Audience Reviews for Dead & Breakfast

Dec 26, 2011

Only a little bit funny, it's painfull to watch the whole film with all the nasty actors/characters and bad scripting. It's a bad copycat of Shaun of the Dead.

To me...this film is just one big joke. If it weren't a musical, (yeah, I said musical) I would probably give it a chhance, despite the non-funny humor. However, there was blood, so I'll give it just a little credit. Otherwise, it is terrible. Do not watch it.

"The US answer to Shaun of the Dead" - it is not. But for a clearly low budget film, it holds its own. Silly, outlandish horror comedy...
