Six friends on their way to a wedding in Galveston, TX stop for the night at a quaint bed and breakfast in the sleepy town of Lovelock. But after a night that ends with both the inn’s owner and his chef dead, the gang finds themselves under suspicion by the local sheriff. The mystery quickly unravels when the already bizarre residents of the town become possessed by an evil spirit and pin the friends down at the b&b. Armed with a rusty chainsaw, a can of gasoline and a half box of shotgun shells, they must barricade the house and fight for their lives.

Summary: Empty spoof, but still a little entertaining
Comment: Dead and Breakfast is one of those little horror spoof flicks that goes to great lengths to address itself as such. It works to a degree, but for the most part the film just comes up kind of empty, and close to being a self-parody of itself. The story revolves around a group of friends on the way to a wedding, and get waylaid at the bed and breakfast of a small town. Soon enough, a murder occurs where they're staying, and before you know it, an ancient evil gets awakened that turns the townsfolk into mindless zombies (though not the flesh-eating kind mind you). Given the low-budget and indie nature, there's some nice gore effects to be found, and an ensemble cast that includes Ever Carradine, David Carradine, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jeremy Sisto, Erik Palladino (who is clearly having fun here), Bianca Lawson, Gina Philips, Portia de Rossi, Oz "son of Anthony" Perkins, Diedrich Bader, Vincent Ventresca, and Zach Selwyn of G4's Attack of the Show as his country singing/rapping self. All in all, Dead and Breakfast could have been better to be sure, but it is an enjoyable horror spoof on its own merits, and it's something you'll more than likely get a kick out of.

Summary: Camp Done Right!
Comment: From the zombie song and dance to the makeshift rifles and crazy militant librarian (town record keeper)... this piece of camp brilliance is off the charts! Deidrich Bader is having a ball. The serenading cowboy is just the kind of element that lets you know that this movie is not taking itself seriously, the movie makers just wanted you to have a great time.
For Buffy fans... can you find the BTVS alum here? Here's a hint: who did Buffy get "Mr. Pointy" from? :)

Summary: Someone should Pop the Director square in the mouth...
Comment: I only wish that I could go into negative stars for this turd of a movie. I felt rotten giving it a single star, but I couldn't warn you good people to steer clear otherwise. There must be a fatal,nation-wide crack epidemic, according to all the 4-5 star reviews I've seen for this celluloid abortion. I believe that a mentally challenged class of 3rd graders could have written and directed a far better zombie-comedy film. I've noticed the pathetic trend of every tired, trite, asinine excuse for a zombie comedy that comes out in America to have a 'Shaun of the Dead' tagline. Well, guess what? Shaun of the Dead has something that this movie and its ilk could never hope for; brains, balls, and a heart. And guess what else, guys? dancing zombies weren't funny after 'Thriller', they weren't funny in Return of the Living Dead 2, and they sure as hell aren't funny now. Especially put to some awful Rap/country inbred hybrid music(?), by the local dog-kicker from the neighborhood bar. In fact, this movie makes ROTLD2 look like the original Dawn of the Dead, for that matter. How in the Dark Lord's name did you get Diedrich Bader and David Carradine to appear in this sorry excuse for a film? Somebody must've been needing some bourbon money. Do yourself a favor, instead of directing movies, stick to your day-job of mopping vomit off the floors of your local Steak n'Shake/Jerrys/Jack in the Box/etc. You'll be of far more use to society. Peter Jackson, Lucio Fulci, Sam Raimi, you are defintely not.
Do not see this movie, even on a bet. If you want zombies, and you want funny, I cannot recommend 'Shaun of the Dead' or'Die you Zombie Bastards' enough. But 'Dead & Breakfast'?!? Go Die!!

Summary: Horror with a funny twist
Comment: Dead and Breakfast is a horror flick with a funny twist. Enjoyable if you get the irony.
Customer Rating:
Summary: One of the worst kinds of movies ever
Comment: This movie is terrible from start to finish. Bad acting, bad plot, bad everything. But to make it worse, it was just good enough to make you think it was going to get better so you stay watching hoping for a better movie. It never does. I wish it was a tiny bit worse so we wouldn't have continued watching hoping for it to get better.
