Bubba Ho-Tep...the official spoiler free Radar Review

It's not often that I eagerly await an independant horror flick to come out, but Bubba Ho-Tep certainly was the exception. It had one of the best writer-directors of the genre behind it, and the legenday Bruce Campbell at the helm. The premise was incredibly unique and well-thought out. In short, this movie made a lot of promises.

And it delivered on every one.

Bruce plays an elderly Elvis Presley so convincingly that it's easy to forget that it's him at all. The makeup was fantastic, the voice spot on. Ossie Davis' acting is, as usual, stellar. And of course, Don Coscarelli once again shows us why he stands alongside Raimi and Craven as one of the undisputed kings of the genre. (And hey kids, keep your eyes open for a special guest appearence from Reggie Bannister himself!)

And best of all is this: now that Coscarelli is FINALLY done with this movie, he can get back to making Phantasm V and hopefully TIE THE FUCKING SERIES UP before Angus Scrimm takes up residence in a mausoleum for real.

All in all, this was a hell of a fun movie, with laughs abound and excellent perfomances from every member of the cast. If it happens to be at an independant moviehouse near you, I highly advise that you go see it!
 
I am dying to see this, have heard alot of good stuff and cant wait. Bruce Campbell is awesome and he never disappoints, sounds like a very unique story line, bring it :)
 
the local paper here reviewed it and hated it. which means i will most likely love it. i can't wait to get my ass to the theater and see this!
 
watched this a while back - brilliant. i love it when i'm constantly trying to figure out how a writer comes up with the shiznit... not a masterpiece of modern film, but it never intends to be.
 
finally saw this movie, it was great :)

it doesn't try to be anything that it is not. it doesn't try to be overly campy, scary, melodramatic or bizarre. all the aspects blend nicely.

i'm embarrassed to admit that the movie gave me a nightmare tho. ****MINOR SPOILER ALERT BELOW***


those giant bugs crept me out. i have a huge fear of any bug, let alone giant, salad tossing, demonic ones. after i saw the movie i had a dream about bugs being all over my room. including my carpet being made out of mealworms. it was scary shit. i looked very carefully at my rug before getting out of bed this morning. i was afraid i would look down and still see little mealworms in place of carpet fibers. this is the end of my little tangent, goodbye.
 
a fine movie: Bubba Ho-Tep

ANybody catch this film, it is great. Elvis and JFk in a nursing home fighting a mummy. Plus its got Bruce Campbell, cant go wrong there!
 
ditto! it's super funny, weird, but also creates a lot of sympathy for people in old-age homes.. the characters, even though they're elvis and jfk seem very human.

"i was doin' a little gyratin', takin' care of business y'know? when my hip gave out."
 
caught this a long time ago at the drexel... very nice indie flick- i'd imagine it was a blast on set... good time all around, but if you're a fan of the big-budget summer blockbusters and "safe" movies this might not be your cup of tea.
 
i really enjoyed this... older characters discover a passion in life again, it's kind of touching. And Bruce Campbell as Elvis :)
 
"you got bugs man, the size of my fist. The size of a peanut butter and banana sanwich man!"
 
I buddy of mine downloaded this last summer...enjoyable, campy...definitely worth a rent. :)
 
very amusing movie. tho definitely not for everyone. some friends of my friends couldn't get past the appearance of one of the characters :\
 
Really weird, not my style but still a quality movie. I wouldn't buy or rent this again, but it was worth watching once....
 
definitely looking forward to this: bruce campbell is the b-grade god, and ossie davis rules (his last role, i think?)
 
I enjoyed Bruce Campbell as Elvis and I really digged the Elvis switch my favorite part of the movie.
