Dead & Breakfast (2005)
Six friends on a road trip stop for the night at a bed and breakfast in the sleepy town of Lovelock. After a night that leaves both the inn's owner and chef dead, the gang finds themselves under suspicion by the local sheriff. But that's only the beginning as nearly all of the town's quirky residents become possessed by an evil spirit and pin down the friends inside the B&B.

Absolutely Fantastic
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Hilarious and gory, two things I look for in a movie! If you love Evil Dead, or even Evil Dead The Musical THIS IS FOR YOU. Friends driving to a wedding stop in a middle of nowhere town for the night. When the owner of the bed and breakfast dies suddenly all hell breaks loose, no pun intended. Axes, chainsaws and homemade pipe guns are the weapons of choice for the gang who tries to defend themselves against the newly became zombie town. Fun and entertaining Dead and Breakfast fits the needs for horror fans by giving them something new but very familiar all at the same time.Zombies, blood,guts, and a dance sequence you cannot go wrong!
After becoming lost while driving to a wedding in Galveston, six friends—Johnny, Sara, Kate, Melody, Christian, and David—decide to spend the night at a bed and breakfast in the hick town of Lovelock. But their stay is not to be a pleasant one: the establishment's chef is found murdered; Mr. Wise (David Carradine), the creepy owner of the guest house, suffers from a heart attack; and Johnny becomes possessed by the Kuman Thong, an evil spirit that is intent on turning everyone into mindless zombies.Dead and Breakfast displays such a broad range of comedy, from genuinely witty dialogue, to outrageous splat-stick, to the downright surreal, that as far as laughs go, it's very much a hit and miss affair; but although it doesn't always succeed at being 'funny', it's does manage to be a lot of 'fun', thanks to a continuously unpredictable, freewheeling approach that incorporates (badly drawn) comic-book scene transitions, Cat Ballou-style musical interludes, and buckets and buckets of gore (a juicy range of exploding heads, decapitations, and dismemberment).It takes a while to get to the really entertaining stuff—the gory stand-off between the living and the possessed that involves the use of assorted blunt and sharp implements, home-made shotguns and a chainsaw (natch!)—but the film is just so damn quirky that getting there is half the fun.Whilst not as good as Shaun of the Dead (as the quote on the packaging claims), Dead and Breakfast still has enough manic energy and gruesome imagination to keep fans of OTT horror happy for the duration.6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.
A bunch of the usual brainless 20 somethings are driving to a wedding. They consist of the nerd (Oz Perkins), the oversexed Italian stud (Erik Palladino), the sweet lovable naive brunette (Gina Philips), the foul-mouthed black girl (Bianca Lawson) and two more than have no personalities whatsoever (Jeremy Sisto, Ever Carradine). They get lost and have to spend the night in a little town called Lovelock. Things get strange and it ends up with most of the town being possessed by an evil demon and going after the ones who aren't.Strange doesn't begin to cover this one. It starts as a conventional slasher horror film with large doses of humor and turns into a huge gore fest with some real black (but funny) humor. The body parts and blood go flying in this one--I saw the cut R rated version and was impressed at how much violence even that got by with. The story doesn't make much sense but you'll be too entertained to really care. Also the film's off the wall and black humor somehow fits in with it. Add in a country western singer with some very funny songs acting as a Greek chorus to the movie and cameos by David Carradine and Portia de Rossi and you have a very strange and VERY gory bun fun flick. This was (pretty obviously) made on a low budget but you can see that everybody went out of their way to make this work. An 8.
This isn't the American version of Shaun of the Dead. It really started out slow and wasn't going anywhere until one of the group started dancing around in a pool of blood on the floor.Every once in a while the action is interrupted by some twanger who is trying to reveal what is happening through song.Once the box is opened, the zombies are unleashed and then things do get interesting with a slew of killings that involve blood, cymbals, blood, garden clippers, blood, claw hammers, blood, decapitations, etc. Lots of spewing and dying.Director Matthew Leutwyler must be doing something right as he is supposedly directing a remake of Creepshow.
