“Poultrygeist” is like “South Park”, “Clerks II”, “Dawn of the Dead” and “Gremlins” all rolled into one. It’s an absurd picture that blends the comedy, horror and musical genres to create one of the most violent, vulgar and irreverent films ever made. It’s from Troma, a company that has been perfecting the absurd, gory and disgusting formula for decades with an array of films including “The Toxic Avenger”.

In “Poultrygeist”, Arbie (Jason Yachanin) decides to get a job at Tromaville’s new fast-food restaurant, which happens to be built on an old Native American burial ground, in order to get back at his ex-girlfriend for leaving him for a woman and becoming a liberal activist. It is not long before the customers start to horribly mutate into chicken zombie monsters.

Arbie makes Homer Simpson look like Albert Einstein. He’s a pretty entertaining character for this type of movie. Arbie’s colleagues include a homosexual Mexican, a redneck that likes to rape dead chickens and a burqa-wearing Muslim by the name of Humus (not to be confused with the terrorist group Hamas). Various characters go through gory and disgusting transformations as they become undead chicken monsters. The practical effects are cheesy yet undeniably impressive.

This film will likely offend many members of the general public from across the political spectrum but especially vegetarians, Muslims and homosexuals. The violence and nudity are of course done extreme and many of the gags are as crude as you will ever see or hear. My personal favourite moments are Denny the branch manager’s recounting of an experience like it’s a war story and Arbie’s speech about America. Several sequences are so vulgar that I dare not even explain them here. If you are willing to succumb to the deranged and juvenile parts of your brain then you might enjoy “Poultrygeist”. What else is there to say?
