Cluck You!

Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead  is so bad, it's fantastic.

"Sorry, we are closed."

The amateur acting, brain-dead plot, eccentric sexual-oriented gore and ethnically offensive stereotypes are chemically infused into one weird movie.

Arbie, the movie's awkward, geeky protagonist, returns to find the indian burial ground that he and his only sweetheart "occupied" a year earlier was paved over to make room for the corporate fast-food chain, American Chicken Bunker. He discovers a giant mob of protesters outside the restaurant. Unfortunately, Arbie also discovers his old girlfriend, Wendy, and she's become a college-level lesbian hellbent on politically destroying the fast-food chain through protest. Heartbroken, Arbie takes a job at the American Chicken Bunker, thinking he can financially persuade and eventually support the girl of his dreams. The spirits of the disturbed graveyard soon possess their way into the chicken formula, its customers and raise hell for the small fast-food community.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

Fans of extreme gore, blood, simulated bowel movements, sodomy and other weird things may rejoice for Poultrygeist. Like the entire movie, the violence is over-the-top. Limbs and heads are easily torn off by the chicken-zombies and fountains and fountains of blood spurt from wounds like diarrhea from a hippo with a stomach ache. And the reason I bring up diarrhea is because this film has a particular scene that I find extremely hilarious. I think if it's difficult to like this type of humour, then this movie is definitely not for you (watch at own risk, boyos):

Since that scene shall be forever ingrained within the neurons of your brain, let's continue. As with any horror/shocker movies, the humour is very slapstick. However, some of Poultrygeist's laughs stems from its extremely liberal use of stereotypes. From the homosexual Mexican to the religious terrorist and to white racist, this B-movie is a chicken-stuffed turkey of stereotypes. Actually, the jokes are extremely racist. But because the audience is expected to lean away from the conservative thought-process, especially with this type of movie, Poultrygeist is easily forgivable and is freakin' hilarious.

Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead accomplishes what B-movies strive for. If you're looking for a no-nonsense, bloody stump of a comedy, then look no further. Not to mention, it's accessible for through your local Netflix provider!

Poultrygeist gets a solid 4/5!
