A group of friends on their way to a wedding get lost in the vast Midwest, and are forced to stop for the night. The friendly innkeeper, Mr. Evans (David Carradine), shows them to their rooms then promptly drops dead the next day, forcing the group to stay in town during the investigation. But while the police do their work, a mysterious force sweeps the town, turning its residents into monstrous ghouls with a taste for human flesh. Starring Portia de Rossi, Jeremy Sisto, and Ever Carradine (David's niece), DEAD AND BREAKFAST innovates with a chapter structure punctuated by country music written especially for the film, including a number with the dancing undead.

Reviews for Dead And Breakfast
If you're in the mood for zombie splatter fest filled with cool rockabilly tunes, Dead & Breakfast is where you need to end up.
Reminds me of the slightly retarded mutt in a room full of intelligent purebreds. Yes, it may 'sit' when it's told to 'roll over,' but it tries its best to please you.
A parsing of better splatter flicks; like a Cliff's Note, it's good for cheating but bad for a screenplay.
This little independent gorefest serves up creativity and campiness almost from beginning to end.
It takes more than a singing narrator and an unusual finale to set you apart from the dozens of other zombie flicks being released every week.
Despite some terrific touches, it's too relentlessly corny to provide many thrills.
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.
Matthew Leutwylers horror movie about six young people trapped in a creepy small town goes for parody and fails.
It's hard not to like a movie in which the leader of the zombies uses a decapitated head as a hand puppet.
The blood is raspberry syrup, the gags gag, and the film virtually falls over itself informing us how lame it is.
It's grisly, it's goofy, and it's a damn solid piece of entertainment for the Gorehound crowd.
