Bubba Ho-Tep
(2002). Don Coscarelli. Estados Unidos. 92 minutos
And what if Elvis never died but really lives shut away in a Texas old folk’s home? And what if John Fitzgerald Kennedy wasn’t really murdered by his enemies, but has had his skin colour changed to black by his enemies and lives shut away/in safety at the same geriatric home? And what if Don Coscarelli, director of Phantasm and The Beastmaster, has taken a step ahead of the selfsame David Lynch in his eagerness to take to the screen a book by extremely pure cult author, Joe R. Lansdale? And if, moreover, a mummy was running loose, absorbing the souls of the other residents and played by a specialist fan of Boris Karloff? And if the reviews had reported that this was a fantastic, twilight, superb tale of friendship, courage and expiation?
