Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead
When the American Chicken Bunker, a military themed fast food restaurant, builds its latest chain restaurant on the site of an ancient Native American burial ground, the displaced spirits take revenge on unsuspecting diners and transform them into chicken zombies! Now, it’s up to a dimwitted counter boy, his collegiate lesbian ex-girlfriend and a burqa-wearing fry cook to put an end to the foul feathered menace once and for all.
Why it matters
A gleefully grotesque mashup of fast food satire and zombie splatter that unapologetically revels in its own absurdity.
- Troma’s signature blend of outrageous gore and off-color humor serves up a feast of over-the-top practical effects and shameless camp.
- Ideal for fans of cult midnight movies who appreciate anarchic DIY spirit over polish.
- Satirizes consumer culture and military-industrial absurdity through a lens of sloppy, gleeful chaos.
- Not for the faint of heart—or taste—but a riotous celebration of genre trash with a punk rock ethos.
