Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

This movie is pretty much tongue in cheek sci fi.
Jack in the golden arches from outer space wants to Kentucky fry
humans. The aliens seem unstoppable after butchering a small
New Zealand town. To the rescue is an odd team of young commandos.
The rest is a shoot out between the heroes and the invaders.
As bad as the dialog and special effects are
the comedy touches kind of make up for it.
I just don't much like horror movies...

You might as well go ahead and forget the fact it's low budget, because it's mighty impressive that a movie like this was made on a shoe-string budget (the masks were baked in Peter Jackson's mother's oven!). Peter Jackson's first film is a gory comedy action movie (In my opinion, this isn't a horror movie or a horror comedy) about aliens that take over a town to harvest them for their fast food franchise.

Bad Taste really isn't TOO gory (nowhere as gory as Dead Alive) as it has more action and tense parts that lead to action, with some humor. Even though there isn't that much gore, there's no shortage of inspiration, or at least some memorable parts. The beginning of the movie where the alien gets his top part of his head shot off is great and looks gross (the way it's supposed to be! Yum.), and seeing the machine gun being fired off is awesome too. I won't really spoil it all for you, but the gore parts will most likely keep you entertained, though don't come just for that.

The story may be a bit bare bones and cheesy, but that's the way I like it! And the actions scenes on it are pretty funny and there are rocket launchers being fired and plenty of machine guns. It's a good watch, though it isn't really, for me, worth having on DVD (hence the three stars). Still worth a watch and entertaining.
