Continuing my indie schtick, I’ve got a movie released by Troma. (Sorry about that shitty short Poultrygeist debacle.) But they merely released it and didn’t make it, so it’s of higher quality, creativity-wise.

After a typically horrible intro with Lloyd and some hotties, we finally get to the film.

So, have you ever heard of this flick?

No?

I’m not surprised. It was very under-ground.

So, here’s what you have: A small child has his teeth knocked out as he watches a “geek” do his thing.

For those of you who don’t know what a “geek” is, it’s a desperate person willing to bite the heads off of chickens, so he can get some alcohol.

It used to be a big attraction at the traveling circus-type thingies. You had the Fat Lady, the Strong Man and the guy that would bite the heads off of chickens.

I guess you got your kicks any way you could in the 30’s and 40’s.

Anyway, this scarred the child and he killed some folks when he got to his teens.

Oh, and he got metal dentures. Are those cheaper than regular dentures?

So, he’s up for parole and the person wanting him to be let back into society is a woman with terrible hair.

I guess women are just stupid, or something. Her whole basis for letting him out of jail is that he’s been a model prisoner.

Full disclosure: I’ve been to jail. Twice. And it don’t mean shit if you’re a good boy, or not. You’re in fucking jail. They don’t give you points for not raping another prisoner.

So, he gets out and goes to a supermarket and starts eating raw eggs. Then he rips the neck of an obviously young woman in old-age make-up for dropping the egg he offered her.

Now he has to run and escape the police, so he finds an unlocked car and hides in the back.

Naturally, the woman that owns the car lives out in the middle of fucking nowhere.

Did I mention that this guy only talks in chicken-talk? Cuz I think that’s important.

He ties the woman up, her daughter and boyfriend arrive and it all gets complicated.

Look, you’ve got a movie with a killer that clucks like a chicken and has metal teeth, like that guy from James Bond.

It sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? And it SHOULD be.

However, this is a very taught and intense film.

The characters, mostly, react in realistic ways.

Frankly, I was surprised.

But there are some negatives, in the beginning.

First of all, the people going to see the “geek show” are all carrying torches. Is that the best way to light your way? Didn’t they have lanterns, or something? I was amazed that they weren’t carrying pitchforks.

Then, the scenes of the officials deciding if Luther should be given a second chance are stale and the dialogue is stilted.

But once we get to the house where the major parts of the film occur, it gets fucking intense.

Luther is a creepy-ass fucker. And he likes to mess with people.

What is his motivation? I don’t know. He just likes ripping people’s necks out and clucking like a chicken.

The characters react in realistic ways and I, personally, find it more intense than Texas Chainsaw. So crucify me, if you like. But this movie really went beyond my expectations.

But all of this becomes pointless when we get to the end.

SPOILERS, FUCKERS!

Luther has killed the daughter, boyfriend and a cop and the mother is left with him, in the barn.

Luther is clucking about when….the mom starts clucking back.

Seriously. These two characters talk to each other in chicken-talk.

She seems to come on to him, as if she will mate with him and he begins crowing and feeling all proud.

IT IS FUCKING HILARIOUS.

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen something so ridiculous but so in tune with the rest of the movie, in my entire life.

So, it’s an intense film where characters make logical decisions (mostly) but there’s a guy running around clucking like a chicken.
