This has to be one of my all time favorite films, and being an independent film with a low budget means that every shot that they took meant something. Ossie Davis as JFK was simply brilliant, as he genuinely makes you think that he is JFK. Bruce Campbell is also outstanding as the 'real' Elvis, and with the two of them working together creates some chemistry on camera that a lot of films these days can only dream of. Funny, nice horror implementation (with the style so similar to the Evil Dead series) and very touching at times (one of the few films to make me feel a bit teary). The soundtrack is absolutely fantastic, fits the mood of the film perfectly and it was all done by Brian Taylor alone.

Don Coscarelli as the director did a magnificent job for a film that only cost around $500,000 and made it look like it was made with a $20 million budget.

9.5/10
