Critics Consensus

Poultrygeist may be relentlessly tasteless and juvenile, but it's also a lively slice of schlocky fun.

2.5/5

Even though Troma's gore and T&A quotients may be high, the films remain a matter of the flesh being willing but the production values weak.

3/5

A heaping helping of political incorrectness gleefully spiced to offend just about every sentient being.

It's genuine sick fun, and there isn't a boring moment in it.

Like an extra-value meal, Poultrygeist offers plenty of what Troma fans want...

3.5/5

Kaufman manages to surprise with the extremes he takes his customary combination of low budget and high camp to in Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead.

Fast food, funny songs, and boobs. What more could you really want in the world of Toma films? I've seen this movie at least ten times and found it fun every time. If you want a kickn' movie to watch with the guys this is that movie.

I was ready for it to be over with after 45 minutes despite there still being an hour to go. I kept watching because.... it's anti-propaganda, however, it is exploitive and gratuitous whether it thinks it is or not and it is disgusting as it is set in a fast food restaurant with a lot of juvenile bathroom humor. The last half hour is pretty twisted. 2 1/2 of 5

Lloyd Kaufman has gone full-on insane in this drunk love letter to 80s straight to VHS cinema. Gross, wrong and borderline stupid, but fun as hell, even if about 20 minutes too long.

Just as tasteless, schlocky, and borderline pornographic as you could hope for from Lloyd. Anarchic parody of the American dream wrapped in feces.

It had some okay humor but it ended up becoming redundant at some point, and the "musical" element added in was pretty terrible. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time with this one unless you are interested in racist jokes or poorly produced gore scenes.

This was one of the worst films I've ever seen in my life.
