Consensus: Poultrygeist may be relentlessly tasteless and juvenile, but it's also a lively slice of schlocky fun.
Synopsis: What if NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and FAST FOOD NATION were ground together in the bowels of a meat grinder? Find out in this awesomely disgusting--and disgustingly awesome--satire from director... [More]

Reviews for Poultrygeist - Night of the Chicken Dead
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.
10/18/08
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.
07/18/08
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.
07/17/08
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.
07/17/08
A heaping helping of political incorrectness gleefully spiced to offend just about every sentient being.
06/13/08
Top CriticLooks convincing enough to be icky and fake enough to be hilarious.
06/12/08
One of the most entertaining flicks I've seen all year...
05/25/08
It's genuine sick fun, and there isn't a boring moment in it.
05/23/08
Kaufman runs a vaguely clever premise right into the toilet, both literally and metaphorically.
05/09/08
A landmark achievement in the field of cursed-chicken-franchise horror musicals.
05/09/08
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.
05/09/08
Top CriticHorror fans might enjoy the overall trashiness (and one truly unsettling kill with a meat slicer); everyone else should skip it.
05/08/08
A jaw-dropping combination of silly, sexy and sadistic skits not to be missed!
05/07/08
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.
05/07/08
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.
05/06/08
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.
04/12/08
Fantastic fun for anyone that likes Troma.
03/23/08
Reviewing Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead is like critiquing a belch.
