Pure thrash is a rather rare animal, it is filmed by special people with special abilities, such punks from cinema. So it was in “The Best Movie 1” with Kharlamov, although in our time a bunch of snobs and hamsters flooded it with mud. They said so, and all of them were on the sidelines and on the sidelines. As a result, a situation arises when the viewer sincerely laughs while watching, but realizing that he has committed a thought crime, dramatically changes the testimony.
This film is the best creation of Troma and a masterpiece of thrashing.
The plot is very simple. The ancient Indians, between hunting for bison, were engaged in opening the gates of Yog-Sotota (suppose) and invoking demonic organics from the Outer Realms. They were fun guys, in a word. And then the greedy fast food corporation mastered their land, so that the local Vlad Saveliev mastered their low-calorie menu (lettuce neutralizes everything, yes) and rushed. Weight loss challenges have never been more exciting, the demonic path on the way, the possessed and cultists will be planted.
And it's also a musical and the ending is really Lovecraftian.
The film will go not only to everyone, few people will be able to appreciate it without boiling. Do not let children, pregnant women and patients of PHD, I warned you. And if you like it, then do not tell your friends and relatives about it, let them continue to consider you a normal person.

My cinematic tastes are very extensive and therefore I prefer all types of cinema and genres, including thrash and independent low-budget genre films. And first of all, with this kind of cinema, I associate Lloyd Kaufman and the studio Troma Entertainment (one of the founders of which is Lloyd Kaufman).
First, let’s look at Kaufman’s films. Lloyd doesn’t just want to entertain his audience, he wants to shock them, and he wants to make them want to keep watching his movies, rather than turn them off immediately after the first shocking scene. Therefore, in his films, violence, sexual scenes and vulgar humor are raised to such a maximum that it is impossible to exceed it. Let me give you a few examples: completely naked women? It's over! Incredibly bloody death, preferably with dismemberment and display of internal organs? Where else? So much toilet humor that vomit mixes with feces? I will! And most importantly, this madness should be fun!! The viewer should not only be shocked, but also get a certain pleasure and fun from what is happening on the screen. This is the essence of art in the understanding of the master of independent low-budget genre cinema Lloyd Kaufman.
But why did I like “Chicken Zombie Attack”? Why didn’t I like Alexei Herman’s “It’s Hard to Be a God”? Isn't that where feces come from? What’s more, there’s more of that than all of Kaufman’s movies? For one simple reason. Kaufman's films are not without meaning!!! Despite the madness, his films have a plot, and the meaning he lays is able to understand absolutely any person, while he does not need to be some “special connoisseur”. What can you say about "It's hard to be a god."
So what is the meaning of Kaufman in the film, where the main characters are trying to kill zombie chickens, which already sounds like absolute nonsense? First of all, he ridicules various kinds of clichés that are characteristic not only of zombie films, but of the entire horror genre in principle. Of course, I will not list all of them, but I will give one of the brightest and most memorable examples. In one scene, the main characters meet a woman who is looking for her child. The main characters offer to separate, and the woman to inspect the pantry. Moreover, the main character emphasizes that there are monsters in the pantry and she will die. She thought it was a great plan and went there. Naturally, in a second she dies. There is so much humor in the film. Therefore, the fact that the ridicule here is presented in an exaggerated form, makes me understand that the film is a kind of parody of horror films, only in the shell of a thrash film.
Also, in addition to parody, there is a certain social subtext in the film. Kaufman in a vicious manner, with all cruelty ridicules the consumer society, fast food (and in the fast food restaurant, where the film takes place, features of the real fast food KFC are clearly visible), the ostentatious nature of social movements (in the film it requires that the restaurant be demolished, since it is located in an Indian cemetery, but there are no Native Americans in the movement), and so on. At the same time, “Attack of Chicken Zombies” is not the first Kaufman film filled with semantic content. Thus, the viewer has a reason to watch his work not only for the sake of violence and vulgar humor.
And the most pleasant surprise. This film is also a musical. Yeah, you read it right. But since the director shot the musical scenes like any other scene of his film in the same manner, they will not make you miss them (although the songs themselves are a complete nightmare).
Finally, I would like to recommend this film. Especially impressionable viewers will certainly not like the film, but if you like crazy thrash, then do not pass by this masterpiece from the world of independent low-budget genre cinema.
The chicken has declared jihad to us all!
By the way, you need to go change the tampon.
(Roughly 44 minutes of the film)
Attack of chicken zombies
Lloyd understands what quality thrash is. The plot is beyond delirium. He took chicken, whipped a crazy heresy with the resurrection of this chicken, added an Indian cemetery (of course, where without it). The result is an unrealistically cool movie.
One of the funniest Troms movies. One of the most vomiting films of Troms. One of the most stylish films of Troms. One of the most cinematic films "Troms". A movie that's only for your own. Don't like Troma, get off the bus, don't get in the way. If you live in the city of Tromaville (like me), then we ask for your blessings. Buy fried chicken, pour something to drink and turn the movie on loud. This is our movie, guys. Lloyd - forever!
You want proof that this is our movie, it's easy. Huge monster dick? Present. A legendary flying machine? Present. Ron Jeremy? Present. Michael Hertz, who isn't really Michael Hertz? Present. Yes, my dear ones. I watch a movie called Attack of Chicken Zombies, and I see all the previous Lloyd and Hertz movies. I keep silent about posters on the walls, keep silent about music, keep silent about dancing. It's such a celebration. Thank you, Lloyd, you're really crazy, I love you.
How can you not love this sweet movie, I don’t know, everyone would shoot like that? Torn heads and limbs, torn intestines, mutilated bodies, sexual perversions, racism, satire, social and a whole bunch of stuff. At some point, you start laughing at your throat and you only want one thing so that all this nonsense does not end. Look at the secondary characters, or rather the crowd (yes, the cult crowd from Troma is also present, chic). They all go crazy, laugh and go crazy again. Traditions must be respected!
Lloyd himself appears in the film with a machine gun. He yells and swears - Die the stinking chicken zombies! He's wearing pants and a funny skirt. Spielberg can do that? Fincher can do that? I love you, I love you, you sick old man. He didn’t even (which, as always, e-my...) have money for this film, as he did it at all. How much drive is there (despite my age), I am amazed.
The moment that killed (although there are a lot of such moments, but this one I wanted to highlight separately). 23rd minute of the movie. Guys, remember this minute. Look at their pussy. Okay, Jachanin, but Olatunde is such capital. They really are crazy (there should be a swear word, but you will understand without me when you look). Yachanin's yelling - Danny-and-and-and-and-and--and! Olatunde comes in like this - what happened there? And at that moment, he understands. I tell you again, look at their puppies. That's all. Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
The brilliant movie was directed by Lloyd. With this film, he said, It's too early to discount me. Do you like your directors? I'm Lloyd Kaufman from Troma Studios. And if you're not with us, the chicken zombies are coming for you. You need to have a huge device between your legs to make such a movie.

In this movie, every sentence must be written down. Nolan, learn...
“Attack of Chicken Zombies” is, in my opinion, one of the most interesting paintings of Troma. A rather unscrupulous satire on American society, on those who make this satire, on everyone... and everything. Positive characters can not be called positive, negative can not be called negative, the ending causes an attack of Kinoman happiness. I have. The film is a real thrash and he likes it, it’s also an author’s movie ... a musical, a zombie movie, a parody ... maybe something else. The film is smart, full of meaning. Consuming is bad, of course. But there’s something else in the film. Puffed up with green blood and hmm... waste products. Therefore, it is difficult to look, and I want to admire. Submitted, like other films by Lloyd Kaufman - crazy.
In general, the film blurs all the boundaries between bad taste and good, thrash and serious cinema, talentless and talented. Why? Because in one scene we see how one of the characters is fed by a zombie with a beak of some entrails, in the other - a toilet drenched in blood and again ... waste products. But all this is presented somehow sincerely and from the heart. That didn’t make me want to turn off the movie, although I still have to look for a more specific movie. As a musical, the film is also interesting. The songs are ironic and funny, a kind of stuffing in the direction of an American consumer, an American protester ... I think I wrote this already. It bribes the sincerity of the creators. They love movies and make them according to their own laws.
I would hardly advise anyone. But at the same time, I really appreciate the attack.

Stop the brain!
I left for six months, and when I came back, I found out that my girlfriend was now a radical communist lesbian.
Complete rejection of analysis is the main requirement for viewing this tooth-cracking, insane, psychotic, delusional, talentless, brilliant, paradoxical, funny, vulgar, cynical and genius tape.
Do not even try to think about what is happening on the screen, look for double bottoms and allusions. This is just a film that, because of its schizophrenia, entered the history of cinema.
Good actors play bad actors. A maniac masturbates looking at a couple; zombie chickens chomp people and fold their bodies on fast-food trays; a talking Mexican gay sandwich gives valuable advice. You don’t have to think about it, you just have to look at it mindlessly without turning your nose. Yes, and watch in the original, because the actors also sing. Even the main zombie chicken will please you with a separate room.
I warn you at once that in addition to the disconnected brains, you will also need fortitude and courage, because not every normal person will withstand such a charge of vulgarity. But I think an aesthetic snob wouldn't even look at this masterpiece of thrash, so the rest of us can digest it. In addition to frank scenes, cynical banter over sex minorities, mass murder, terrorism, big business, fast food, illegal immigrants, foreign culture should be prepared for the vomiting urge from all that is happening.
Great social nonsense about everything. Funny. Sharp. Brain-bearing. Despite the crazy script, the film can be stretched for quotes.
In principle, "Attack of chicken zombies" can be recorded in the history of cinema as a masterpiece of thrash comedies and the height of non-political correctness. In his genre, he is the best, but this does not make him a masterpiece of world cinema. To avoid misunderstanding:
"Mom, what is this?" "A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A!"
For more than 30 years, the company "Troma" pleases us with its funny films. Probably the most famous is "Toxic Avenger" (1985). I've even seen videos of this movie. Many years have passed since then and Troma has kept his level. Their new films are as crazy and fun as they were 30 years ago.
So, we have before us the film Lloyd Kaufman (the main uncle in Troma) "Attack of chicken zombies". The name itself already portends something fun, and believe me, it is. This movie is so crazy that not everyone will watch it. I started watching it twice. I turned it off for the first time in the 20th minute because the movie was so crazy that I couldn’t watch it. Four months later, I became interested in other Troma products and began to read more about the film. It turns out that he even went to the movies (poor people), and his rating for this kind of films is painfully high. So I decided to watch the movie again, and I succeeded.
According to the plot of the film, a chicken diner is built on the site of an ancient Indian cemetery. Many people, of course, are against rallies. And the main character is a nerd Erbie, who found out that his girlfriend Wendy is a lesbian, and decided to get a job at this diner to prove to her that he is a normal guy. “What nonsense,” you might say, but yes, this movie is quite illogical. But he's funny. By the way, it is also a musical, so I recommend you watch all the musical numbers with subtitles and the original audio track. The whole film is well stuffed with the most laundry jokes (once even directly "sorter"), but this is a disguise. As Lloyd Kaufan himself said, he hates all kinds of fast food restaurants, so he decided to make a satire film, that is, make fun of these eateries.
At the site of the cemetery begins the rebellion of the dead. Since there is a chicken café in the cemetery, the dead will be chickens. They begin to take revenge on all visitors and employees of the chicken dot. The revenge scene, which lasts about five minutes, is quite cruel, it features the tearing of limbs, eyes, skin peeling from the face, cutting off legs, as well as the more amusing - ripping silicone implants from one girl's chest and pulling eggs from the unfortunate guy. Then there is complete madness – one guy will grow chicken eggs on his chest, where monster chickens hatch, and the mother chicken feeds them worms from her mouth. And then the chickens switched places with people, which is the main feature of the film. Chickens begin to cook people, or rather parts of them, and sell to chicken-buyers who are in line and want to taste human legs or ribs. Suddenly, a mad grandfather with a machine gun appears (by the way, Lloyd Kaufman himself) and a large urine begins. By the way, the ending of the film is also very funny (where about the chicken egg).
In my opinion, the film is not for everyone. You will say that in such rubbish of vulgar and shitty (literally) jokes there is no sense. Anyone who sees a deep idea in this movie is an idiot. Maybe it is. In my opinion, this movie is just fun. Yes, there's a lot of cruelty and sorting, but the idea of swapping chickens and people is fun. Not everyone will be able to see it until then. I liked the movie. Among all these "non-serious" films, I would give him 10. But the film among all world cinema - only 7.
