SHOCKtober! Dead & Breakfast
This is a pretty entertaining flick. It mixes the “teens break down” bit with the “haunted house” bit, and adds in some zombie-ish scares for good measure. But Dead & Breakfast is more comedy than horror. Think of it as Shaun of the Dead, only not nearly as good…despite what Ain’t it Cool says on that poster over there.
So to sum up, a group of teenagers wind up staying at a Bed & Breakfast. Soon, the creepy owner and chef wind up dead and the teens are prime suspects. But that’s just the beginning. While they’re trapped in the small, redneck town, one of the teens accidentally unleashes some sort of supernatural spirit and before you know it, the whole town is possessed…and homicidal.
Dead & Breakfast isn’t a great movie, but it’s definitely worth the watch. It’s about on par with 2001 Maniacs, which we talked about a few days back. It’s got a few laughs, more than a few eye-rolling moments, and a handful of good kills. We’ve certainly talked about worse movies this month. Oh, and David Carradine is in it.
