[edit] Plot
The plot of the film involves a fast-food restaurant being attacked by chicken zombies. The plot's conceit, which is a parody of the Poltergeist film series, is that the restaurant is built on an ancient Indian burial ground, and the Indian spirits have merged with the dead chickens to create chicken zombies. In what director Kaufman claims is a "fromage" (Kaufman's pun on the term "homage") to the film The Happiness of the Katakuris directed by Takashi Miike, the film has a series of musical numbers. Principal photography for the film took place during the summer of 2005.
[edit] Release
A U.S. theatrical release is planned for February 2007, with worldwide engagements to follow.
