WVIFF
is proud to present “Beyond the Back Row,” a new film series showcasing
weird, offbeat, and obscure films that would feel right at home in a
grindhouse theater on 42nd Street during the 1970’s. Join us as we
explore daring, no holds barred films that aren’t afraid to shock,
titillate, and provoke… beyond the back row. Our next selection is BUBBA HO-TEP!
Bruce Campbell gives his greatest and most
entertaining performance to date as an aging and
cantankerous "Elvis" in this "zinger-filled crowd-pleaser" from writer-director Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, John
Dies At The End)! When mysterious deaths plague a Texas retirement home,
it's up to its most sequined senior citizen and an African-American senior who claims to be President John F. Kennedy to take on a 3,000-year-old
Egyptian mummy with a penchant for cowboy boots, bathroom graffiti and
sucking the souls from the barely living!
