Glad to know the original Idiots are still checking out new horror releases. :)

The sort of hazy surrealness of _Phantasm_ is present here, as is an homage to the killer fly from that movie.

Yeah, totally - especially in the scenes where Campbell's laying on the bed, time's passing, and people are whizzing past him. What made the ending not-Rule as much is lacked that surreal, off-balance quality - it was sort of a straightforward chase scene. It would've been nice to see that carried through.

What could have been better: more character put into Ozzie Davis' role. Bood/gore. Any blood/gore actually: there's essentially none. The R-rating of the movie is apparently due to references to penis's, bodily functions, and a good dosage of cussing. Naturally I'm for all this, but some gore in addition would have been welcome.

I agree - and I'm not totally sure why they didn't add in more gore. Splatter would've made sense in the movie - they could've bloodied up several scenes easily. The mummy's first kill (the candy-stealing lady), for example, is nearly bloodless. I don't understand why, in a movie where Elvis talks at length about his penis pustule, they couldn't have made put in some more gore.
