A film with a tagline of "It’s like a bad horror movie…only worse" will always pique my interest. Dead and Breakfast is a lighthearted zombie romp that has folks buzzing.
Dead and Breakfast is a story of six friends on a road trip who stop for the night at
a Bed and Breakfast in the sleepy town of Lovelock, Texas. But
as the already bizarre residents of
the town become possessed by an evil spirit and wreak terror on the
gang, they get pinned down inside the B&B.
Sound familiar? Well, that’s because we’re not covering any new ground
here. A movie about group of unique characters fighting zombies
has been pitched more often than fastballs at Wrigley Field. However, Dead and Breakfast
does contain a lot of fun scenes, (including cymbals to the zombie
head) and passable acting (including David Carradine and Jeremy Sisto).
Dead and Breakfast has been marketed to be in the vein of Shaun of the Dead which is probably not a fair comparison as it opts for dumb humor vs. the dry British humor in Shaun. A comparison to Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive would be closer.
PROS
- Tons of fun gore (rumored to have used over 30 gallons of fake blood!)
- Better acting than you’d expect from a bad horror movie
- A few novel twists
CONS
- Takes a bit to get going…stick with it
BOTTOM LINE
- Overall, a fun zombie movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

NOTE
The film is getting nationwide distribution by Anchor Bay Entertainment, a great distributor of forgotten movies, horror gems, and old TV show. Support them if you like these types of movies.
I had got a desire to begin my business, however I did not have got enough of cash to do it. Thank God my close dude recommended to take the credit loans. So I used the consolidation loans and realized my old dream.
