This is just awful.
My expectations had been raised by several friends telling me how superb it is.
Different, yes.
Any good? I don’t bloody think so.
Maybe it's just too out there for me.
Bruce Campbell - usually a firm favourite in this house - plays a retired Elvis Presley who is called upon to defend his retirement home from an ancient Egyptian demon, the eponymous Bubba Ho-tep.
'Wacky' and 'zany' are words that fill me with dread, and this is packed full of it.
The director of the Phantasm series serves this up, so I really should like it, and the IMDB rating implies it is great, but it just doesn't work for me.
Yes, it's original, but it's also bloody awful.
