Bock Bock! Ok folks, this moovie is egg-actly what you might expect from something called Attack of the Killer Chickens, in that , well, its a moovie where, ummm, some killer chickens…attack. And boy do these bad eggs attack! :=8O And naturally this provides the MooCow with plenty of opportunities to do some bad dad chicken jokes, which he will take full advantage of! Check out our Latest Podcast Episode on Indie Film Cafe, where you’ll find Moody, the MooCow, and special guest co-host Just Jenn challenge the pecking order and cluck about this wild, fun, feather-brained flick!
Let’s just post the IMDB summary of this film, shall we?
It’s the dawn of a new age…a chicken age. Humans have been the dominant species for far too long. The chickens have come to roost and they’re not clucking around. An invasion of catastrophic proportions has taken place and the weak humans of earth do everything they can to survive in this crazy chicken world. With Genoveva Rossi, Brendan Fletcher, David Naughton, Lloyd Kaufman, John Dugan, Artie Pasquale, Edward X. Young, John Link, and Rocco George.
Now TELL me that does not sound like a fun time?? And for the moost part, it is a fun time, very silly, very weird, but also a lot of yucks! Or is that yolks?? Yes, there are parts where the film lags and the comedy sort of lays an egg, but in its totality I have to say this was a rather cute film from Ms. Genoveva Rossi. This film began its life in the incubator as a short film in 2015, then jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire as a full-length feature film in 2022, albeit in a sparse hour and 3 minutes – which is kind of a good thing in that these chickens don’t come home to roost for too long before they wear out their welcome. The fact that this comes from Cluck Cluck Productions gives you an idea of where these folks are coming from with this moovie.
For those of you who do not know, Genoveva Rossi is an actress, director, producer and writer who has been in the indie film business for quite a awhile, involved with such moovies as Jack ‘O’ Slasher, Jesus, Daughter of God, Attack of the Brain People, Death House, Mr. Bones, Shakespeare Shitstorm, among udders, as well as a bunch of TV shows, including Tales from the Dark, The Walking Dead: Dead City, and Gravesend. She is also a model and writes for UKHorrorscene.com in A Life in Blood: Tales of a Horror Queen and Genoveva Rossi’s Screaming Corner in The Digital Dead UK on-line magazine – truly a Renaissance lady of moooltiple talents!
But there is an equally interesting backing cast as well. We all know David Naughton from American Werewolf in London and Hot Dog…the Movie, but there is also Uncle Lloyd Kaufman from Troma fame, Brendan Fletcher from The Revenant and Night Hunter, Artie Pasquale from the Sopranos and Sicilian Tale, Edward X. Young from Bite School and Mr. Hush, and good ol’ John Link from Ironbound Vampire, Play-Mate of the Apes, Invasion of the Reptoids, and Killer Clown Meets the Candy Man. That’s a whole hen house full of talent!
Well, the scores are in for this wackadoodle flick, and here’s cow the eggs hatch: both Moody and the MooCow were charmed by this moovie’s plucky wit, each awarding the moovie 6’s, while Just Jenn felt the moovie had egg on its face, awarding it an 8.5, giving Attack of the Killer Chickens a Total Stink Score of 22.5, that’s a Stinky Average of 7.5! Fairly stinky, but not exactly a rotten egg! on the Ladder of Stink this moovie ranks right up there with Crater Lake Monster, Cornman, and Won Ton Ton: the Dog That Saved Hollywood! That’s a tasty carton of eggs! ;=8)
We gots a trailer right HERE! Not sure about a streaming site yet, but you CAN pick up the DVD from Uncle Amazon!, as well as from the personal website of the band Jesse and the Hogg Brothers, who play moosic on the film, and french Ebay – sorry, Freedom Ebay. There is not mooch schwag that I know of, which is a real shame because this cow would proudly own a Killer Chicken coffee mug or tee shirt. There is a digital version of the kewl poster on Moviepostersdb.com. Cannibal Video on Youtube does a review, as does Crispycinema, and Now Its Dark, and you can find a fun video from the Northeast Film Festival where they interview several folks, yolks, and chickens from the movie! Grossmoviereviews also has a review on their website. And there is a Facebook page as well! Ooops, looks like it is available to stream on Prime too!
