Critics Consensus

A lazy collection of obsession thriller clichés, Homecoming will leave viewers wishing they'd opted for a lopsided football game and some awkward dancing instead.

Los Angeles Times

Neither trashy nor self-consciously funny enough to make its genre-trapped ludicrousness sing.

Rated: 1.5/5

New York Daily News

As ineffectual police work and broken feet stack up, the silliness gets out of hand.

The Tyee (British Columbia)

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.

A muddled story with cheesy acting and extremely low production values. Complete trash.

I actually really enjoyed this movie! I ended up buying it at a pawn shop and thought it sounded interesting. I wasn't expecting too much from it, it was a little low budget but honestly that didn't bug me much, I was pleasantly surprised. I actually really enjoyed this movie! Mischa Barton did a fantastic job and tbh I find she's not very good in lots of her horror movies but this was pretty good! I see lots of people comparing it to Misery but I don't think it's like that, sure there are some similarities in one particular scene but after that I don't think it was anything like it. I say give it a watch it, it's actually not so bad!

Acting all around us good. It’s a Hollywood type liberals idea of coming home from war. In a program to help vets. Anti military pro individuals that served. All too predictive. On the other hand, it’s good to see Hollywood caring about the individuals that served. I never served, and have a respect for those that served- at any level, from National Guard to reserves to full time military service.

Awful waste of time. Acting by Mischa Barton really blew all chances away. Matt Long lousy as usual and Jessica Stroup just as bad. Girlfriend can't get out of a ridiculous kidnapping and boyfriend remains clueless. That's just about sums it all up. Absolutely ridiculous!

Pretty much misery meets fatal attraction... Nothing new... Still not a bad movie, just not something I would recommend over the titles above.
