Find out in this awesomely disgusting--and disgustingly awesome--satire from director Lloyd Kaufman (THE TOXIC AVENGER). When a fast food chain builds a restaurant on an Indian burial ground, people begin to die in disgusting ways that would only happen in a Troma film. Meanwhile, a man named Arbie (Jason Yachanin) is trying to win back his ex-girlfriend Wendy (Kate Graham). But his new employment at the American Chicken Bunker restaurant, Wendy's new girlfriend Micki (Allyson Sereboff), and evil chicken spirits threaten to ruin his plans. [More]

Kaufman is one of the last great trash filmmakers.

Even though Troma's gore and T&A quotients may be high, the films remain a matter of the flesh being willing but the production values weak.

Kaufman manages to surprise with the extremes he takes his customary combination of low budget and high camp to in Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead.

Crosses big gross-out shock scenes with more in-the-know jokes about terrorists and nutrition, without ever realizing or acknowledging this chasm. I wish it had been a little smarter -- or dumber.

It's not pretty, and the humor is sometimes embarrassingly puerile, but for those with a passion for subversive trash, Troma Entertainment is still serving it on a bile-covered platter.

A heaping helping of political incorrectness gleefully spiced to offend just about every sentient being.

Looks convincing enough to be icky and fake enough to be hilarious.

It's genuine sick fun, and there isn't a boring moment in it.

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.
