Kaufman runs a vaguely clever premise right into the toilet, both literally and metaphorically.
A landmark achievement in the field of cursed-chicken-franchise horror musicals.
Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead is just about as perfect as a film predicated on the joys of projectile vomiting and explosive diarrhea can be.
Horror fans might enjoy the overall trashiness (and one truly unsettling kill with a meat slicer); everyone else should skip it.
A jaw-dropping combination of silly, sexy and sadistic skits not to be missed!
Open[s] with the best trying-to-unfasten-a-bra and zombie-finger-as-buttplug gags in movie history, which are closely followed by the most tasteless fisting scene since William Freidkin's Cruising.
Quite possibly the world's first horror-musical-sex-comedy, the strangely impressive originality of Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead doesn't come even close to compensating for its everything-plus-the-kitchen-sink midnight-movie awfulness.
This zany, high-kickin', forever clucking, fecal-matter-spattered fun fest is Troma at its best. This is a Sweeney Todd for low-lifes. A must-see for vegans.
Reviewing Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead is like critiquing a belch.
Kaufman spews a biting satire of the fast-food industry and the evils of saturated fat and marketing saturation.
(Poultrygeist is) bloodier, ballsier, and bluerer than anything the company has ever done...the kind of crackpot genre gem that gets its kicks out of wallowing in feces,...exploiting same sexiness, and undermining standard cinematic expectations.
Every variation on "disgusting" you can think of -- and many you can't -- is here. It's a veritable "Cluckwork Orange," but without the sentimentality.
When it comes to Lloyd Kaufman.. you either fanatically love what he does or you think the world could do without his low-brow brand of horror comedy.
Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead is loudly and proudly bad.
