A handful of twentysomethings are driving to Galveston, TX, in an RV to attend the wedding of a close friend. After a long day on the road, the travelers find themselves in a tiny town called Lovelock, where the only available accommodations are at a bed and breakfast run by the eccentric Mr. Wise (David Carradine). One of the kids, Johnny (Oz Perkins), notices that Mr. Wise is carefully looking after a small box; curious about its contents, Johnny opens it, only to unleash a torrent of evil spirits who turn the local rednecks into bloodthirsty creatures hovering somewhere between life and death. Dead & Breakfast features supporting performances by Portia de Rossi, Diedrich Bader, Jeremy Sisto, and David Carradine's daughter Ever Carradine; co-star Oz Perkins is also the offspring of a well-known actor, Anthony Perkins. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Dennis Harvey, Variety
This strenuous zombie yukfest is no more sophisticated than its nail-on-head title -- making it a joke no smarter than the movies it riffs on.
-
Anita Gates, New York Times
Matthew Leutwylers horror movie about six young people trapped in a creepy small town goes for parody and fails.
-
Russell Scott Smith, New York Post
It's hard not to like a movie in which the leader of the zombies uses a decapitated head as a hand puppet.
-
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
The blood is raspberry syrup, the gags gag, and the film virtually falls over itself informing us how lame it is.

Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
I laughed, I marveled at Gina Philips and Ever Carradine, and did I mention that I laughed?
