Elvis and JFK, both alive and in nursing homes, fight for the souls of their fellow residents as they battle an ancient Egyptian Mummy.
Rating:9/10 An original and thought provoking piece of cinema. The idea for this movie makes it seem like ti wold be a comedy or a very bad horror movie, but that is far from the truth here. There is quite a bit of depth within this movie that makes it very thought provoking. The main idea of this film is about elderly people who don't have anyone that cares about them. It is very sad and quite a good acting job by Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis. With Bruce Campbell, you almost forget he is in the movie and that you are watching a sixty eight year old Elvis Presley. Ossie Davis was hilarious in this movie as well. His explanation for being JFK is laugh out loud material. This is very original and really destroys the cookie cutter. Give this one a chance, you won't regret it.
