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

Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead
Overview
When the American Chicken Bunker, a military-themed fast-food restaurant, builds its latest chain restaurant on the site of an ancient Native American burial ground, the displaced spirits take revenge on unsuspecting diners and transform them into chicken zombies! Now, it’s up to a dimwitted counter boy, his collegiate lesbian ex-girlfriend, and a burqa-wearing fry cook to put an end to the foul-feathered menace once and for all.

It's genuine sick fun, and there isn't a boring moment in it.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
A landmark achievement in the field of cursed-chicken-franchise horror musicals.
Kyle Smith, New York Post

Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead is just about as perfect as a film predicated on the joys of projectile vomiting and explosive diarrhea can be.
Nathan Lee, New York Times
Rotten
Horror fans might enjoy the overall trashiness (and one truly unsettling kill with a meat slicer); everyone else should skip it.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
