Review of Dead & Breakfast (2004) by Amanda C — 24 May 2010

If George A. Romero, Quentin Tarantino, and Walt Disney had a threesome and bore a love child, this movie would be it. 'Dead and Breakfast' is everything you could want from a D horror movie PLUS song and dance numbers. The set up is simple: six friends on their way to a wedding get stranded in Lovelock, the quintessential middle-of-nowhere town, when a murder is committed at the Bed and Breakfast they're staying at. To make matters worse, one of them unleashes a powerful, evil force that transforms the towns residents into murderous zombies. All the while, the friendly neighbourhood gas station attendant exposits important information and offers narration through jaunty, swagger-iffic tunes. Just what the hell isn't to like?

This isn't the type of movie you watch to see excellence in acting, scriptwriting, direction, production, or even songwriting. 'Dead and Breakfast' is something to watch on a Friday night with a group of zombie loving friends. It's a movie that knows just how corny it really is and never once pretends to be anything different. I laughed so hard that I started to cry for this movie. 'Dead and Breakfast' is as powerful as the spirit of a Kuman Thong, which makes a lot of sense when you've seen the movie, which I highly recommend you do.
