Review:
I can't get enough of the shambling undead. Those silly reanimated cannibals make me laugh no matter what the setting. It used to be disturbing to see a family member or close friend come back to life with an unwavering bloodlust, but nowadays it's just downright funny when your mother comes back to life and bites off your member.

Bed & Breakfast's story follows in the footsteps of films like Evil Dead and Dead Alive (there is even an Evil Dead poster in the closet of the house this takes place in). There is an Asian ritual that is performed to trap a soul which is then unleashed on an unsuspecting backwoods town. The person who is possessed by this spirit is then able to create his own army of undead rednecks to terrorize the young people who are just passing through.

The town-wide slaughter begins quickly and lots of gore is involved. Loss of limbs, flesh-eating, decapitations and general undead tomfoolery. It all culminates in a complete bloodbath at the entitled Bed & Breakfast. Unfortunately, they couldn't tie it all together by having the remaining survivors leave the town via boat instead of a Winnebago. Bring on the senseless slaughter!


Score:
(8 Nolte Heads out of 10)
