Bad Taste - Horror

Bad Taste, the hack n slash, gross em out, trashy cult classic from New Zealands Peter Jackson. The film centers around human eating butt headed aliens and the attempts of the New Zealand National Air and Space Defense League to foil the aliens plans to turn us earthlings into fast food. What makes the movie so great is its trashiness, it's gore and it's over the top approach. It took like 4 years of weekends to shoot with pretty much no bugget to work with, all they had to go on was their dedication to the project and I think what is presented is pure gold.

I haven't seen Bad Taste in awhile but I used to watch it a lot as a kid, mainly for the reason that it was shot largely around where I grew up, it felt special to see my hang outs in a movie.

The alien ship is actually gear homestead, I used to skip school sometimes and hang out there eating passion fruit that grew around the house, along with more rebelious behavior. I used to walk along those cliffs a lot as well, pretty much every scene in the movie I've been to.

Just another movie I've gotta watch again, though I know I won't be disappointed in it like I was with rewatching The Unholy, Bad Taste really doesn't exist to impress it's here for an experience.
