Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006) User Reviews

It's Tromarific!!!

[LoneWolfAndCub · 9/10 · 5 April 2008]

Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead is Troma's latest offering and easily one of their best movies. Loaded with everything that makes Troma awesome; copious gore, breasts, sex, lesbians, political incorrectness, scatological humour, fat people, slime, car crashes...did I mention gore and sex?? Poultrygeist tells the wonderful story of an American Chicken Bunker fast food store being built on an Ancient Indian Burial Ground (the 'Tromahawk' tribe, to be precise). Young Arbie decides to work there to defy his now ex-girlfriend (who is now a lesbian). What follows is, in typical Troma style, the employees fending off a horde of zombie-chickens who want to the humans flesh.

Lloyd Kaufman has returned to his 'Toxic Avenger' roots and gone for a gross-out comedy/musical/horror that is so much fun, it is hard not to love. Consistently funny the whole way through, with some excellent musical numbers and some truly disgusting special effects, 'Poultrygeist' proves that morally incorrect satire is still alive and kicking. The fact that movies like 'Meet the Spartans' get theatrical releases and this doesn't further proves something needs to be done to get these far superior flicks out for everyone else to enjoy.

Of course, you have to take into account that the acting is not that good (although surprisingly passable), it looks cheap, the story is incredibly random and illogical and it IS shocking. The point of the movie is to be as foul as possible, and it works. The last 20 minutes are a non-stop gore-fest that is bound to please gorehounds around the world.

4½/5

this is troma

[trashgang · 3/10 · 9 July 2010]

Troma. What can I say. You love or you hate them. I don't hate them, I have seen some watchable movies but this one was surely not my cup of tea. I have no problem with comedy in horror but this is a bit too childish. It's all about farts and other jokes. They even put some songs in it, a musical they call it. Sorry, it was a turn off for me. Oh yeah, a lot of tits and a lot of gore but it didn't bother me. Troma surely isn't made for me but I can understand that people love it. For comedy/horror I would rather recommend Lesbian Vampire Killers or Doghouse. No really, it was okay to see the guy being turned inside out in the beginning, but the constantly sound of farts, to much for me that is.

The best cinematic experience of my life.

[this_email_Address_is · 10/10 · 10 December 2007]

It was disgusting, perverse, and childish, and I loved every minute of it--including the times I wanted to throw up. There were quite a few of those. If you're a longtime Troma fan, or if you just like the idea of a musical about zombie chickens full of nudity, gore, and satire, then this movie is for you. The first five minutes delivered more than most movies can in two hours. It was the best Troma movie I've ever seen. The acting was actually good! Don't wait for it to come out on video. Find a theater near you that shows it. I drove 2 hours to see it, and I regret nothing. Nothing. Thank you, Lloyd Kaufman. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Well knock me down with a feather: a good Troma film.

[BA_Harrison · 7/10 · 16 April 2008]

I'm not a Troma fan, usually finding their films too amateurish and puerile for even me to enjoy. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, however, is actually pretty good.

Like most of their output, it's been made for chicken feed, and features the usual Troma ingredients: gratuitous T&A, shonky OTT gore FX, awful politically incorrect gags, crap direction, and shoddy acting from an extremely untalented cast. But it also manages to be pretty damn funny (there's loads of biting satire and some fun one-liners) and is so deliriously demented that it's almost impossible not to enjoy. Oh... and it's also a musical!!!

The plot to Poultrygeist is every bit as bird-brained as the title suggests: when a fast food outlet is built on the site of an ancient Indian burial ground, the result is possessed deep-fried portions of chicken which turn those who eat it into carnivorous zombie fowl. Battling for survival against the feathered undead are American Chicken Bunker counter-'girl' Arbie (Jason Yachanin) and his lesbian girlfriend Wendy (Kate Graham). Will Arbie and Wendy successfully fly the coop, or will they end up pecked to death?

Directed by Troma head honcho Lloyd Kauffman, this film is aimed squarely at the kind of twisted freaks who actively seek out the outrageous and the downright disgusting—so naturally I had to watch it. And, for the most part, Poultrygeist hits the target.

With loads of gross-out gore, plenty of nekkidness, and dubious jokes about bestiality, lesbianism, terrorism, homosexuality, racism, and bowel movements, there is something here to offend everyone! All of this unwholesome content is regularly punctuated by song and dance routines that, although hardly on a par with Sondheim or Lloyd Webber, are still a lot of fun.

The only thing that really lets the film down is its running time: 103 minutes is a bit long for this kind of movie, and the joke does start to wear a bit thin towards the end.

Still, after all that I've said about Troma films in the past, Poultrygeist leaves me with egg on my face!

Great dramatic potential, but they had to make it into a musical!

[siderite · 3/10 · 23 February 2010]

The movie is in the same time gory, funny, stupid, musical (complete with dance routines), offensive, gross , racist and it features Ron Jeremy in a cameo. It's what you get when you build a chicken fast food on an Native American burial ground in Tromaville.

You have to understand that I just had to watch it all. I knew it was sick, but I did it anyway. I rated it 3 stars because the musical scenes annoyed me, otherwise I would have rated it 2, that is: so bad it is worth watching.

Truth be told, the movie had great potential for fun, I was in a continued state of disgust but with a happy smile on my face at the same time. However, the jokes almost turned into one of those Scary Movie kind and that potential was partially lost.

It is not with zombie chickens, but people zombies with chicken attributes. It is not really a horror movie, but a parody. It is what you would get for crossing American Pie with Poltergeist, Scary Movie and a political movie against fast food chains. Damn effective, too. I can't imagine anyone actually eating chicken after they saw this film. You will find yourselves unconsciously ordering veal or pork and not know why :)

Bottom line: could have been better, but who am I kidding? They never went for quality here. Had some good jokes amongst a lot of average to bad ones.

Shocked, Offended, Grossed Out...And It Was Hilarious!

[Samualt · 9/10 · 27 July 2008]

This was my first Troma film and the most outrageous thing I've ever seen. It is not for the faint of heart or straight laced ignoramuses. This is gonzo cinema all the way. It contains lots of blood, slime, low ball humor, nudity, singing, more blood, more slime, some more blood, and even more disgusting low ball humor. This movie gets really really disgusting and silly in case you haven't guessed. So, get some friends together, grab some brews, and laugh till you drop. The talented and beautiful Kate Graham does some fine acting as well as the lead Jason Yachanin. The movie couldn't have been cast better. The plot may be a little silly but it works well for this genre (comedy horror exploitation.) A must see!

Troma-ctic experience

[kosmasp · 7/10 · 17 May 2020]

Quite the disturbing one at that. We have a movie here that goes ... well all out? Has not sense of sensitivity? Anything at all that does not involve balls or walls they might be attached to - you choose the family friendly version you like best. On the other hand, if you need a family friendly version of that, this movie certainly isn't for you.

Troma is known for "bad taste" and Lloyd Kaufman made quite a dent in the low budget world. This is another example and if you are not easily offended by the juvenille style, you may even have fun watching this. But it does involve a lot of violence, gore, splatter and other effects - and a lot of nudity. The jokes are not sensible at all, really offending anyone and anything under the sun. In this case the setting is a stab against fast food, but with KFC being in the center of it. It may bring some people to the verge of becoming vegetarians I reckon ... but that will be up to you.

The movie tries to entertain and make fun (depending on your sense of humor) - does it work? Not easy to say ... but there is love for this and other movies. Even if jokes do not land where they are supposed to ...

"The chickens! The chickens have come back from the dead!!"

[schism101 · 9/10 · 1 June 2008]

If you love troma, then you will no doubt be wanting to see Lloyd Kaufman's latest opus POULTRYGEIST: NIGHT OF THE CHICKEN DEAD. It is one of the most entertaining films that i've had the pleasure to sit through. You want OTT, then this film brings it, almost outdoing itself, yet still filled with enough ideas, action and humour that can fill a 100 films! The simple plot is, the American chicken bunker fast food chain has built a new restaurant over an ancient Indian burial ground, yet unbeknowist to them, the Indian spirits are restless and seeking revenge, leading to the body's of the dead chickens coming back to life and causing havoc all around, while at the same time our hero, Arbie, has to fend off the mutant chicken zombies, while trying to win back his former girlfriend, Wendy, who has become a 'left wing lipstick lesbian!' Nothing is sacred in tromaville and everything is under attack, from right wing bigots, left wing protesters, jihad obsessed suicide bombers, Indians, the handicapped, the American public in general, corporate culture and political correctness all backed by buckets of bloody over the top gore and musical numbers!! If you have a chance to see this then do so, as you will not regret seeing it, though be warned its troma, so leave your sense of seriousness at the door!!

Troma is Back! Gorier, trashier and more demented than ever!

[Coventry · 10/10 · 14 April 2007]

The last genuine Troma class-sick got released almost a decade ago already ("Terror Firmer"), but "Poultrygeist" was definitely worth waiting for all these years! Lloyd Kaufman and C° truly surpassed themselves with this over-the-top gooey, absurd, chaotic and unbelievably entertaining splatter-flick that easily ranks amongst the eccentric production company's best efforts, next to "The Toxic Avenger", "Mother's Day" and "The Incredible Torture Show". This movie doesn't feature a single serious moment and the script is just a non-stop spitfire of immature toilet-humor, unsubtle political satire, goofy sleaze, retarded dialogs & song-lyrics and repulsively gross make-up effects. The crazy title doesn't only sound cool, there actually is a connection with Spielberg's ghost story "Poltergeist", as the basic premise also revolves on the desecration of an ancient Indian burial ground, only the elaboration of the idea is *slighty* more grotesque. The fast-food chain American Chicken Bunker built a new restaurant in Tromaville where the cursed burial ground used to be and the furious spirits of the Native Americans invade the carcasses of the frozen chickens to attack the obese & disrespectful guests. Local dork Arbie applies for a job at ACB, only to annoy his ex-girlfriend Wendy who turned into a college-lesbian and protests against the exploitation of poor defenseless chickens. Eventually Arbie, Wendy and a handful of other survivors will have to save the world from a constantly increasing army of zombie-chickens. What a totally demented movie! You can't really blame Lloyd Kaufman of discriminating certain races or social classes, because he offensively assaults everyone! The satire is mainly aimed at the American fast-food industry and military propaganda, but Kaufman simultaneously makes fun of Hollywood, the battle of the sexes and every type of religious belief. The gore & splatter is nauseating and outrageous, but – as usual with Troma – the effect is more hilarious than shocking. You'll see people transform into humongous chickens, exaggeratedly wild fountains of spurting blood, decapitations & crushed heads, nasty green vomit and – especially – a whole lot of unconventional stuff either going in or coming out of people's rear end. Usually I don't even like musicals, but the song lyrics in "Poultrygeist" are equally deranged and scandalous as the rest of the screenplay. Maintaining good old Troma-traditions, this new effort also contains a lot of rancid nudity (male & female), tasteless camera-work and a whole lot of delightful cameos of Kaufman's old friends, like Ron Jeremy and Trey Parker. I'm rating this 10/10 for pure entertainment value and nostalgia. I really don't care if it's basically just utter crap and provocative nonsense, it's 100% guaranteed fun

Repeatedly showing the same gross stuff over n over again aint funny n in fact tedious.

[Fella_shibby · 2/10 · 4 November 2020]

I saw this for the first time recently n found it to be boring, gross n not at all humourous. Fast forwarded many scenes of unnecessary oodles of blood, repulsive stuff n all.

Consumers, staff and ordinary citizens are trapped inside a chicken fast food restaurant, which is being attacked by a chicken-possessed zombie demonic alien spirit because the building is erected on top of a sacred Native American burial ground. Generous with a 2 cos of some lovely boobs.

Totally stupid packed with recycled jokes

[metalrage666 · 2/10 · 14 April 2013]

I had high expectations when I settled in to watch this, (well, as high as one can get with a Troma movie), however even for them this seems to be nothing more than an drunken excuse to sully their "So bad it's good" reputation. To say that this movie took so many years from script writing to the final product is really indicative of the problems that are obvious throughout the movie as it doesn't gel together like many other Troma films seem to do.

This movie is just plain bad in every sense. It starts off fine enough with a young couple, (Arbie & Wendy), getting it on in a old Native American burial ground and before you know it, in typical Troma fashion, the place gets bulldozed and paved over to make way for a burger joint. Suffice to say, the deceased members of the "Tromahawk" tribe are none too happy about it.

Arbie has returned to the spot of his one and only sexual encounter and found that burger chain, American Chicken Bunker now stands on the site and Wendy has become a lesbian who's in the midst of protesting the fast-food chain along with her activist girlfriend. So naturally Arbie decides the best way to get revenge, is to get a job there.

From there the movie seems to really lack that panache that made many other Troma movies, as low-budget as they may be, enjoyable to watch. I didn't really see the point in having musical numbers throughout the movie, which just slowed it right down. After the first 2 songs, I found myself fast-forwarding the rest as they didn't even add to the story.

With a movie like this, you expect bad acting, poor effects, little story, nudity and over-the-top death and dismemberment scenes, yet even knowing this before hand, still won't prepare you for this futile attempt at making a low-budget and watchable movie. The sort of stuff that made Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke Em High and the original Mothers Day etc. the trashy classics that they are.

There are quite a number of disgusting and inventive torturous death scenes and random displays of nudity in Poultrygeist to keep most fans of exploitive movies happy throughout, (the woman who gets her breast implants ripped out is a new one), however if you're no stranger to Troma films, there's very little that hasn't been done before. Instead of Zombie Rednecks, Zombie Kids or Rabid Grannies, it's simply Zombie Chicken people who are now disemboweling people, which leaves me to wonder why even make a movie like this. The overall premise of the story is trashy enough to make a fun blood-drenched movie, but the singing, child-like acting and recycled humour just made it boring to watch, (I fell asleep twice while watching this), so there's my summation of Poultrygeist - A snooze-fest.

Kiosk Rating <1

[westsideschl · 2/10 · 28 December 2011]

The best part of the film is in the bonus features and is from a person who walked around with a camera documenting everyone involved in making the film as it was sort of being made. It showed the anger, frustration, cussing, ineptness behind the scenes. After seeing that, which I suggest viewers see before seeing the film, I can understand why the target audience is 10 to 14 year old males given that the adults actors were, for the most part, regressing to or never egressed from that period in life. Yes, we all know it's all a very low budget spoof of the sex/horror stuff that's been around for decades. But, whether it's high or low budget the "for money & status" task of simply redoing without creativity or imagination is just plain boring.

Acting? Never was a consideration unless you count one or two, brought in for 10 seconds or so, cameo spots. Setting? An abandoned fast food restaurant. Props, costumes? Reused from previous movies for the most part. Rubber penis; Halloween store nasty trick stuff; fake internal organs; detached plastic/rubber legs, arms, heads. I wonder if the gallons of fake blood and green gooey stuff was previously used?

The inverse ratio test of quality: Over 200 special thanks/citizen volunteers; 28 personal assistants; 26 songs. That's too much low quality filler. I wonder if Rome got to this point before it fell?

The Troma I Know And Love

[gavin6942 · 7/10 · 3 May 2013]

When Arbie's girlfriend turns out to be a lesbian, he decides not to go to college but to work at the American Chicken Bunker where she always protests. One thing, the American Chicken Bunker was built on an Ancient Indian Burial Ground and on Toxic Waste.

This is bloody, gory, full of gratuitous nudity, vomit and bodily fluids (not to mention poop)... this is Troma. And it references other Troma films (Toxic Avenger, Tromeo and Juliet). And it is a musical.

I recall Uncle Lloyd promoting this film for years, and I half-thought it would never happen and half-thought if it did that the film would be pieced together so poorly that it would be worthless. I was wrong on both counts. While not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, that would not be a Troma film if it was. Not since "Terror Firmer" (1999) have we seen a film like this. Welcome back!

You'll laugh, you'll scream, you'll wish you hadn't eaten

[CarolynneD · 7/10 · 24 August 2007]

By offending absolutely everyone, POULTRYGEIST can offend no one ... and even if it did, they would be laughing too hard to do anything about it. Nothing is safe from ridicule in this gory TROMA comedy -- fast food people, lesbian people, fat people, Middle Eastern people, Latino people, zombie people, middle-aged male people in scout skirts and thongs ... they all get Tromatized! In addition to buckets of chocolate pudding, chicken guts and lime gelatin, this movie also contains singing and dancing, which sends an over-the-top film right over the edge. Bring a strong stomach, a sense of humor ... and any friends who don't take themselves too seriously.

Troma fans unite, and rejoice at the release of POULTREYGIEST!

[guerillaentertainment · 10/10 · 24 September 2007]

This film may be the most absurd, violent, gory offensive and hysterical film I have ever seen!

I loved every minute of it!

Troma fans delight, Lloyd has returned with a film definitely worth waiting all of these years for, and he pulls no punches and makes no appologies. There is at least one thing in this film to offend nearly everyone in the audience.

It is gleefully sick and twisted and made me laugh so hard that I cried and my stomach hurt. One person in the row with me nearly vomited!

It will not be coming to DVD for quite some time, so if this film comes to your town GO SEE IT AT ALL COSTS! You will not be disappointed!

Just What You'd Expect from Troma

[Michael_Elliott · 13 October 2009]

Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006)

*** (out of 4)

Outrageous horror spoof from Troma delivers just about every sick joke and vile thought that one movie could possibly have. A chicken restaurant opens up on the grounds of a Native American grave site, which doesn't sit too well with those buried there. After people eat some tainted chicken, they turn into chicken zombies and begin to eat humans. I'm not a die-hard Troma fan even though I love THE TOXIC AVENGER as well as a couple other movies they delivered throughout the past couple of decades. With that said, this is pure classic trash as I'm quite sure that I've never seen anything like this. The amount of vile jokes know no limits as it's clear from the opening five minutes that this movie is willing to go as far as it can in order to get a laugh. A lot of the humor comes from bathroom humor including a point of view shot of a man sitting on the toilet and delivering something that will have most viewers hitting their eject button. Not only do we get that but we also have people puking on one another, sex between a redneck and a chicken, a butt plug via a zombie finger, lesbian chicken lovers, cannibals, jokes aimed at "Jared" of Subway fame and countless other things that can't be mentioned here. The movie, as is the norm for Troma, sets out to offend everyone no matter their color or gender and they succeed here unlike anything they've done before. The movie also contains the typical sex, nudity and violence that we've come to expect from the studio. The performance are actually a lot better than one might expect with Joshua Olatunde really stealing the film as the black store manager who spent all of his grandmother's money trying to open this chicken shop. Jason Yachanin does fine work as the lead as does Kate Graham and even Ron Jeremy in his cameo. Those who hate Troma films are certain to hate this one but I guarantee that you've never seen anything like this before. The horror spoofs work well, the vile humor even better. This isn't a masterpiece of cinema but it's pretty close in terms of trash.

Unbelievable

[arminio · 10/10 · 13 August 2007]

I saw it at Slovenian Grossmann film festival before few days (with Lloyd introducing the movie by himself!) and I am stunned! This is without doubt absolutely the most pleasantly outrageous Troma movie so far! And, boy, it is funny as hell and "takes no prisoners" while making parody of everything - from American style of living, fast food chains, American political & military situation, gay&lesbian groups, terrorism... to zombie movies in general and classic movie clichés... Filled with some inventive and never-before-seen over the top gore (occasionally it is gorier and in the same time funnier than Braindead!), extremely catchy songs, tons of humor and Lloyd in thongs, this is instant Troma classic!

Bravo Lloyd!

Loved Every Minute Of It

[ary08004 · 8/10 · 4 April 2008]

Oh joy of joys,why aren't there more movies like this around.From the opening scene in the cemetery,the songs,"Fast Food Love",is no.1 on my hit parade"MY MEAT IN YOUR BUNS MAKES A SPECIAL SAUCE",LOL,and should be on everybody's,funny as hell yet somehow,bizarrely,touching.The chemistry between the two leads is obvious,and is why this movie works so well for me,apart from the hundreds of other crazy scenes and dialouge.Troma somehow melds all this craziness and disgustingly hilarious anarchy into an almost perfect piece of z-grade pap,but as with almost all Troma film's,there always seems to be an underlying "eco" message in there somewhere,where i'm not exactly,sure but you just know it's in there somewhere.But hey don't take my word for it,buy it,rent it,watch it at a drive-in,(perfect drive-in fare),but whatever you do ,indulge.8/10.

Good effort but bit too much ..

[amitindia2008 · 5/10 · 21 March 2008]

The movie started well but ended up with too much of non sense and forced comedy. Comparatively other movies like Braindead and Shawn of the dead were miles ahead.

It would help to have some laughs but can get on nerves after sometime. Too many songs and less of story line scored the movie down. Don't go by those over exaggerated reviews...

If you are desperate to watch a movie to have few laughs then it might do well for sometime. But i was not happy with how the movie was carried further.

The acting was reasonable.

I will give it a 5.

i would recommend black comedies like botched rather.

So bad it's... Bad.

[npettinato14 · 2/10 · 7 December 2012]

Troma has become self-aware in its flagrant appeal to the "so bad its good" crowd. That concept can be hilariously funny, but only when played straight. Movies like "Troll 2" are entertaining because the director had a serious horror flick in mind, but lacked the budget or (more often) talent to execute his vision.

"Poultrygeist" pretends to be a schlocky, Z-grade flick, but it actually comes full circle and remains awful. The jokes are intended to be low-brow and the effects are an intentional nudge to low-budget horror. This is a bit like the woman from the "Where's the beef?" commercials of the 1980s. It was initially funny, but once the gag has been played over-and-over, ad nauseum, it becomes pathetic. It makes you wonder if they have anything beyond their one-dimensional schtick.

This movie is utter garbage and doesn't entertain on any level. If you laughed, you're probably already a fan of Troma. I can't imagine this appealing to anyone beyond fanboys.

Troma Should Just Call it Quits

[Scars_Remain · 1/10 · 1 April 2008]

This movie, if you can even call it that, is a complete waste of time and of film. Granted, I haven't seen a ton of Troma's films, this is easily the worst I've seen thus far. I have no idea why people are giving this movie so much praise. It was a very agonizing experience for me and it makes no sense why anyone would enjoy it.

Usually musicals are musicals because the songs fit nicely with the story. Was that the case Poultrygeist? Hell no, the producers just thought it would be funny to add songs! The acting is terrible as usual with Troma so no surprises there. The only thing surprising to me is how Troma has been producing films for years but they never seem to get any better at film-making. The gore was alright in this but definitely not enough to make it worth seeing.

Take it from me, don't see this movie. You'll be upset if you do because it's worthless and should be thrown away.

Great Film... by far Troma's best

[MrVonAwesome · 10/10 · 20 August 2007]

I had the chance to see this film at the B-Movie celebration in Franklin, Indiana. The film is well worth the wait. If you have a chance to see it on the big screen it is a must! It looked so amazing. The film itself is well written and the musical numbers are just beautiful. The ending will quickly replace Eli Roth's Hostel: Part II as the greatest ending in the history of cinema. I salute Lloyd, Gabe, Kiel and the rest of the Troma team for making the BEST film in Troma's amazing catalog of films. Again, if you get a chance to see this with an audience, DO IT! I drove 5 1/2 hours to see it in Franklin and will drive another 2 hours to see the actual premiere in Milwaukee, WI.

xoxo, Jeremy

What the hell??...

[emlouise · 2/10 · 24 August 2008]

Oh my god,I sat and watched this film even though my partner kept saying "seriously,turn it off,its crap" I kept telling him it would get better,its bound to get better,guess what,. it didn't!. What a totally pointless film this was,was it a horror?,a musical? a wanna-be low budget porn film?? I really don't know!! I do know one thing though (and it kills me to say this) my partner was right!! The ending did make me laugh a little,only 'cos it was so unrealistic so unbelievable and fake,I do like films that have too much gore and where things explode out of the body and give life to grotesque things,in this case killer mutant chickens,That is the only reason I'm giving this one a Two.

Sloppy Gore and a young Britney Spears look-alike who gets naked! Nerds unite!

[ElijahCSkuggs · 8/10 · 20 September 2008]

I'm admittedly not a huge fan of Troma flicks. I like a bunch of 'em, like the Toxie movies, Tromeo and Juliet, Cannibal the Musical, Sgt. Kabukiman, but I've never been cuckoo for cocoa puff for any of them. I was addicted to Shpadoinkle Day for a while, and I can easily see that song coming in and out of my life for a long time. Anyways, after hearing mostly good things about Poultrygeist I decided to give it a go. And just like many other Troma flicks, I'm glad I did.

Story revolves around a new fast-food chicken place being built in a community where they don't want one/or it's not needed....whatever. There was something to do with Native American land, I forget. Anywho, there's also a love-side-plot to keep you entertained and loads and loads of nasty, troma-style gore. I don't know how Troma does it, but they seriously make the messiest looking gore on the market. It doesn't look real, but damn is it disgusting. But anyways the story basically is a social commentary on the fast-food bizz, with a horror theme involving killer mutant chickens with song & dance numbers.

Poultrygeist overall was a fun flick, with tons of gore, lots of boobies, a chick that honestly looks like a very young Britney Spears from her "school girl" days, and the chick gets naked a lot. Gore and a young Britney Spears look-alike is reason enough to see this flick. But you also have to sit through too many, and way too long musical numbers. Sure the ideas are all silly and funny, but it just felt a tad too much.

If you're a fan of gore/nudity and Troma flicks, this should be a must see. And if you're just a bored geek with no one to hang out with or anything to do, then this would be a nice way to waste 100 minutes as well.

A C-level attempt at White Bread Trash

[radfordj · 1/10 · 27 April 2012]

Don't waste your time with this C-Level attempt at white bread trash. This movie plays on a ton of movie tropes that almost seem ironic and playful with the horror genre...but are funny only to 16 year old boys. If that's not you, don't watch this movie. If you are a 16 year old boy, don't watch this movie. It will actually make you less of a person. The acting is good given the writing, directing, and general concept behind the movie. The premise is good. The execution is good. It's polished. But, it's a movie that Matt Parker and Trey Stone wrote in middle school. Watch Cannibal: the Musical or save yourself for some other genuine, crappy movie like Hot Shots: Part Deux or Scary Movie. Don't waste your time with this C-Level attempt at white bread trash.
