The plot is over the top enough. Bruce Campbell plays Elvis in a nursing home, who didn't really die as he swapped lives with a really good impersonator in the 70s. Ossie Davis plays an older black man who claims to be JFK. Together, they battle a mummy feeding on the souls of the residents of their nursing home in Texas.

Where with Campbell's character you have little doubt he is who he says, it's up for interpretation whether Jack Kennedy is really John F Kennedy with his skin dyed black or not - while he was the first one to accept the possibility of an Egyptian mummy, he's also not totally out of it either.

Bruce Campbell gave a great performance as Elvis. For one, he has the looks and voice for the part to play Elvis. Bruce's "karate" moves fit well as an older guy with the will to fight but without the physical ability to do much. And while overall shot as a serious movie, the absurdity of some of the situations are downright hilarious, such as Elvis vs a giant cockroach.

The movie also raises some thoughts about growing old and facing your fears, what did you do in your life that you would have done different or would like a second chance at, or where you go after you die.
