This evening's viewing: classic 80s horror, Joe Dante's The Howling (complete with a very young, pre-Trek Robert Picardo!).
For my money, along with American Werewolf in London (from the same era), still one of the best lycanthrope movies of all time, with incredible transformation effects, all achieved with practical, on-set effects.

I just watched an episode of Masters of Horror called Homecoming directed by Joe Dante.
Almost all of Dante's movies are political but you often need to interpret. In 2005 he had something to say about the Iraq War and George W. Bush. This time there was no subtlety involved.
Homecoming is not great. If it had been purely black humor it might have worked better but it also tries to be sentimental which falls flat. As a political statement I love it.
If you want the spoiler summary ....
