I think it’s an imperfect movie with a great premise and cast. Overall, I enjoyed it a lot when it came out and I’ve rewatched it once, but I haven’t felt it so memorable or quotable. Still, it was pleasant

This is genuinely one of the most bizarre films I’ve ever seen. I watched it with some friends and we were all confused about how the hell it got made. Honestly we were a little disappointed, the idea of geriatric Elvis fighting a mummy is very appealing but the writing and plot just aren’t the best. There’s definitely good moments and maybe worth a watch if you’re into these weird B C movies, but not something I’d recommend to most people.

If you get the chance, watch this with Bruce Campbell’s commentary on. He’s constantly complimenting everyone else who worked on the movie. “This actress only had one line but she was brilliant.” “The lighting guy did such a great job in this scene.” “This was all in one hallway but the set guys were so good that we were able to reuse it for three different locations.” That sort of talk.

It sheds some light on how Bruce has been so consistently employed; even if he never became a superstar, he sounds like he’s a delight to work with, and who wouldn’t want to get that guy on a production?

I have this on my media server, just 'cause anything with Bruce C is a good watch. It’s got an original idea for a story and was pretty well made. I give it a 3 of 5 ⭐ overall.

Thanks for the share, Don.
