Oh, Bloody Disgusting, how we love you. And how we missed your review of Poultrygeist, I’ll never know! But here at Tromaville, every so often, something manages to slip through the cracks.
Review from Joris Westerdaal
Bad acting, cheap special effects, offensive humour, bad singing, dysfunctional nudity, zombie-chickens and Lloyd Kaufman wearing […]

In their roundup of 12 Must-See Films of 2008, Salon.com selects Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead!
“Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead” If you’ve ever seen any of Troma Pictures founder and president Lloyd Kaufman’s movies (the “Toxic Avenger” series, “Class of Nuke ‘Em High,” etc.), you know they’re reckless, pointedly amateurish, filled with in-jokes, […]

Well… the “Top 10 Films of 2007 That You Never Heard Of”, that is. Hooray for PopMatters!
#3 - Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead
Sadly, the Troma trademark has been turned into a tag for all that is dumb, dopey, schlocky, and stupid. Frankly, nothing could be further from the truth, perfect proof arriving […]

Check out this great video of Lloyd introducing Poultrygeist’s Austin premiere this weekend (to a sold out audience, of course!), and then his Q&A afterwards, posted by a surreptitious fan. He answers questions about the making of Poultrygeist, The Toxic Avenger Part V, Ron Jeremy, and dirty dirty microphones.

Thanks, TexasGeek.tv!!!

Don’t miss these two interviews with Uncle Lloyd, one appearing in Austinist at http://austinist.com/2007/12/07/_austinist_inte.php, and the other on the legendary Ain’t It Cool News (where advance reviews of Poultrygeist screamed that it’s “a masterpiece… It’s like FAST FOOD NATION meets SHAUN OF THE DEAD!!!”) at http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35001

In anticipation of this weekend’s openings of Poultrygeist — in both Houston and Austin!!! — the Houston Press raved “Move over Morgan Spurlock, Eric Schlosser and China, Lloyd Kaufman has the best reason to avoid fast food!!!… Poultry-geist has a cornucopia of gore, cheesy lines, sexy ladies and off-the-cuff musical numbers!!!”, and then The Daily Texan praised Poultrygeist as “pure creativity and fun at breakneck speeds, covered in soda-fountain blood and UltraSlime… fatal fast food, licentious lesbians, American Indians, hypocrites of all stripes being taken to the blade - or beak - of hilarity as vengeance comes feathered in absurdity.”

Whoa, there cowboy! Hold on just a second! Looks like Lloyd Kaufman is going to be spreading his fowl love across the state, opening Poultrygeist in both Austin and Houston this weekend!!!
Get your tickets early to guarantee yourself a seat at what Variety is calling “A veritable Cluckwork Orange! It takes up where […]

“The results are in: Poultrygeist is a winner… Hilarious musical numbers!… Sick, over-the-top kill scenes… It’s goofy. It’s sick. It’s funny as hell… I applaud Kaufman and the folks at Troma for delivering a fun, nasty, funny sing-a-long that I can sink my teeth into.”

Don’t miss the newest issue of Rue Morgue, Issue 73, which calls Poultrygeist “a tasty, greasy, genetically modified and factory-farmed treat! An unqualified return to form!”

Oh, and it also mentions that “the film actually boasts more blood, vomit, explosive diarrhea, decapitations, eviscerations and completely gratuitous toplessness than any Troma film in recent memory.”

And did we squeeze in the quote that it’s also “a hilariously foul-mouthed mash-up of Hair, Rocky Horror and more”? No? Well, there you go.

(Most important, of course, perhaps more important than the rest of the three-page photo-filled feature, was the line that “Andy Deemer and Kiel Walker did a great job producing the film.” The film, which they do call “vastly superior” to other Troma works. Oh, the unbridled fame.)

Coming soon to a theater near you? We hope so! Call the theaters and urge them to book Poultrygeist!!!
