Don't Make Me Use My Stuff On Ya Man!

Ok so I'm a huge fan of Bruce Campbell and a huge fan of Joe R. Lansdale (Being a Texas boy and all) not to mention a huge fan of Don Coscarelli (How could you not be hello this is the man that directed Beast Master and Phantasm...lol) so I knew when I purchased this movie, without knowing anything about it (save having read the short story) I knew it would not be a wasting my hard earned $19.99..... so here goes.... The movie’s premise (As was the story it was based on) is completely far out in left field, let me begin this by saying, "Imagine, if you will…" Imagine Elvis is still alive. Imagine, that at the height of his career he decided to switch places with one of the best Elvis impersonators out of the desire to leave the spotlight and just wind things down for himself a bit. Imagine the impersonator dies on the toilet of a drug overdose and Elvis has suddenly no way back to his old live. He grows old falls off the stage at a state fair and breaks his hip and eventually ends up in an East Texas retirement home where all he has left are his thoughts and memories and a bump on a dick that no longer works. Now, imagine this for a moment. As part of a traveling Egyptian museum exhibit, an ancient mummy is being carried around the country and one day disappears during an accident when it is stolen and the transport that was carrying it runs off a bridge. Imagine the mummy comes to life and in order to stay alive it needs to drink the souls of people. Incidentally, it ends up in the same East Texas retirement home, where the elderly people are easy prey and no one suspects any supernatural interference by their sudden demises. Now, if you may, imagine, that Elvis and the Mummy collide and with the help of Elvis’ retirement-home friend John F. Kennedy – who is not surprisingly also very much alive, and not quite what you may expect – his brain has been transplanted into the body of a black man! A hunt ensues to put down the mummy and save everyone’s soul."Inventive" is too small a word for this movie’s plot and background. It is plain wacky and fucked, especially since there are a lot of odd twists and nuances throughout that will add to the oddity of the overall film. This movie is the Shit! I laughed so hard I just about pissed myself, but I also cheered and pumped my fist in the air a few times.... if you have not seen this thing, rent it, buy it, steal it, or borrow it.... but see it you won't be sorry I see something new everytime i watch it. Shop smart shop S Mart Big time baby!

Later...
