Directed by Lloyd Kaufman
For anyone who has ever felt genuine fear while pondering what's really in that oddly-shaped chicken nugget they're about to consume, director Lloyd Kaufman offers a simultaneously horrific and hilarious parody of the zombie genre that takes on the one thing scarier than the flesh-eating legions of the undead - America's love affair with fast food. Arbie (Jason Yachanin) is a nostalgic romantic with little luck in romance and a bad case of puppy love. When Arbie's high school sweetheart Wendy (Kate Graham) returns home after her first year of college, the lovelorn teen attempts to win the object of his affections back by taking her to the site of their first romantic encounter. Unfortunately for Arbie, the Ancient Tromahawk Tribe Indian Burial Grounds have been bulldozed to make way for an American Chicken Bunker restaurant, and Wendy has turned into a left-wing lesbian with a penchant for protesting. Subsequently beaten to a pulp by Wendy's rough and tumble girlfriend Micki (Allyson Sereboff) and in desperate need of a steady job, disgruntled Arbie applies at the Chicken Bunker despite the fact that Wendy and Micki have launched a tireless campaign against the restaurant. But something supernatural is stirring in this poultry paradise; the spirits of the dead are not pleased that their eternal slumber has been interrupted. As the employees of the American Chicken Bunker begin dying a series of increasingly gruesome deaths, restaurant owner General Roy Lee (Robin L. Watkins) does his best to cover up the scandal and keep his customers in the dark. Meanwhile, the restless demons of the Tromahawk tribe vow to take revenge on the fast-food loving masses by infecting every last piece of genetically modified poultry that is served at the Chicken Bunker. Perhaps if Arbie can prevent their curse from reaching beyond the drive-through window he can save the world from a fate worse than trans-fat and finally win back the girl of his dreams. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"Troma head-honcho Lloyd Kaufman is back at the top of his game with Poultrygeist. Yes, it's funny , over-the-top disgusting and has lots of gratuitous nudity like Troma movies are known for, but Kaufman actually made this film a musical. And the musical numbers ain't bad! Actually, they're downright catchy. Everything is, of course, pushed to the extremes. The graphic and frequent disembowelings and mutilations are too sick to be believed; politically-incorrect humor is in ab " [More]

"In retrospect, Poultrygeist probably wasn't the best film to be eating a large meal at. But I couldn't help it; Bear Tooth has such good food. I can't sit through a movie there without scarfing down a pizza, or their Pesto Treats, or their steak and cheese nachos. If there isn't a law against going to the Bear Tooth without eating, there should be. But still, had I " [More]
