The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m trying to devote my time on this blog these days to finding dope YouTube clips of some of the most interesting movies I’ve seen, & when we started talking about the different plateaus of devotion & replication, I remembered the neo-classic Dead & Breakfast<\/em>. The film is a parody of sorts of zombie movies old & new, poking fun while at the same time paying an homage to all the classic movements, lines, & directions that make the zombie “genre” so much fun. Thrown into the mix, though, are randomly interspersed synchronized musical moments that blend the odd line between Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”<\/a> & The Rocky Horror Picture Show<\/em> (for better or worse, after all).<\/p>\n

The movie is absurd, daring, hilarious, & at times terrifying (& as gory as you need it to be, which is always a plus in my mind), very reminiscent of the equally great Shaun of the Dead<\/a><\/em>; it’s often been tagged as the American version of that same film, actually, although they aren’t really based off of one another in any way. In terms of genre-tagging, Dead & Breakfast<\/em> plays off of almost every level, the burlesque especially, but the nostalgic in its different terms & forms as well. It’s possible no one will ever want to see this (especially after that embedded YouTube clip…jeez), but really I couldn’t recommend it more. This is the kind of genre film that people should be watching, in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
