Strange things begin happening at the nursing home when residents start winding up dead. However, a stage accident put him in a coma and now he's an aging man with some health issues (there's a possibly cancerous growth on.ahem."Little Elvis") stuck in a Texas rest home where none of the staff truly believe he's the King of Rock N' Roll. Elvis had enough of his life of stardom and instead decided to perform as a faux version of himself to smaller crowds – allowing him to get back to his roots. The movie is based on a wacky – but not entirely implausible – premise that Elvis Presley didn't die on the toilet in 1977, but instead switched places with an Elvis impersonator a few years before that event, and it was the impersonator who died. Bruce Campbell gives arguably the best performance of his career in 'Bubba Ho-Tep', a movie that's gained a cult following not so much for its horror storyline but more so for the fact that it's actually a pretty good movie about Elvis Presley, despite the fact that it's also about a killer mummy sucking out the souls of rest home residents.
