Bubba Ho-tep, now were do I start. I got this gem of a film on dvd during the christmas sales. I had read some good things about it on imdb. Also it features Bruce Campbell, who is a legend as far as comedy horror films go, plus it was only £4. The dvd had been sitting in a pile of unwatched dvds, so last night I decided to pop the disk in the player.
The premise of the film is that Campbell plays Sebastian Haff an Elvis impersonator who is actually the real Elvis. He just happens to have ended up in a convalescent home recovering from a hip injury. Any how there is a Mummy feeding on the souls of the residents of the home. Basically Sebastian and his side kick who by the way thinks he is JFK, take on the mummy. Now this film has to be seen, the dialog and gags are the funniest I have heard or seen in ages. In fact I don’t think any thing is going to come close for some time. Bruce Campbell’s performance is easily his best, he should do more films like this.
