Do you love it or hate it. I really like it but but apparantly this film isn't very popular. What do you think?

I LOVE horror comedies when they are done well, and some of this is done really well, some of it not so well. But its certainly entertaining enough, and yes, its hard not to get a chuckle out of the line dancing zombies scene. So I liked it.

“Dead and Breakfast” is a really fun and over-the-top gorefest.
**SPOILERS**
Trying to find a place to settle down for the night, Christian, (Jeremy Sisto) Kate, (Bianca Lawson) Johnny, (Oz Perkins) Melody, (Gina Phillips) Sara, (Ever Carradine) and David, (Eric Palladino) stop off at a motel run by Mr. Wise, (David Carradine) in the small town of Lovelock. After spending the night, they come under suspicion of the local sheriff, (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) for the murder of some of the locals. When it becomes apparent that they aren’t the suspect during a concert in town, the remaining members of the town head back to the motel and wait out a series of attacks from the possessed members of the town.
The Good News: This is one of the most fun movies recently. Everything in this film spells out fun, but the most obvious part has to be the over-the-top and quite extreme gore. There is practically every type of death used in here. We get a knife in the throat, an impaling, a spike in the head, several gunshots in the head, a stick in the eye, a whole slew of decapitations and blown-off heads and faces, a hammer in the head, a chainsaw in the neck, a drill in the head, chainsawed limbs, an arrow in the back, vicious beatings and several stabbings. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the gore in here and is delivered with the grand old tradition of the splatter past. This is one of the biggest reasons why it’s so good, as well as the injection of some well-timed and completely hilarious moments. From the simplest one-liners spouted off during the climax to the physical gags, such as the insane moment where one character discovers a dead body and begins slipping and sliding on the blood on the floor to get away, this is quite funny and is really laugh-out-loud during the entire film. Despite the laughs provided by those already mentioned, it’s incredibly hard to find a particular highlight for the humor, as it’s just funny all the way through. The pace is so fast that it barely stops and keeps moving along from one scene to the next at a breakneck form, allowing for some really good action scenes. The brawl in the bar and the whole ending shoot-out in the house are some of the highlights, but they’re all out there and all make this a fun watch. There is very little to complain about.
The Bad News: There is very little in here that I didn’t like about it, and that all stems from the country singer interludes. Not that they’re bad, for they’re quite hilarious, but they just feel really out of place in the film. They stop the film cold to have them, and are preceded by a comic book-style drawing of the previous scene. It’s funny but out of place, and is the main problem I have with this. It’s a fun ride.
The Final Verdict: With only one main problem hampering this one, it’s a real all-around fun time. It’s gory, it’s funny, action-packed and never gets boring. It’s really hard to find a group who won’t like this one, so go ahead and give it a shot. It’s well worth it.
Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence and Graphic Language

I've never bothered with this one mainly due my deep lothing for country music.

Yeah, if you don't like country music, bits of this film could be annoying, but there are some fantastic parts of this film which I'm sure you'd enjoy.

I went through Howling VII: New Moon Rising which is even more troublesome in that department than this one and I hate that genre with a vengeance. It's something to complain about while everything else is great, like what I thought of Dead and Breakfast.
