This entertaining mix of vampire movie, western and comedy deserves attention for the wonderfully imaginative details of its world, but it gets bonus points for giving Bruce Campbell room to shine as an actor. Of all his roles, Ash remains the most iconic, Elvis from Bubba Ho-Tep the funniest in terms of concept, and, for me, Brisco County Jr. the most nostalgic, but here he simply steals every scene with his amazing facial expressions.
