In lieu of an actual post either about Thailand or anything relevant while I am working on travel videos, I will be posting a few of my reviews from netflix.
Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead
*****
Poultrygeist is a fantastic, over the top, gross-out horror comedy. It has a lot to say about American consumer culture, fast food, modern liberalism, animal rights, but it never forgets that it is a TROMA film. There were times I didn't simply laugh out loud, or gasp at the disgusting images on the screen, but involuntarily groaned in multiple places. The gore and filth are so wonderful and funny and unrealistic. Pure Troma. The songs are clever, if not sung particularly well, and Jason Yachanin, who plays Arby the Hero, seems to be having a lot of fun. It's not PC, and it's definitely not family friendly, but if you like a good gross-out comedy, queue this one.
You should check out the making of documentary (Netflix lists it as Extras Disc One) -- that really tells a wild story! Like a low-budget Hearts of Darkness....
