Elvis (Bruce Campbell)is alive and just about well, living in a nursing home in East Texas with a black man (Ossie Davis) who claims to be JFK. However, all is not peaceful as an ancient mummy is haunting the corridors of this drab home hell bent on sucking the souls out of the residents arseholes.
This film certainly stands out from the crowd of Hollywood homogeneity, in its sheer bizarre, quirky story and idiosyncratic characters. Bruce Campbell is excellent as Elvis and has a couple of very funny lines and actions. However, this film goes nowhere at all, becoming more and more silly as well as looking more like a B horror movie with poor special effects.
I admire the attempt by director Coscarelli to create something others do' not have the guts to make, but I did'not enjoy this film, it was good as a performance by an actor impersonating Elvis but this became tedious and irritating after a short while.
