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. Apr 21, 2005 Full Review Anita Gates New York Times Matthew Leutwylers horror movie about six young people trapped in a creepy small town goes for parody and fails. Rated: 1/5 Apr 20, 2005 Full Review 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. Rated: 3/4 Apr 20, 2005 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed I laughed, I marveled at Gina Philips and Ever Carradine, and did I mention that I laughed? Rated: 3/4 Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Johnny Butane Dread Central If you're in the mood for zombie splatter fest filled with cool rockabilly tunes, Dead & Breakfast is where you need to end up. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 1, 2006 Full Review Alex Sandell Juicy Cerebellum 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. Rated: 7/10 Sep 29, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Andy S (I'm Mistletoe Virus I'm saying I love this movie!) This movie is a cross between Evil Dead 2 and Shawn of the dead Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/23 Full Review Just B Love it. I no longer have the dvd and I can't find it streaming or on vudu. Definitely want back in my collection Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review justin t The story was unoriginal. The bloody gory violence was good fun. The singing and cartoons between scenes kept the pace up and gave a quirky style. Overall the film is a little tacky but there is some humour and tonnes of bloody killing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Dead & Breakfast is absolutely outrageously the best zombie horror-comedy with gore and slapstick comedy and musical numbers. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best enjoyable low budget horror films ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a Fun Slapstick Horror Movie. Yes its over the top but its supped to be. It Emulates There's Something About Mary's Greek chorus/Minstrels that sings and comments on the plot throughout the movie. In dead & Breakfast's case The Singer and his band start off the movie human and turn into zombies but they keep their job of singing throughout. I really enjoyed it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
