– G4’s Attack of the Show

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 […]
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 […]
“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!!!
“Probably the funniest thing I’ll see on film this year!” the review cries out. MovieForum then urges you all to “beg, plead, and threaten your local movie houses into booking it—more than ever it seems, the future of anarchic, truly independent cinema depends on your voice…”
Help us to get Poultrygeist shown worldwide!!! Call your local movie theaters today!
Yep, the great Twitch (”spreading the news on strange little films around the world”) reviewed Poultrygeist today, and they had this to say:
“Kaufman’s film is an exercise in human filth, social impertinence, cultural intolerance, gore, nudity doused in profuse volumes of bodily fluid. But, Poultrygeist is also a celebration of American independent cinema. It is […]
After a decade of ignoring Troma, it’s nice that Fangoria has finally found cause to start embracing the company again. That’s right: they’re still cheering about Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead!!! In today’s write-up of Toronto After Dark, they select Poultrygeist as one of the films worth covering, and hail it as: “Vintage Lloyd Kaufman!… An alternately hilarious and stomach-churning exercise in really bad taste that makes SOUTH PARK look like classic Ingmar Bergman by comparison.”

In advance of this weekend’s Toronto screenings, Canadian weekly NOW Magazine screams:
“It’s been 22 years since schlockmeister extraordinaire Lloyd Kaufman staked his claim to the cult cinema crown with The Toxic Avenger. Now he’s back with what he says is his final movie as director, Poultrygeist: Night Of The Chicken Dead… and he’s going out on a disgusting, disturbing and wholly degenerate high note…. Easily the grossest movie at this year’s TAD. “
Penny Blood, the notorious Horror & Cult Movie mag, celebrates Poultrygeist in a full-cover five-page spread on Troma and Troma’s favorite chicken zombies this month! Rush out now and pick up a copy. Tell ‘em Lloyd sent you!
