal
| Original Score: C | Jul 17, 2009
As ineffectual police work and broken feet stack up, the silliness gets out of hand.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 17, 2009
Everything, including the ending, plays out exactly as you'd expect.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 17, 2009
A silly, low-rent mash-up of Misery and Fatal Attraction, featuring neither the clever psychology of the former nor the layers of emasculation and consequence of the latter.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 17, 2009
You can tell where this is all going, and the familiarity wouldn't be so bad if this cast could have some fun with the cliches. Alas, these CW stars pout and frown and yell, while lumbering and plodding through the Stephen King/Rob Reiner playbook.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 17, 2009
Teen thriller/romance is gory but ho-hum. Skip it.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 17, 2009
An unmitigated B-movie that isn't thrilling enough or cheesy enough to make it worth the trip.

Homecoming is coldly efficient for what it is. But what it is is trash.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 17, 2009
Homecoming is Exhibit A in how casting can make--or in this case, break--a genre picture.
| Jul 16, 2009
A bizarre mash-up of Fatal Attraction and Stephen King's Misery, with so many risible premises that it's hard to know where to begin.
