Lloyd Kaufman's Troma films are notorious for their over the top sex, graphic violence, and juvenile comedy. Kaufman spares no expense with this film, one he had to draw into his own personal savings to fund the production. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead is a horror comedy musical about a geeky virgin named Arbie who works at a fast-food restaurant on an ancient burial ground. The chickens begin coming back from the dead, and it's up to Arbie to save the customers and Wendy, the love of his life, from the coming chicken apocalypse.
The violence, sex, and fart jokes are non-stop in this film, and they work like perfect portions of the classic American pie recipe. You smell the aroma as it's cooking, and once you take the first bite you know you've got something delicious on your hands. This film is not for the faint of heart, and if you dislike masturbation, lesbians, explosive diarrhea, beheading, fisting or any combination of any of these at the same time, then you may want to skip this movie. For those of you who can stomach the film, enjoy it. Kaufman designs these films to have over the top gross out violence, and it's meant to be read as comedy. Did I mention this film was a musical? The songs are hilarious and surprisingly well-written. They form the meat of the film; the binding between all of scat and blood that holds the film together.
Find some friends who you know would enjoy a nice night of low-brow graphic comedy, and you will have an enjoyable evening.
