Episode 136: Dead and Breakfast
Manage episode 412034184 series 3426320
On paper it should have been good. It had a Hollywood cast of Jeremy Sisto (Clueless), Oz Perkins (Legally Blonde), David Kung Fu Carradine, Harry Dean Morgan... no...Rob Downey Jnr... no... Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Walking Dead) and the trailer was hilarious.
A group of young handsome and beautiful friends including Ever Carradine, Jeremy Sisto, Oz Perkins, Gina Philips and Eric Paladino are heading to mutual friend, Portia De Rossi, get lost and end up staying at David Carridine's bed and breakfast. Carridine's son has died and Carridine uses an old Asian enchanted box to bring his spirit back. The spirit is evil and uses the box to turn all in his wake into zombies, leaving the friends to join forces with Jeffrey Dean Morgan's sheriff and fight off the horde.
This unoriginal Evil Dead 2 rip off is so far from the much touted "American Shaun of the Dead" label it has on the DVD cover that it had to be marked down.
With graphic novel and musical transitions, it is a bitty mess. The trailer was awesome but they put the best bits in the trailer. The other 130 minutes was crap, other than the Night of the Living Dead siege, the dancing, and the improvised shotguns.
We could only give this 4/10 and neither of us would recommend it or watch it again.
