A mismatched marriage of offbeat character study and unimaginative horror riffs.
Writer-director Don Coscarelli piles on unpleasant details and cynical asides as if they were the stuff of wisdom, though they seem intended to produce guffaws rather than thoughts
This absurdly clever caper is elevated by Bruce Campbell's pensive Elvis into a moving meditation on the diminutions of age and the vagaries of fame.
Fry up a peanut butter and 'nana sandwich, hop in your Cadillac and take one last ride with the King.
It gets by on a kind of demented charm.
Neither particularly funny nor scary, but tiresome.
An original horror movie worthy of your attention; original horror movies are hard to come by these days...
Don Coscarelli still doesn't know how to make cookie-cutter genre films. Let's hope he never learns how.
Not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination, but there's enough here to entertain even those for whom 'cult' is a four-letter word.
There's plenty of scatological humour and knockabout fun to get one through the slower passages.
It's outrageous and full of novel ideas that will tickle the fancy of anyone who is stimulated by the absurd.
There may be some deeper meaning to all this madness about living beyond your prime and regret, but it just barely escapes me how it all fits in
the true horror here, far from being some middle-eastern revenant in a cowboy hat, is the indignity of disease, the anonymity of old age, and the inevitability of death
A sharply written, surprisingly moving little film with a terrific performance by Bruce Campbell.
A fiendishly funny comedy horror.
Bubba Ho-Tep tries ineffectually to be both a lyrical character study and a darkly satirical horror flick.
