"The impact of Troma can be seen in nearly every independent filmmaker who cut his teeth in the video era, from Peter Jackson and Quentin Tarantino to South Park's Trey Parker (who's debut, Cannibal! The Musical was a Troma production), and the Troma universe has a devoted worldwide fan base to rival that of any comic book." -The A.V. Club (The Onion)
TROMA ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES
NEW YORK CITY PREMIERE OF POULTRYGEIST
Classic Independent Film Company To Hatch Feature Film At The Village East Theater on May 9th And Give The Fast-Food Industry The Bird
New York, NY: Troma Entertainment, the oldest, continually operating, truly independent movie studio in the world, announced today the New York City premiere of Lloyd Kaufman's Poultrygeist, Night of The Chicken Dead at The Village East Theater on May 9th. The Village East Theater is located at 189 2nd Ave in New York City. Tickets can be obtained at MovieTickets.com. For the online purchase of movie tickets. Plus movie showtimes, movie reviews and more
Shot and screened on 35mm, the film blends the feather ruffling politics of Fast Food Nation, the satire of Shaun of The Dead and the show-stopping musical numbers of Spring Awakening to skewer the fast food industry, limousine liberals, and almost everyone else in American society. More information can be found at Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead.
While paying homage to true grind house horror and combining Rogers and
Hart caliber musical numbers, criticshave already hailed Poultrygeist as, "a masterpiece!" (Ain't It Cool News) "Without a doubt, the best film Troma's ever produced" (Jason Pollock, C.H.U.D). Variety exclaims, "it's a veritable Cluckwork Orange! It takes up where the punctured glutton in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life left off!!!" Director, Kaufman, who has been credited with inventing the "slapstick gore" movie in 1985 with The Toxic Avenger, continues his visionary body of work with this "fowl movement"
"Poultrygeist continues Troma Entertainment's long history of cinematic political activism," says Kaufman, who is also the co-founder of Troma Entertainment along with Yale buddy Michael Herz. "Big Media puts the Kool-Aid in the water and brainwashes the public to line up at fast food joints like obese, artery clogged zombies...except in our film it's chicken-Indian zombies. The American Indians were exterminated and so are billions of innocent chickens! The Zombie is a perfect metaphor."
Kaufman also fights his political battles as Chairman of The Independent Film and Television Alliance (IFTA) Independent Film & Television Alliance.
