Bubba Ho-Tep

*Dr. Doom* · 08-28-2003, 03:30 PM

Now here's another movie I imagine you freddy vs. jason fans will like. Has anyone seen a preview for it? It apparently has Bruce Campbell as an aging Elvis impersinator at a mental hospital who took a dive off the stage 20 years ago and has thought himself the real thing ever since (and an old black guy who's convinced he's really JFK "They dyed me this color!") hunting down some mummy who sucks the life outta the sleeping. It looks like onna those movie's that just has so much f***ed up stuff going for it, and seems a bit more intellectual (or less mindless, either way) that alotta horror movies.

I tried to catch it down at the Frankfurt Film festival (I think it's actually playing tonight), but couldn't get time off.

It's based off a novel, I believe.

I'm a big Bruce Campbell fan, so I'm definitely looking forward to it. I've been waiting on this particular flick for probably over a year now.

Yeah, I guess it's in limited release here, so I dunno if I'll get a chance to check it out until it's released on Video/DVD, supposing it will be.

I think it's playing in most major cities in the states (though I'm too lazy at the moment to honestly look it up).

Alas, I wait for DVD.

I saw the trailer on E1 a few hours ago. Up till now I's been really excited about this movie. All the titels and awards its won and it just looks like hell. Maybe its just me but you can hardly tell its bruce in the make up, and if you can't see bruce whats the point of watching it

I need to see this. I've been waiting since I read about it on Brucie's site.

I saw it last year! I HIGHLY recommend it. Truth be told, you will forget that that's Bruce Campbell playing Elvis...and that's one of the great things about this movie. He did a fantastic job with the character, and so did Ozzie Davis! Its a wacky story, but it works. Its got lots of disgusting humor and grossness, yet its also quite touching.
