Better Than Ghostel

Title:  Dead and Breakfast

Actors/Director/Anything Worth Mentioning Right Away:   Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jeremy Sisto, David Carradine, Diedrich Bader and several other actors along those lines star in this movie.  

Introduction:  I once tried to buy this movie as Games Plus but was unable to because of a long story I won’t get into again.   I actually won this DVD on eBay as part of a lot of zombie movies.   The title alone makes you want to own this one.

Location:  They start on a road trip and then end up at a bed and breakfast (duh) and a barn.

Plot:   Two girls (one brunette, one blonde) and three guys (two who look like Jeremy Sisto, one who doesn’t) are driving to Galveston, Texas when they get lost or just decide they’ve gone the wrong way.   They end up at a small bed and breakfast where they meet both Oswald from The Drew Carey Show and Bill from the Kill Bill movies.   Gina Phillips, who I actually remember from other things, has one of the few good roles in here, as she is on the way to the wedding of someone she kind of doesn’t like, which results in some hilarious phone calls with Portia de Rossi.   The other girl (the blonde) is Ever Carradine, but she’s the daughter of Robert “Revenge of the Nerds” Carradine, not the brother featured in here.   It’s also of interest to note that she looks remarkably like Uma Thurman.   So there is this wandering traveler guy the Scooby Doo gang meets in jail and he has foretold some prophecy about this magical box that is in the possession of David Carradine’s character.   Without going into too much detail, the box basically sucks up people’s souls and then takes over their bodies turning them into zombies.   So this movie pretty much turns into a zombie affair even if it does take a bit too long.

Acting:   The people that you know should put on good roles deliver, the others remain questionable.

Production:  It looks like it could have been in theaters, though I don’t think it was.

Sex/Nudity:  No, not so much.

Special Effects:  The blood and everything looks good to me.   It was one of the best features of this film.

Overall Verdict:   Of all the things that I could say about this movie, the one thing you have to enjoy is the rock-a-billy soundtrack that is constantly playing throughout.   Whether or not this movie appeals to you, you’ll probably end up liking it just for the music.
