Don't eat chicken. (because as the chicken herself says 'I don't want to be a pie... I don't like gravy') Seriously, though, the provocative allegory of a chicken farm as a concentration camp is impressively daring. |

It's doubtful that its criticism of hunting is intentional, but this movie's monster is a sportsman whose sole motivation for preying on weaker beings is for the trophies.
