Story: A group of folks break down in their RV while away on a trip. Looking for a
place to crash, they invade a local Bed & Breakfast where a string of deaths pit
our gang as prime suspects. But before any justice is carried out by the local law
enforcement, supernatural forces begin to make themselves apparent, forcing our
leads to stand their ground and fight for their lives in the Bed & Breakfast.
Review:
Every once and awhile, a movie will come along that'll make you laugh, and gross
you out, all at once...Dead and Breakfast is just that kind of movie. I didn't really
know what to expect when I bought this movie, I half expected it to be another
horror/comedy that falls flat when it comes to the jokes. After the first 10 minutes
I was cracking up! Some of the most hilarious moments involve the character
Johnny, and a head that he wears on his hand and uses as a puppet. Also the
redneck that sings/raps threw the entire movie will entertain you. While watching
it, you can tell that most of the budget went to the special effects and gore, which
is VERY good, considering how low the budget was for this movie. It doesn't really
get gory until the middle of the movie, but once the first drop of blood is spilled,
it'll stay gory till the end. Most people assume this is another zombie movie, where
the corpses are slow and stupid...they aren't, in fact, they aren't even zombies,
their possessed dead people, and they're pretty smart.
The main group of actors (Ever Carradine, Gina Philips, Oz Perkins, Bianca Lawson,
and Erick Palladino) do a really good job. Ever Carradine makes a good Heroine, as
does Gina Philips, but Palladino makes this movie memorable, with his wise cracks,
and all around hilarious dialog. Some of the supporting acting is pretty silly, but
that is expected, Diedrich Bader, in particular, plays a pretty silly role. David
Carradine plays a small, but important role in this film as well. The comic book
esque transitions are pretty interesting, and they keep the movie flowing. There
really weren't many slow spots, Dead and Breakfast held my attention the entire
time! (which is a pretty hard thing to do). This movie isn't for everyone, some
people will find it silly, and stupid, but most will find it to be a fun campy movie, in
the tradition of Dead Alive, Evil Dead, and Shaun of the Dead. All and all, I loved it,
and would recommend it to anyone looking for a less then serious horror movie.
Like the cover says "It's like a bad horror movie, only worse!".
The special features are pretty basic, Deleted scenes, Commentaries, Bloopers,
you know...all the usual stuff. The bloopers are pretty funny! The most unique
special feature is the extra music option...it has some of the unused songs of the
film. There are 2 commentaries for this movie, one with the crew, one with the
cast and both are pretty funny. All in all the special features are pretty good for a
low budget movie. For it's great gore, unique plot, and its amazingly funny
scenes, its a film worth checking out!
