There is a lot about Elvis and how he suffers in his old age, he reminisces about his fame and youth and generally moans a lot.

The problem for me with the film is how slow it is and the fact nothing much really happens. Yep Campbell will forever be associated with his quirky Evil Dead hero character.especially in quirky horror comedies such as this. Its not an accurate depiction of Elvis of course, more of a comic book version with added Raimi-esque spice n dialog. It sounds ultra cool and seeing Campbell as an old Elvis (and young) is ultra cool, even though he kinda looks like Kevin Costner's Elvis impersonator from '3000 Miles to Graceland'. This could almost be some kind of weird alternative dimension for his 'Ash' character.if you really really try to think of it that way. It sounds friggin' awesome, then you read it stars Bruce Campbell as Elvis and things just get better and better. An aged Elvis living in a crappy retirement home (he swapped places with an Elvis impersonator to escape the limelight) must do battle with an ancient Egyptian mummy who is sucking the old folk dry of their souls. The plot is fast n loose and unfortunately doesn't really give you much info. Yet despite that this is one of those ideas that reads well on paper, would work well in comic book/graphic novel form, but for some reason hasn't translated that well onto film. It does sound like one of those cool ideas that you've heard about from the comic book world, that you'd think would be awesome as a film.but it probably won't ever get made, a bit like 'Freddy vs Jason vs Ash'. The whole notion of the film has that cult comic book vibe and feels like a silly spin off from something else.
