Troma is one of the few production companies that tend to truly stay away from the mainstream media. Anything popular and trendy at the moment will not find its way into a Troma flick. This has garnered the small company a huge fan base of dedicated horror buffs and movie geeks alike. Their movies are often made on shoestring budgets which only adds to the campiness and fun. Troma has used that same campy formula in all their movies which is something of a trademark of theirs now. They have a lot of films that do suck but for the most part Troma films are very entertaining. This movie kinda sneaked under my radar before I was able to see it a few years ago. I was spending most of my time watching the films that put Troma on the map like The Toxic Avenger and the Class of Nuke Em High series and never seen this ones release till it was too late.
Like most musicals, this one follows the formula of a young boy and girl who fall in love with each other and like other musicals the girl leaves for college and begin dating other girls while boycotting fast food chains. Well maybe this one is not like other musicals because it has lesbians. The main character, Arbie, after having his heart ripped out by the carpet munching hippie Wendy, gets a job at a new chicken restaurant American Chicken Bunker. On opening day a crowd gathers to protest the new fast food chain and it just so happens his ex girlfriend is among the crowd. It also just happens to be built on an Indian burial ground. So everything for a great cheesy horror musical is laid out before you. While preparing the food for the grand opening, the manager, Denny, finds a box of green, pulsating, eggs and orders the cooks to prepare them with the breakfast foods. Anyone that consumes the now tainted cock meat turns into a zombie chicken demon. Yep, a zombie chicken demon. Due to it being opening day the owner of the restaurant shows up for the media coverage and offers the protestors a free sample of the chicken. One of the lesbian protestors, who is dating Wendy, then takes the owner up on his offer and takes the free sample. She then tells the crowd how amazing it is and how crazy he is for giving it away. Now the crowd all tries the tainted chicken and proceed to go into the restaurant to purchase more. The lesbian and owner then go into his office where it is revealed that she is actually the girlfriend of the owner and held the boycott as a way to drive in traffic. Now that everyone has consumed the chicken they begin a clucking rampage leaving Wendy and Arbie to fight for survival.
This movie is one of the most entertaining films I have ever seen...if you have a sense of humor like I do. The movie itself is a satire on fast food chains in American but that kinda falls through with the actual movie. The acting is actually kind of descent for a Troma flick and so is the special effects. The movie is extremely bloody and graphic but it is done in a funny way adding to that campy fun that fans of Troma love. With it being a Troma flick there is a lot of random scenes of nudity that honestly doesn't do anything for the storyline, but at the same time it is funny as hell. How some of the people reacted to eating the tainted cock meat was funny as well. Some people just foamed at the mouth while others shit giant eggs that hatched giant chicken demons. Any fan of horror movies or looking for a good laugh need to definitely check this one out. The dvd and bluray are both pretty cheap on amazon.com and you can also stream this on Netflix as well.
