Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)

THIRD EYE series SPONSORED BY THIRD PLANET BOUTIQUE<div>When residents of their nursing home start dying of dubious causes, an aged Elvis and an African-American senior who claims to be President John F. Kennedy discover that the perpetrator is an Egyptian mummy with murderous intentions.</div><div><br></div><div>CURATED BY ANNA, VOLUNTEER</div><div><div>We find Elvis (Bruce Campbell) as an elderly resident in an East Texas rest home, who switched identities with an Elvis impersonator years before his "death", then missed his chance to switch back. Elvis teams up with Jack (Ossie Davis), a fellow nursing home resident who thinks that he is actually President John F. Kennedy. Together, they battle an evil Egyptian entity who has chosen their long-term care facility as his happy hunting grounds.The film successfully blends comedy, horror, and drama into something uniquely charming and refreshing. Don Coscarelli of the Phantasm series directs.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I choose this flick for several reasons. When I hear the words "cult film", Bruce Campbell films flood my mind. But I wanted to give folks a chance to see a BC film that may have flown by their radar in 2002 when it was released. I LOVE Elvis and Bruce truly channels him in this role. Ossie Davis is no slouch either. While you may know him best for starring in Spike Lee films, he and BC are comic gold in this gem.</div></div>Comedy, Horror, Thriller, Mystery, FantasyPT1H32MR2026-11-07USen
