Editorial Review:
Six friends on their way to a wedding in Galveston, TX stop for the night at a quaint bed and breakfast in the sleepy town of Lovelock. But after a night that ends with both the inn’s owner and his chef dead, the gang finds themselves under suspicion by the local sheriff. The mystery quickly unravels when the already bizarre residents of the town become possessed by an evil spirit and pin the friends down at the b&b. Armed with a rusty chainsaw, a can of gasoline and a half box of shotgun shells, they must barricade the house and fight for their lives.
Dead and Breakfast Reviews:
One of the Funniest Movies I've Ever Seen 
2007-08-28 - When six people on their way to a wedding in Galveston stop over night in the small town of Lovelock, Texas, they find themselves in the middle of a zombie uprising. Technically, they are not zombies, but you still have to chop their heads off. Hilarity ensues.
The main character are each richly drawn and beautifully acted. The town is populated by the sort of persons you might actually encounter in rural Texas, all lovingly parodied. The country rap musical score is perfect. The zombies even provide their own tunes after the local band is possessed.
Anybody who does not burst out laughing when the zombies, to their own musical accompaniment, do a line dance prior to assaulting the boarding house must have no sense of humor.
Should be zero stars. 
2007-04-16 - This movie is so terrible it's hard to explain. I saw this when it first came out, my brother rented it because it said Shaun of the Dead on the cover. My brother is fooled easily, that would have been the red flag that would have made me NOT rent this crap. I remember watching it and thinking, when does this get funny, when will I like a character, when will it get even a couple miles in range of being scary? This "movie", full of it's lame overdone plot and crap actors reciting crap lines is just another movie that should be forgotten by everyone. Sadly, "horror" fans will cling to this trash because the classics just aren't good enough. Don't rent this, don't buy this, don't even look at the cover! Don't make me regret wasting my time writing about this turd of a film. I wish I was a billionaire so I could buy every copy and burn them all!
You would want to see this one again 
2006-02-21 - Okay, we rented this film for a laugh or rather a chuckle. We expected it to be as bad as the case said it would be: (paraphrasing) If you've ever seen a bad horror move, this one is worse.
Wrong. How very wrong. This film is good, even though it had the potential of being very bad.
One, the performers do a nice job because if they were bad, the movie would've been. Two, no one takes themselves or the film seriously-that important. The film is quirky and the director does nothing to hide that. Three, and this helps, there is no memorable bad language and nudity. Strangely enough this film carries itself-there's a plot which is followed logically to a conclusion.
Finally, you would want to see this one again. Also, the film is conveniently left with "sequel" potential, too. Now, sit back, relax and enjoy.
Entertaining, but Vacuous in the extreme; R Rated Edition
2006-02-05 - Whoever said that this film is the US answer to SHAUN OF THE DEAD has obviously not seen or understood SHAUN OF THE DEAD.
I got the R rated edition of this film since I had not realised that an UNRATED edition existed.
This film is something like Michael Jackson's thriller meets, Buffy, meets ... every dreadful example of film work ever.
There is one EVIL DEAD moment where a film poster( the Raised Hand motif) appears with the cover of EVIL DEAD, but an altered Title, however it is clearly the EVIL DEAD poster.
The core story for this film is actually quite interesting. IF someone had made an effort and worked the script, it may have made a very good film.
However, the start of the descent into silliness is the pie scene just when Diedrich Bader's character is found dead. The slipping around looks like a 3 Stooges Sketch, which is point two in the rip off Sam Raimi sub plot.
The continual useage of the singing plot links is REALLY silly.
It does have some entertainment value, but if this is the best Independent Horror film of the year, then the crop of Indie Horror films is VERY bad, and VERY low quality.
The extras are probably of the same quality as the film, but some of the bloopers are better than the film ... and the extended film scenes, and deleted scenes are probably better than the real thing in the film.
Do NOT pay more than 10 dollars for this film. See if you can get it as a tax write off to the company that produced the film :-)
See one of the worst horror movies with one of the worst plots
2006-02-03 - Even in the description of the movie at the theatre said it
was bad. Its supposed to be. A group of friends on a road
trip get lost and guess what? Have to stay at a hotel, which turns psycho. Already predictable. Its funny in places. The scene in the kitchen with the guy eating the blueberries is
the scene I laughed the hardest. Some scenes are just plain
gruesome. Like That one close up of the guy getting stabbed in the head with a garden hoe and then all the blood and guts spewing out of him. Hard to watch. So, people start getting killed one by one, and the friends try to survive as the town slowly starts turning into zombies. This is where it starts getting stupid. And I mean bad horror. The scenes that cut to the gas station guy singing with guitar get weirder. Expecially the, " we're coming to get you," song. The reason behind seeing this is because its so bad. Some of it hillarious. The end of the movie is defintley the worst part.
