“Makes Borat look like The Sound of Music… very guilty and gross pleasures!”
\nKEVIN WILLIAMSON, THE CALGARY SUN (CANADA) <\/p>\n

Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead is cinema\u2019s first chicken-zombie horror-comedy\u2026 with musical numbers!<\/p>\n

When well-meaning but somewhat dim Arbie (Jason Yachanin) returns to the spot of his first (and only) romantic encounter with his high school sweetheart\u2013 the not-so-romantic Ancient Tromahawk Tribe Indian Burial Ground\u2013 he is shocked to discover two horrible realities:<\/p>\n

Not only has the graveyard been bulldozed to make room for the newest fast-food \u201cAmerican Chicken Bunker\u201d chain restaurant, but after only one semester at college, his girlfriend Wendy (Kate Graham) has been transformed into a left-wing, lipstick-lesbian liberal, and spends her free time protesting the corporate takeover of America.<\/p>\n

Reeling from heartbreak and a brutal beating from Micki (Allyson Sereboff), Wendy\u2019s new activist girlfriend, Arbie channels his spite into applying for a job at the very restaurant they are protesting against.<\/p>\n

But something else is feeling wronged by all of the construction and commotion\u2026 Something not human\u2026<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, newly employed Arbie\u2019s new coworkers are a colorful group: the sassy manager Denny (Joshua Olatunde); the burqa-clad Muslim, Humus (Rose Ghavami); the animal-loving yokel Carl, Jr. (Caleb Emerson); the effete Mexican spitfire Paco Bell (Khalid Rivera); and a mysterious 60-year-old man who has been working in fast-food all his life (Lloyd Kaufman).<\/p>\n

Together, they slowly uncover the supernatural secret of the American Chicken Bunker, while the owner General Lee Roy (Robin L. Watkins) tries to keep a lid on everything, lest the scandal taint his growing empire. But once workers and customers start dying in bizarre and grotesque ways, it becomes clear that this isn\u2019t just a mild case of salmonella \u2026 but something much more FOWL.<\/p>\n

Will Arbie and his friends stop the supernatural before they infect all the artificial food stuffs, the customers or even the world? Will Arbie be able to win Wendy back now that he\u2019s making minimum-wage? What\u2019s Carl Jr. doing with that frozen chicken? And what\u2019s with all the singing and dancing?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead!<\/p>\n
