I should preface this by saying that I usually avoid horror movies, particularly horror films that tend to be on the gory side. But i really enjoyed this movie and and all of its goriness. The movie is really funny. I actually found myself laughing out loud which isn't common while watching a 'scary' movie. The story is pretty standard. A group on their way to a wedding have to stop for the night at a bed and breakfast. The group then has to do with a bunch of sort of hillbilly zombies. While the film appears to be made a small budget, that sort of adds to the charm. I also really enjoyed the musical interludes. They were really funny and a highlight of the film for me. Overall just a lot of fun.

Despite the lame title, I had no idea that Dead and Breakfast was a comedy. And yeah, it is pretty funny! You've got the typical group of 20-somethings taking a road trip to attend a friend's wedding, when they get lost and decide to spend the night at an inn. They're all there: Cool cat, stoner, tough-talking girl, nice girl, level-headed girl, dweeb. What sets it apart from most movies like it, is that they don't mysteriously start getting picked off one by one. Several references are made to clichés, such as dead cell phones and forgotten car keys, but they're quick and sly and work! And of course, there's the clueless sheriff and deputy, but they're simply and effectively satirizing those common roles. The gore/splatter level is pretty acceptable for fans of that (like me). Now let's talk about Zack Selwyn. What a hilariously talented singer this guy is. He pops up several times to fill us in on the plot line through awesome little country ditties and each time, he nails it! It gets to the point where you can't wait for him to appear on screen with his acoustic guitar and rhymes. He totally makes this movie worth watching, and definitely the most amusing thing about it. From great lyrics to the absurd "Thriller" dance, this movie belongs to him.

One of the worst movies I've seen in probably the past 5 years, and it has a higher rating than some decent movies. It bothers me that some people on this site simply throw ratings on movies, it makes it difficult to know which movies are ACTUALLY worth renting/watching. Films on the top 250 list are often only given 7-8 stars because users will give them 1 star thinking that it's "funny". IMDb should only allow users to rate if they have established themselves as credible accounts first!!! Some of the music is lyrically amusing, but the acting is just horrendous and I was very close to turning this movie off several different times.Very surprising to see some well known actors in this low budget thriller. Don't waste your time, unless you need a good laugh!!!

Characters - 5/30 I honestly don't remember most of the characters or their traits. They pretty boring and/ or cliché. I remember liking Portia de Rossi, though.Story - 10/30 It had it's moments. The music scene was fantastic. There was some humor. Overall, though, not a great plot line.Atmosphere - 8/15 It had an okay feel to it. The night scenes were done well, and the inn was effective.Effectiveness - 5/15 It's hard not to compare this to the other zombie comedies, and this one is definitely the least effective of them all.Excitement - 2/10 I was very bored with this movie. I tried to like it, but found myself drifting.
