boudreas This has to be the worse out of the first 6 episodes of Season 1 that I have seen so far. This episode was so bad that I created this account just to write this review. I have no clue how this ended up with a high rating. First the story was terrible. Watch out for the voting zombies. Second they present us with what seems to be a smoking horny author and the one scene where they could have given us some T or A, and they give us nothing. At least bad episodes before it had elements of horror (blood, limbs, sex, breasts). It seems in this series the lower the IMDb rating of the episode the better it actually is. Anyways that is my personal view and if you do chose to watch this, you will lose an hour of your life and never get it back. Even if your life is shitty, this hour is worse lol.

kosmasp It might be less of a Horror episode, as most might expect it. But it's still "Horror" portrayed, even if not in the traditional sense. Dante does a very good job, with playing with your expectations and giving you something completely different. Try to stay open minded about it and you will enjoy this episode very much. If not, the result will be like the comment from another reviewer I read.The other reviewer expected a more Horror like episode. It's all about expectations. It is even more Drama, than Horror if you like to call it that. But it's the variety of it's themes, that made "Masters of Horror" so interesting (to me). A friend of mine felt the same way about this, but that doesn't mean that you have or indeed will like this Joe Dante effort after all.

cgyford Joe Dante films Sam Hamm's loose adaptation of Dale Bailey's short story "Death & Sufferage" for this heavy handed highly politicised dismemberment of the Bush era that was perfectly timed but subsequently quickly dated and predestined to generate negative reviews across the board but none-the-less still worth viewing.Jon Tenney puts in a powerfully nuanced performance as the political pundit at the heart of the story with superb support from Thea Gill as a loathsome Ann Coulter clone, Wanda Cannon, Terry David Mulligan and long-term Dante collaborator Robert Picardo as the sleazy Karl Rove inspired puppet master.The master flexes the genre's long dormant satirical muscles in this brilliant homage to the likes of Jacque Tournier, George A. Romero and Jean Yarbrough (check the Arlington gravestones) that has a well-plotted back-story and an important message to be deliver without ever losing its deathly dark tongue-in-cheek sense of humour.At ease soldier.

fedor8 I disagree with Dante portraying the Democrat-supporting zombies as creatures with an average IQ of 23. I do believe their behaviour should reflect a lower IQ than that, something in the order of a Pelosi IQ... A single-digit figure, please.The MOH series is quite uneven, and this is the very worst episode. Dante, yet another mindless Hollywood liberal (or an apolitical nerd who sucks up to the Leftist establishment in order to re-kindle his pitiful career?), must have finally realized that his directorial pursuits had been stuck in a low gear for nearly two decades now, hence came up with this cringe-inducing, unsubtle, left-wing "satire" of the Bush administration, Republicans, and capitalism. Perhaps he felt he hadn't been overtly political before. He wouldn't exactly be the first no-talent to use asinine political propaganda to further his career, when all else fails. The maker of turds such as "Piranha", "The Howling", and "Matinee", Dante has been as useful a contributor to the horror genre as Adolf Hitler had been to world peace.TH uses lowest-common-denominator humour, cheap and predictable gags which even the bluest of all blue-collar union members wouldn't have trouble understanding. Or have you ever seen a clever, subtle, intelligent liberal satire? Populist manure has the basest of all messages, hence the language and manner in which this message is communicated has to be as simple and basic as Sean Penn's name. And what better people to send this message to the popcorn-munching sheep than a couple of cocaine-sniffing Tinseltown losers who've all fallen so low that they're forced to write for TV...I don't want political propaganda, either Left or Right, in any type of movie. But placing it in horror - of all genres - is a testament to the endless stupidity that reigns so supreme among Hollywood's anti-intelligentsia. So vapid was Dante that he even failed to notice the hilarious suggestion that zombies would vote Democrat... (That's what you get for finishing a movie school: not a source of wisdom or useful knowledge by any stretch of the imagination.)
