10 Horror Musicals You Need To See
3. Poultrygeist: Night Of The Chicken Dead
Your typical boy-meets-girl, girl-becomes-lesbian, both-battle-monsters-spawned-by-big-business satirical zombie musical, Poultrygeist may be the most tasteless movie on this list but it’s also one of the funniest.
By building an American Chicken Bunker on sacred Indian burial ground, big business has united displaced Native Americans and chickens sent to the “Concentration coup”, which can only mean one thing – the restaurant is about to be attacked by chicken zombies who like their meat red, raw and bleeding.
As they attack the diner, breast implants are ripped out, testicles are fried and eaten and an Oirish priest attempts to defeat them by brandishing a Mel Gibson DVD (“The power of the Christ compels you!”) And we haven’t even mentioned the chicken-sodomising redneck, a Muslim named Humus or Slow Fast Food Love, a music number with topless dancers.
If the satire wasn’t so barbed, you could dismiss this "fowl movement" as juvenile and silly, accuse it of covering up its flaws by mocking its own cheapness and say its brand of slapstick is no different from the bigger-budgeted Piranha 3DD. Which is true, but how can you not like a film that clucks so much ass?
