4K UHD Review – Bubba Ho-Tep

As the director of "Phantasm," Don Coscarelli is no stranger to making weird films, and 2002's "Bubba Ho-Tep" is one of his strangest, working with author Joe R. Lansdale on an adaptation of his novella. It's a story of despair turned into purpose when Elvis (Bruce Campbell) and John F. Kennedy (Ossie Davis) rise up in their nursing home, working to defend the residents from the arrival of Bubba Ho-Tep, an ancient, soul-sucking evil. Lansdale's premise is a corker, but the idea of "Bubba Ho-Tep" is usually more enticing than the actual picture, which is superbly performed and occasionally inspired, but mostly wrestles with its limited budget and lack of adventures for the characters to undertake.
