KimJ.Oct 5, 200310Loved it! Campbell gave an inspired perfomance and Davis, as always, shines. Funny, touching.. lovingly twisted. Unique!

GregL.Jun 2, 200410Awesome movie filled with one-liners and a bit of soulfulness. A great B movie. I went to see a screening of it and met Bruce Campbell who is an amazingly down to Earth guy and very talented. Very entertaining and very funny the only way this could be perceived as a bad movie is by over-analyzing it.

simonh.May 7, 200510The plot sounded so rediculous I had to try it once. Boy am I gald I did. This was a touching soul retreiving from out of the gutter movie. Wiith all the horror kept at enough of a low level it was easy to see what the characters were about. Oh and Campbell as Elvis-GENIUS!!!!

BillS.Apr 11, 200610Outrageous plot. Crazy characters. Delicious dialogue. How could you not love this movie? Although it is not very scary (for a horror film, that is), it sure is entertaining. Don't rent it, buy it. You won't be sorry.

BlancoA.Oct 26, 20033Bubba Ho-Tep was one of the slowest movies I've ever seen!! (I saw it instead of Kill Bill....mistake). It had just a tiny slice of that Army of Darkness kind of humor, but it was set in a rest home and felt exactly like one.....

JimC.Oct 28, 200310Touching story, original concept artistically executed. Low Budget, but not really looking it. A '10' for proving that money doesn't take it all! Congrats to the Coscarelli and his cast!

BobbyS.May 7, 200410This movie was amazing. Not really a horror movie, but it had some great elements. And the acting was top notch from everyone, especially Campbell and Davis. A top notch film in all respects, and the musical score for the movie is amazing as well. I need that CD now!

ShelbyS.May 28, 200410Bruce Campbell takes care of business as Elvis. This film assumes no pretense...Elvis, JFK & The Mummy. Pass the peanut butter and 'nanner sandwiches, please.
-
-
PaulL.May 31, 20049Considering what this film is about, Elvis and JFK battling a mummy in an old-age home...the film somehow works. It is no classic, but there is something that gets under your skin and makes you just care about these fellas. It's a horror/comedy/whatever with heart, anchored by an amazing performance by Mr Bruce Campbell.

CoryM.Jun 16, 200410Wonderfully understated, gently bizarre. It isn't at all a "joke" comedy, the humor really hits about 1/2 way through when you suddenly ask yourself what the hell you are seeing.

StevenD.Jan 27, 20052Funny lines but everything else about this was terriable.

100I loved this film; from the opening Ben-Hur nod to the hieroglyph subtitles, it's simultaneously hilarious and poignant, with great performances.

A zinger-filled crowd-pleaser that open-minded Elvis fans (but by no means all) will have fun with.
-
50Mismatched marriage of offbeat character study and unimaginative horror riffs. Most compelling element by far is Bruce Campbell's inspired performance as a nursing home patient who insists he is the real Elvis Presley.
