Hilarious splatter horror/comedy- I laughed from beginning to end., 25 septembre 2004
Auteur : ben_retan de Birmingham, Alabama

I was at a screening of Dead and Breakfast tonight at the Sidewalk Film Festival here in Birmingham and really enjoyed the movie.

Warning- this movie is not for the weak of stomach. Gore content is out of the roof. However if you are a fan of splatter comedies such as the Evil Dead series, this movie is a must see.

The premise of the movie is your stereotypical horror movie set up. On the way to a wedding a group of semi-strangers get stuck in a small town overnight and someone gets killed.

The highly comedic twist to this horror is apparent even after the first killing as one of the group spends a good thirty seconds trying to run away from the dead body and instead slipping in a pool of blood over and over.

This movie was very much influenced by the Evil Dead series (in fact you can even see an Evil Dead poster in the closet where they first find the chainsaw) but does the comedy even better.

The appropriately over-the-top music of Zach Selwyn serves as a good and humorous progression between the scenes. He features original songs such as "Comin to kill ya", "Possessed" and "Quiet Little Town".

This was one of the best movies that I've seen in a very long time and I would give it a 9/10.

Pretty funny, highly entertaining and lots-o-gore., 31 décembre 2005

Auteur : stormruston de victoria bc

I just watched this one last night with my brother-in-law we both got allot of chuckles out of it and a few good laughs.

This movie is a cross between "Evil Dead 2" and "Shawn of the dead" with a touch of "kungfu Hustle" style dance scenes thrown into the mix, but not quite as good as any of the above mentioned movies.

It starts abit slow but picks up pretty fast.Lots of gore in the second half so if you have a weak stomach...

Some of the funniest bits in the movie are the song interludes, listen to the words,as it is funny stuff.

The acting is all pretty good,and the special effects well above average.

Highly recommend this one.

No Toaster Strudel in the Face for this Horror "Comedy", 7 octobre 2004
Auteur : stiles (stiles@newebooks.net) de Los Angeles, CA

Horror comedies are usually much better on paper than on film, which Dead & Breakfast wholeheartedly proves. The first half is a mish-mash of self-consciously 'witty' dialogue and 'hilarious' situations as a group of yappy twenty-somethings throttle in a Winnebago towards Texas for a wedding. But an overnight detour leads them into a den of hillbilly zombies and handmade shotguns, and some semblance of fun, whether it's comedic or not.

With its unnecessary close-ups, terrible acting, and abhorrent hand-held camera use, Dead and Breakfast has all the charm of a first feature by a fanboy with too many ideas and too little experience. (Note that this is actually writer/director Matthew Leutwyler's third feature.) This isn't to say that the movie's bad – there's plenty of gore and creative death scenes to tickle your attention span for 88 minutes. But as a horror film it never finds its voice, and as a comedy, it tries far too hard to ever provoke a good chuckle out of me.

Early on, the lead is taken by Christian, a pill-popping but level-headed mediator played by the always wonderful Jeremy Sisto. But his premature nixing leaves the scattered cast without a den mother. Sara (Ever Carradine, who amazingly looks nothing like a Skolnick) should be leading the pack, but she spends the rest of the film bellowing, 'you've got to be kidding me!' as she wards off zombie attacks. Hardly a leading heroine. The rest of the cast – much better than the headshot-cast prats I see in studio horror pics these days - simply squabble amongst themselves about personal issues while under attack. Then there's the 'comedy': look, drunk guys aren't funny, rude French people aren't funny, and while slipping around in a puddle of gore is funny (see Shaun of the Dead's off-screen tumble by Simon Pegg), when the scene lasts upwards of 30 seconds, one feels pandered to. Even hillbilly zombies aren't funny – isn't that a little too on the nose?

You could do worse than Dead & Breakfast, but if you're looking for a genuine laugh with a good smattering of gore, check out another of Lions Gate's indie horror acquisition, Monster Man. And if you want a good zombie gorefest, stick with Dead Alive or Evil Dead II, which Dead & Breakfast aspires so painfully to be. Because there's nothing funny about desperation, is there?

No Evil Dead 2, but it quite good., 19 avril 2006
Auteur : John West de Royaume-Uni

I had to post a comment as the previous one was far too harsh on this film.

I saw this film with quite a lot of expectations of it and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't let them down too much. That's not to say it is the greatest horror comedy, but it it really entertaining.

Caradines appearance seems to have more to do with having a famous face, than anything, but his appearance it welcome.

The "crazy" songs in the film vary from being a reasonable narrative device to being incredibly grating, but i guess in the spirit of how the film is presented they are okay. They could put people right off the film though, if they are too humourless.

So it's no Evil Dead 2 or Bloodsucking Pharoahs, but it a good watch for your horror fans and your non horror fans looking for a light horror romp to kill an evening.

Funny and Entertaining, 8 mars 2008

Auteur : Claudio Carvalho de Rio de Janeiro, Brésil

While heading to Galveston in a RV for the wedding of a friend, the driver Johnny (Oz Perkins) gets lost and arrive in the small town of Lovelock and his friends Kate (Bianca Lawson), Sara (Ever Carradine), Melody (Gina Phillips), Christian (Jeremy Sisto) and David (Erik Palladino) decide to spend the night in the Bed and Breakfast owned by Mr. Robert Wise (David Carradine). David has an argument with the chef of the inn, Henri (Diedrich Bader), and when the chef is found dead and Mr. Wise has a heart attack in the middle of the night, the local Sheriff (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) suspects of the group and asks his assistant Enus (Mark Kelly) to take the key of their trailer and stay in Lovelock during the investigation. Then the Sheriff arrests a drifter (Brent David Fraser) that becomes his prime suspect. When the clumsy Johnny accidentally breaks a box of Mr. Wise, he releases the fiend Kuman Thong and the evil spirit possesses the locals transforming them into zombies.

Matthew Leutwyler certainly wrote and directed "Dead & Breakfast" with the intention of making a cult-movie. Unfortunately his target is never reached, but this gore comedy is funny and a worthwhile entertainment. There are good lines and most of the characters are likable, and one of the best moments if the phone call of the maid of honor Kate to the bride Lisa, with a hilarious dialog. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Adivinhe Quem Vem Para Morrer" ("Guess Who is Coming to Die?")

NOT a 'Shaun' equivalent, 30 juillet 2006

Auteur : wishinhart de Etats-Unis

The review note on the box remarked that this was the "american answer to 'Shaun of the Dead'"...so perhaps i had high expectations coming into this. First off, its a fun movie -- cheesy, funny, worth 90-120 minutes of your time. There are enough snippet funny moments and lines delivered with perfect timing to keep you interested (especially enjoyed the homage to 'Thriller')...but if you're looking for a Shaun of the Dead companion piece--this isn't it. While 'Shaun' mixed a perfect amount of suspense, humor, and gore, 'Dead & Breakfast' merely provided some humor and a whole lotta blood. This movie was worth a rent, just don't go into it with high expectations. I wouldn't place it next to my other zombie movies in my home collection, i would put it somewhere else...like probably back on the shelf at blockbuster. :-)

S10 Reviews: Dead & Breakfast (2004), 10 septembre 2005

Auteur : suspiria10 de The Void

Three couples are on a road trip to a wedding in Galveston when they decide to make a pit-stop in a weird little rustic town Lovelock. They stop over for the night at the local bed and breakfast (run by none other than 'Bill" himself, David Carradine). But when the chef winds up carved and filleted and the owner dies of an apparent heart attack these road weary friends learn the story of Pandora's Box the hard way and with possessed zombies to boot. 'Dead & Breakfast' is the perfect companion piece to 'Shaun of the Dead'. 'Dead' one ups the zany genre referencing humor of 'Shaun" by adding absolutely hilarious songs the link (and even further the plot) many of the scenes together. The comedic timing of the actors greatly improves as the feature progresses as the humor gets crazier and the gore gets going. "Dead" is quite gory and conjures many a fond memory of past 80's gore classics.

This Dead & Breakfast is worth the visit., 28 novembre 2008
Auteur : Prolox de Canada

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

Six people on their way to a friends wedding, stop by at a bed & breakfast run by a mysterious elderly gentlemen played by none other than David CARRADINE. That night the owner dies of an apparent heart attack & his assistant is found horribly murdered, when a mysterious little box owned by an even more mysterious hitch hiker is opened. Forced to stay at the bed & breakfast until an inept sheriff & his deputy can solve the case, the group learns of an ancient evil spirit kept hidden in the mentioned box that has been released, possessing one of them & turning him into a psychopath who hacks & cuts up the towns citizenry & then resurrects them as zombies who love the taste of flesh & unless they can find a way to destroy the evil, they too will either join the zombie army or become it's breakfast or maybe both at the same time...Despite a few moments of sheer stupidity that may have you rolling your eyes DEAD & BREAKFAST manages to be a funny, if not a very gory horror comedy that should please horror fans. Backed by good direction & acting, not to mention gross special effects the film manages to be interesting & more fast paced than most horror films with plenty of goofy moments & an intriguing story that doesn't take itself to seriously. Definitely recommended especially to those who enjoyed JACK BROOKS: MONSTER SLAYER, EVIL DEAD 2, ARMY OF DARKNESS, DEAD ALIVE, THE TOXIC AVENGER 1-4, FRANKENHOOKER, BRAIN DAMAGE, RE-ANIMATOR 1-3 & BASKET CASE 1-3.

Offbeat and Gruesome, Still A Little Weak Though., 25 novembre 2006

Auteur : youshotandywarhol de Oregon

"Dead and Breakfast" begins on a dark evening with a group of friends who are on their way to a wedding in a Winnebago. The group consists of some very assorted characters, from a macho tough guy, a nerd, an animal-loving vegetarian (who can speak many languages), a snobby girl, and others. The gang gets lost and ends up in the small town of Lovelock, where they spend the night at a Victorian bed-and-breakfast. But in the middle of the night, the chef of the the B&B is murdered, and the owner has a heart attack. The next day, the kids are held in town for questioning and aren't allowed to leave. But as the evening falls in the small town, a strange black-magic ritual begins turning the entire town into blood-thirsty zombies that begin to corner them into the bed and breakfast.

I have mixed feelings about this movie, and I'm not really sure whether I really like it or really just don't care for it. I liked the storyline for the movie, and while it was a little silly, it wasn't quite like anything I've heard before, so I'll give it that. While it is a horror film that concerns zombies, this film is also very funny at the same time. There are plenty of jokes and gags throughout it, the humor is very apparent and was successful in getting a few laughs out of me - I really liked the musical zombie dance that occurred. The actors in this film are fairly recognizable, including Gina Phillips ("Jeepers Creepers"), Jeremy Sisto ("May"), Portia de Rossi ("Cursed"), and David Carradine, along with his real-life daughter, Ever, who is basically our leading role. My two favorites of the bunch would have to be Phillips and Sisto, and while they aren't given a lot to work with, they're performances were good as usual. I can't say the rest of the cast was bad, but I particularly liked those two.

During the 45 minute mark the zombies begin rolling on into the film, which provides some pretty graphic violence as the kids kill them off with their home made shotguns and chainsaws. I can see why the film was deemed "unrated", because the gore is pretty nasty. The references to films like "Night of the Living Dead" are endless, and this film really reminded me of a US version of the British splatter comedy "Shaun of the Dead", which was essentially a parody of zombie movies - although "Dead and Breakfast" wasn't quite as good, a nice attempt though.

Bottom line - "Dead and Breakfast" is a campy, low-budget little splatter horror/comedy that isn't a complete waste of ninety minutes. It's not great and it has some flaws, but it was overall entertaining enough. Just don't expect anything too mindblowing. 5/10.

BRUTAL....with hordes of fans of course!!, 12 novembre 2005

Auteur : Robert W. (Robert_duder@hotmail.com) de Ontario, Canada

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

Evil Dead...without the charm, Shaun of The Dead without any real humor, Dead and Breakfast is one of the worst excuses for films I have ever seen. I really need to stop choosing these offbeat horror films that "look good." I love the horror genre, always have, but it seems like if a low budget horror is being made nowadays for the video shelves it must be some sort of a spoof film or an excuse just to make movies. The mysterious part of Dead and Breakfast is the cast. This cast is not bad, and it's not made up of virtual nobodies but rather just second string, young, Hollywood supporting actors. Ever Carradine of THEE Hollywood Carradine's plays the lead female character who is bound to survive, Sara. She is the small, tiniest glimpse of redemption in this crappy film. Plus she managed to bring on board Uncle David (as in David Carradine) for a brief cameo to try and bring the class of the film up. Oz Perkins plays the lead Zombie, and former geek, Johnny. He does an okay job with a horribly campy, and just plain stupid script. Everyone else in the film you will recognize from small parts in different films over the last few years. They all do an alright job but it doesn't matter by the time you get to the acting.

Whatever director Matthew Leutwyler was trying to do with this boring stupid film is beyond me and here comes the BIGGEST BUT I have ever written about. I absolutely know that this film will be a fan fave with a more than cult following. It's not nearly as good or classic as Evil Dead, it's not funny, but it is gory with stupid, incredibly unrealistic kills and a vaguely funny but stupid point when the Zombies break out in dance and sing a rap/country song saying "We're comin' to kill ya, We're comin' to kill ya." Looking at the box, you'd think this was a serious horror film with a good premise, but the whole thing is a gag and it lasts an hour and a half sadly. For me personally, it was a total waste of time but I have feeling the big fans of slapstick stupidity, somewhere in the realm of Scary Movie but a tenth of the budget. The only redemption is the cast, and maybe the laughs you get from the over the top ridiculous kills. Steer clear of this one, if you're looking for a real movie. 1/10
