ThiefHott Too much of everything
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
radfordj Don't waste your time with this C-Level attempt at white bread trash. This movie plays on a ton of movie tropes that almost seem ironic and playful with the horror genre...but are funny only to 16 year old boys. If that's not you, don't watch this movie. If you are a 16 year old boy, don't watch this movie. It will actually make you less of a person. The acting is good given the writing, directing, and general concept behind the movie. The premise is good. The execution is good. It's polished. But, it's a movie that Matt Parker and Trey Stone wrote in middle school. Watch Cannibal: the Musical or save yourself for some other genuine, crappy movie like Hot Shots: Part Deux or Scary Movie. Don't waste your time with this C-Level attempt at white bread trash.
trashgang Troma. What can I say. You love or you hate them. I don't hate them, I have seen some watchable movies but this one was surely not my cup of tea. I have no problem with comedy in horror but this is a bit too childish. It's all about farts and other jokes. They even put some songs in it, a musical they call it. Sorry, it was a turn off for me. Oh yeah, a lot of tits and a lot of gore but it didn't bother me. Troma surely isn't made for me but I can understand that people love it. For comedy/horror I would rather recommend Lesbian Vampire Killers or Doghouse. No really, it was okay to see the guy being turned inside out in the beginning, but the constantly sound of farts, to much for me that is.
CrimsonKingLives I'm a huge fan of Troma films, especially the Toxic Avenger flicks, although I haven't seen a lot lot of Troma movies (Tromeo and Juliet's one of my faves also) This movie is freaking hilarious! It's very low budget, but watching the movie, it doesn't look like it. The acting, for a Troma film, is great, the effects are good, and just the production values look good.The whole film is satire, and you'd have to have a really good, open sense of humor to enjoy it. Those who hate it obviously didn't "get" it, thinking it took itself too seriously, or maybe they just think Juno is the only funny movie out there.It's insanely gory and over-the-top with some pretty disgusting moments (durrrr) and just plain fun and hilarious. Also, the musical numbers are pretty sweet!! ANY Troma fan should see this and love it, and even if you've never seen a Troma film, THIS is where you should start! Poultrygeist is an 8/10 !!
Scarecrow-88 Director Lloyd Kaufman returns with another no-holds-barred gore-fest, completely tongue-in-cheek, with plenty of offensive jokes and gags to ridicule nearly every kind of religion and race. Wherever you stand, this film likely pokes fun at you. Parts musical(!)with characters bursting into song at certain points during the plot(..or what plot there is). A chicken restaurant is built on an ancient Indian burial ground, but this is used merely as an excuse to enact some of the most sickening acts of violence you could ever hope for, even seeing humans transforming into sadistic cannibalistic beaked birds. The film centers around nerd Arbie(Jason Yachanin)who is irate at his girlfriend's new position as both a lesbian and vegetarian, whose latest lay is an activist against that chicken restaurant on the burial ground. Arbie takes a job at the place in revenge, but agonizes over her leaving him for another, the choice being a woman even infuriates him more. Wendy doesn't know her lover's true motivations, which have a lot to do with the franchise their protesting. The chicken become "infected" by eggs carrying "evil spirits"(..more like a type of green goo, often seen in Troma films)and when customers eat the food they hideously deform into birds with an appetite for human flesh. We are privy to the siege on the restaurant, Arbie's fellow co-workers falling prey to the infection, and his attempts to protect Wendy as zombie chicken humans attempt to rip apart anyone human.As always, Kaufman finds every kind of way to shock and disgust, through grotesque gore-murders and parodying political and religious people in equal measure. I think his main target are both vegetarians and meat-eaters, many often killed in hideous methods imaginable. As you'd expect, the cast know what kind of movie they're in and perform in that fashion. Kate Graham goes all out as Arbie's love, Wendy, but, to me, Allyson Sereboff was frighteningly skinny as her lesbian lover Micki. Robin Watkins, as corrupt businessman General Lee Roy, grins wide and sends up the hick image with gusto, wearing white and deceiving his customers, knowing that his product has been corrupted by something poisonous and dangerous to humans. There's an orgy of violence and sex in one lengthy sequence where the customers who ate *polluted* chicken either turn into bird-zombies or those human casualties who are torn into for consumption. Kaufman has lots of grotesque mutations springing from the human bodies reaction to turning into birds. There were times where I thought I was gonna hurl. One victim sprouts "egg-breasts" hatching chicks! A person's face is pulled off. A broom is stabbed completely through a bird-zombie's crotch. A victim is pushed into a slicer with blood and flesh(..and a leg)spraying all over the restaurant kitchen. A victim's face is forced into a slicer. I could go on and on. Zombie fans craving flesh eating will be satisfied. In other words, if you are a gorehound, then this flick will give you plenty to cheer about. I could do without the musical numbers and many of the jokes and gags fall flat, but it often made me cringe, and I did find the overall film amusing. Jihad or Catholic Priest, gay or straight, black or white, everyone is skewered, Troma fans should be in heaven. Kaufman has a funny supporting part as Arbie in a few decades, reminding him that this is not the career one should strive for. To describe the film's tastelessness, an employee at the restaurant, screws a dead chicken, before it was to be prepared for cooking, with it possessed and growing into a monster on his crotch!
