At last, zombie chickens get their revenge

Just when you thought horror movies had absolutely plumbed the depths of zombie apocalypse justifications, along comes Troma to — as usual — contribute an utterly implausible gorefest with a great soundtrack. This time it’s Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead; here’s the trailer, but don’t watch it during dinner, work or any activity where you need to think really hard. The title track is provided by Calamari Safari, and the soundtrack is rounded out with some pretty good underground bands, including Zombina and the Skeletones, the Dwarves, and the Peacocks. Sadly, they’re not screening it anywhere close to Baltimore, so I can’t see it for myself, but I can imagine it being like Shaun of the Dead minus the wit, and plus a few Colonel Sanders jokes.
