SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

benjaminclements-79468 Poultrygeist Night of the Chicken dead is one of the most strangest films ever. It has a lot of things going for it. Directed by Lloyd Kaufman you no it will be weird. Personally I enjoy Troma films. Yes most of them are bad but they all have a charm I believe. Poultrygeist is the best example of a Troma film, it's satirical and weird with all the things that have become common with Troma. The story is very odd and so are the characters which are my favorite part of this film. The disappointing parts are the musical numbers. Some of them just fall flat which is disappointing as I really hoped that they would be good. Although the story is very odd that doesn't necessarily mean good. It is all over the place and quite stupid at times. Some of the practical effects were good and some weren't. I did really enjoy the acting of this film. The jokes were hit and miss as some were just plain toilet humor but some were very funny. In the end Poultrygeist Night of the Chicken dead was an odd film with some hit and miss elements.

npettinato14 Troma has become self-aware in its flagrant appeal to the "so bad its good" crowd. That concept can be hilariously funny, but only when played straight. Movies like "Troll 2" are entertaining because the director had a serious horror flick in mind, but lacked the budget or (more often) talent to execute his vision."Poultrygeist" pretends to be a schlocky, Z-grade flick, but it actually comes full circle and remains awful. The jokes are intended to be low-brow and the effects are an intentional nudge to low-budget horror. This is a bit like the woman from the "Where's the beef?" commercials of the 1980s. It was initially funny, but once the gag has been played over-and-over, ad nauseum, it becomes pathetic. It makes you wonder if they have anything beyond their one-dimensional schtick.This movie is utter garbage and doesn't entertain on any level. If you laughed, you're probably already a fan of Troma. I can't imagine this appealing to anyone beyond fanboys.

liz_enator If you're into horror spoofs, this could be the movie for you. The acting does have an up side. It gets a little goofy at times, but it fits the nature of the movie. However, you'll have to put up with the disgusting parts (slime, bodily excretions from both ends of the digestive system, and blood), the sexually explicit stuff (which includes the stick of a mop taking the place of a certain guy part), and the possibility of being offended. They do take aim at quite a few groups, including homosexuals, Mexicans, Jews, Christians, and Muslims, just to name a few. Another goofy aspect of this movie are the song and dance numbers.

Argemaluco It is impossible to describe the movies from the studio Troma Films to the people who have never experienced the sensory aggression provoked by the combination of amateur enthusiasm, technical ineptitude and grotesque humor offered by films like Terror Firmer, Tromeo & Juliet, Class of Nuke'em High and the saga of The Toxic Avenger (composed by four films so far).This legendary studio has made of its filmography an ode to the bad taste, political in-correction and nudeness.In other words, there are not any taboos for Troma Films, and even though its director (corporative and film) Lloyd Kaufman is not tired of classifying his movies as "art" (ironically, I hope so), it is obvious that his main intention is making us laugh, showing us scenes of a very bad taste and maybe making us to think a little bit in between.Or maybe Kaufman takes his art too seriously, and he is the blindest director to his own incompetence.But I am sure it is not like that.Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead is the 10th "Tromatic" film from Kaufman, and I have to admit this is the most ambitious and polished film from the studio.By "ambitious", I wanna say it has more special effects, more extras and more nudeness.Anyway, like most of the Troma films, I found Poultrygesit to be a fascinating experience, although I am perfectly conscient it is not a movie for everyone.What I mostly appreciated in this film is that it uses its story to bring a genuine message about North American obsession with fast food.I truly appreciated to see that there was a real purpose behind the stylistic and visual excesses.And when I mean "excesses", I am talking about things that even director and screenwriter John Waters would consider as bad taste.For example, there is a scene showing a fat man defecating...shown from the lavatory's point of view.I liked Poultrygeist very much, and I found it to be an excellent example of authentic independent cinema.However, I perfectly understand why some people may hate this movie and consider it as a precursor of the Apocalypse, and that is what makes it difficult to recommend.In summary, this is definitely not a film for everyone.
