 heed the warning on the (inside) label... March 19, 2009
shawn niebruegge (troy, il)
The tag line on the inside cover of the movie (left off the lenticular slip cover) says: "Dead & Breakfast. It's Like a Bad Movie...Only Worse!" They get a second star if only for truth in advertising.
The cover also says "The best independent horror movie of the year" and "...The U.S. answer to Shaun of the Dead". Well, Shaun of the Dead was a 2004 movie and this movie doesn't come anywhere near that level.
The jokes are flat, often slapstick, but also very often difficult to notice as jokes at all. The acting is bad (fairly normal for a horror movie) and the plot is basic if not bad. There are a bunch of scenes in the movie which make no sense whatsoever...the kind of stuff that should've been left on the cutting room floor. If that was suppose to parody horror movies, they missed the mark. The best thing about this movie is the gore which is so-so at best.
Another reviewer said that the hope that this movie will get better makes it worse to experience...that is almost exactly how i felt. Except by a third of the way through it was clear to me that it wasn't going to get better. I watched the rest out of morbid curiosity. I've seen a number of really bad horror movies. I even enjoy some of them. This was boring, plain and simple. Barely watchable and simply not funny at all.
There may be people who like this movie...there is a very country feeling to it. It may appeal to country music fans and people who like Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy kind've humor (frankly I'm surprised they didn't show up as cameos in the movie). The rest of the world should steer clear of this. If you want more of Shaun of the Dead....this is nothing like it! Not even Mystery Science Theater good.
It was good to see David Carradine again. A star for him, the best actor in the movie.
 just my type of "B" movie March 5, 2009
Joseph M. Burns (S D cali)
I gave this movie 4 stars cause I like low budget films with lots of stupid gory parts and outlandish story lines and this one delivers in full with Diedrich Bader and David Carradine making eaqualy lame and funny short cammies not for the mainstream pop tv movie watchers but if your a real "B"movie fan like me you can feel good about loosin ten bucks on this
Empty spoof, but still a little entertaining October 27, 2008
N. Durham (Philadelphia, PA)
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.
 Camp Done Right! March 11, 2008

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? :)

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!!
