poultrygeist_poster.jpgTroma Entertainment announced the east and west coast premiere of Lloyd Kaufman's Poultrygeist, Night of The Chicken Dead in New York at The Village East Theater on May 9th and in Los Angeles at The Laemmle Sunset 5 on June 13th.

Shot and screened on 35mm, the film blends the feather ruffling politics of Fast Food Nation, the satire of Shaun of The Dead and the show-stopping musical numbers of Spring Awakening to skewer the fast food industry, limousine liberals, and almost everyone else in American society.

While paying homage to true grind house horror, and combining Rogers and Hart caliber musical numbers, Poultrygeist has already been hailed by critics calling the film, "Without a doubt, the best film Troma's ever produced" (Jason Pollock, C.H.U.D) and "[Poutrygeist] Makes Borat look like The Sound of Music" (Kevin Williamson, The Calgary Sun). Variety exclaims, "a veritable Cluckwork Orange! It takes up where the punctured glutton in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life left off!!!"

Director, Kaufman, who has been credited with inventing the slapstick gore movie in 1982 with The Toxic Avenger, continues his visionary body of work with this fowl movement. "Poultrygeist continues Troma Entertainment's long history of cinematic political activism," says Kaufman, who is also the co-founder of Troma Entertainment along with his Yale buddy Michael Herz. "Big Media puts the Kool-Aid in the water and brainwashes the public to line up at fast food joints like obese, artery clogged zombies...except in our film it's chicken-Indian zombies. The American Indians were exterminated and so are billions of innocent chickens! The Zombie is a perfect metaphor."
