liz_enator If you're into horror spoofs, this could be the movie for you. The acting does have an up side. It gets a little goofy at times, but it fits the nature of the movie. However, you'll have to put up with the disgusting parts (slime, bodily excretions from both ends of the digestive system, and blood), the sexually explicit stuff (which includes the stick of a mop taking the place of a certain guy part), and the possibility of being offended. They do take aim at quite a few groups, including homosexuals, Mexicans, Jews, Christians, and Muslims, just to name a few. Another goofy aspect of this movie are the song and dance numbers.

westsideschl The best part of the film is in the bonus features and is from a person who walked around with a camera documenting everyone involved in making the film as it was sort of being made. It showed the anger, frustration, cussing, ineptness behind the scenes. After seeing that, which I suggest viewers see before seeing the film, I can understand why the target audience is 10 to 14 year old males given that the adults actors were, for the most part, regressing to or never egressed from that period in life. Yes, we all know it's all a very low budget spoof of the sex/horror stuff that's been around for decades. But, whether it's high or low budget the "for money & status" task of simply redoing without creativity or imagination is just plain boring. Acting? Never was a consideration unless you count one or two, brought in for 10 seconds or so, cameo spots. Setting? An abandoned fast food restaurant. Props, costumes? Reused from previous movies for the most part. Rubber penis; Halloween store nasty trick stuff; fake internal organs; detached plastic/rubber legs, arms, heads. I wonder if the gallons of fake blood and green gooey stuff was previously used? The inverse ratio test of quality: Over 200 special thanks/citizen volunteers; 28 personal assistants; 26 songs. That's too much low quality filler. I wonder if Rome got to this point before it fell?

popcorninhell From the studio that brought you "Tromeo and Juliet," "The Toxic Avenger" and "Class of Nuke'Em High" comes this latest campy gross-out-fest that will send you on one crazy ride. Couple Arbie (Jason Yachanin) and Wendy (Kate Graham) enjoy their time together getting jiggy with it at the local Tromahawk Indian Burial Ground and are enjoying a final tryst before Wendy goes off to college. Wendy promises to stay true to the unambitious Arbie but as the very next cut shows, a few semesters in college has turned her into a protesting hippie liberal lesbian who marches against the opening of a fried chicken chain built over the same Indian burial ground. Out of spite, Arbie lands a job at the Chicken Bunker where strange things are occurring. Soon the whole restaurant is overrun by chicken zombies out for revenge. Oh and did I mention it's also a musical? In the tradition of Roger Corman, Lloyd Kaufman's latest is a bare-knuckle exploitation schlock-fest. With buckets of blood and low-tech special effects this film possesses a low budget spirit that only Kaufman can muster. The dialogue in this movie is very nail-on-the-head type stuff and the satire is far from subtle. With character names like Arbie, Wendy, Denny, Carl Jr. and Paco Bell, it's obvious what this movie is poking fun at. Fast food however isn't the only sacred cow getting skewered in this musical as each character also fulfills a cliché (socially or cinematically) as to poke fun at nearly everything under the sun. Rose Ghavami, who is covered in a burqa for most of the film, exaggerates her eye movements to the point of eye-popping silliness as an insulting Muslim stereotype. Caleb Emerson's Carl Jr. keeps things interesting when he's on screen as an unsanitary hillbilly and Robin Watkins effectively hams it up as Chicken Bunker's evil capital-minded proprietor General Lee Roy.For those of us with a sick sense of humor this movie is absolutely hilarious for its "so-bad-it's-good" quality. I love this film. It makes no pretensions on what it sets out to do and it really wears its heart in its sleeve. That being said, I cannot recommend this movie to ANYONE! not a soul. It's one of those movies I believe is geared towards me and me alone. Anyone interested in the single best movie involving explosive diarrhea won't be disappointed. Otherwise, go rent The Proposal or something.http://theyservepopcorninhell.blogspot.com/

Scarecrow-88 Director Lloyd Kaufman returns with another no-holds-barred gore-fest, completely tongue-in-cheek, with plenty of offensive jokes and gags to ridicule nearly every kind of religion and race. Wherever you stand, this film likely pokes fun at you. Parts musical(!)with characters bursting into song at certain points during the plot(..or what plot there is). A chicken restaurant is built on an ancient Indian burial ground, but this is used merely as an excuse to enact some of the most sickening acts of violence you could ever hope for, even seeing humans transforming into sadistic cannibalistic beaked birds. The film centers around nerd Arbie(Jason Yachanin)who is irate at his girlfriend's new position as both a lesbian and vegetarian, whose latest lay is an activist against that chicken restaurant on the burial ground. Arbie takes a job at the place in revenge, but agonizes over her leaving him for another, the choice being a woman even infuriates him more. Wendy doesn't know her lover's true motivations, which have a lot to do with the franchise their protesting. The chicken become "infected" by eggs carrying "evil spirits"(..more like a type of green goo, often seen in Troma films)and when customers eat the food they hideously deform into birds with an appetite for human flesh. We are privy to the siege on the restaurant, Arbie's fellow co-workers falling prey to the infection, and his attempts to protect Wendy as zombie chicken humans attempt to rip apart anyone human.As always, Kaufman finds every kind of way to shock and disgust, through grotesque gore-murders and parodying political and religious people in equal measure. I think his main target are both vegetarians and meat-eaters, many often killed in hideous methods imaginable. As you'd expect, the cast know what kind of movie they're in and perform in that fashion. Kate Graham goes all out as Arbie's love, Wendy, but, to me, Allyson Sereboff was frighteningly skinny as her lesbian lover Micki. Robin Watkins, as corrupt businessman General Lee Roy, grins wide and sends up the hick image with gusto, wearing white and deceiving his customers, knowing that his product has been corrupted by something poisonous and dangerous to humans. There's an orgy of violence and sex in one lengthy sequence where the customers who ate *polluted* chicken either turn into bird-zombies or those human casualties who are torn into for consumption. Kaufman has lots of grotesque mutations springing from the human bodies reaction to turning into birds. There were times where I thought I was gonna hurl. One victim sprouts "egg-breasts" hatching chicks! A person's face is pulled off. A broom is stabbed completely through a bird-zombie's crotch. A victim is pushed into a slicer with blood and flesh(..and a leg)spraying all over the restaurant kitchen. A victim's face is forced into a slicer. I could go on and on. Zombie fans craving flesh eating will be satisfied. In other words, if you are a gorehound, then this flick will give you plenty to cheer about. I could do without the musical numbers and many of the jokes and gags fall flat, but it often made me cringe, and I did find the overall film amusing. Jihad or Catholic Priest, gay or straight, black or white, everyone is skewered, Troma fans should be in heaven. Kaufman has a funny supporting part as Arbie in a few decades, reminding him that this is not the career one should strive for. To describe the film's tastelessness, an employee at the restaurant, screws a dead chicken, before it was to be prepared for cooking, with it possessed and growing into a monster on his crotch!
