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!

Tune in to Toronto’s movie podcast, moviesTO, in which Adam Lopez of the Toronto After Dark Film Festival calls Poultrygeist: “[Lloyd's] best film ever! If you’re a fan of Evil Dead: The Musical or Rocky Horror Picture Show, you will just love this hysterical zombie comedy!”

In their grand review of Poultrygeist, The Calgary Herald (Canada) screams out “Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead makes Poltergeist look like a night at the opera with Mr. Belvedere… Cult director Lloyd Kaufman may just have made the most crazily offensive and lowbrow film of his career with this one… Kaufman has also created a rather sharp, if demented, work of political and social satire.”

To complement their recent recent review of Poultrygeist (“Outrageous, insane, and borderline brilliant, Poultrygeist is one of the best things to come out of Troma! It’s a real celluloid find!”), PopMatters has a great interview with caustic Lloyd today…

The setup is pure B-grade horror movie schlock

PopMatters: “”Outrageous, insane, and borderline brilliant!” The Arizona Daily Star: “Gleefully vulgar, politically incorrect… A free-for-all romp! ***” A slew of reviews have come to our attention tonight!
