Summary: Gory and Funny!
Review: Aliens with potato heads try to slaughter humans and sell them as a fast food delicattesse for an outerspace food chain. Of course there's someone who is trying to stop those bastards. "The Boys", Frank, Ozzy, Barry and Derek work for an organization who call themselves "Astro Investigation and Defense Service". So much to the plot. Bad Taste is one of Peter Jackson's funniest movies. It contains a lot of gore and dark humor. This is the ultimate partyfilm. Watch it with your friends. This movie is almost as good as Braindead aka "Dead Alive", which is the goriest movie I have ever seen.

Summary: Splattering fun!
Review: Very few movies leave me with such a weird feeling. First time you watch BAD TASTE you'll wonder what could possibly happen in the next scene. Jackson spent 4 years making a truly wacky zombie flick. It's all played for laughs. However, if you're squeamish about realistic violence then avoid. If dark humor is not your cup of tea then the mid-digit on the box cover should give you all the deterent you need. Keep out of the reach of children and anybody with the nickname "Psycho". But for the rest of us twisted souls BAD TASTE is a hilarious splattering good time! Keep it on your shelf beside DAWN OF THE DEAD.Ordinarily BAD TASTE should get 5 stars on the splatter movie scale. I was disappointed in the quality of the VHS transfer. So 3 stars for this reason. Is the DVD any better?

Summary: Excellent (and disgusting) precursor to "Dead Alive"
Review: This first film by Peter Jackson is funny and disgusting in its depiction of cartoony gore. The special effects are cheap but creative and effective. Like "Meet The Feebles" there is something to offend everyone in this film, such as the name of the team sent to deal with the alien threat, and like "Dead Alive" there are tons of horror movie references, all which lends to the humor of the film. The New Zealand accents are a bit strong, but you get used to it. Amazing that this guy went from gore to "Lord Of The Rings". Go figure.

Summary: Took my breath away!
Review: Peter Jackson, genius. Bad Taste is the first "taste" of the four Jackson horror movies. And I must say it is still my favorite. Don't get me wrong, Dead Alive(BrainDead), Meet the Feebles, and The Frightners are all great films, but Bad Taste just has the more rugged feel to it. I think I look at it that way because I make mini movies myself, and look up to Jackson greatly. He shot Bad Taste on a 16mm video camera, and finished it over a span of four years. All the actors are friends of Jackson and helped the entire way. I love the way this movie leaves you feeling after you watch it.... Smiling, Laughing, and Almost Puking. If you're looking for some great "Splatstick horror", this is a great choice, especially if you are just getting into Jackson's work. You won't be dissapointed one bit. A little more trivia.... Not only did Peter Jackson play the hillarious Derek (which has a little cameo in Dead Alive) he also played the retarted Head Alien's sidekick, Robert. Also, the Head Alien, is Jackson's Father... One more thing, the end credit song, Bad Taste In My Mouth, is writen and performed by "The Boys", Frank and Ozzy.

Summary: Extremely entertaining stuff from New Zealand
Review: This movie may not be as famous as Jackson's masterpieces, "Braindead" (aka "Dead Alive") and "The Frighteners", but it's also well worth watching for everybody who loves at least one of these two examples of "splat-stick" horror. The story is as weird as you might imagine - about some quite unconventional freaks from Alien Investigation Defence Service (note the pun?) who fight off aliens that have discovered human race as the new source for junk food. Writer/director/producer/director of photography/editor/etc. Peter Jackson also stars in the role of nerdy agent Derek, who falls down a cliff, is assumed dead by his buddies and dispatches the alien plague on his own, wielding a monstrous chainsaw and other amiable stuff. Unfortunately, the fall has left a hole in his back head whence from time to time he loses some of his brain matter... I have first seen "Bad Taste" in cinema (followed by "Braindead") and boy, it was - great. Hadn't been laughing like that for long. The title is well chosen for this movie - the end becomes extremely visceral! Well - if you have enjoyed "Braindead", you will LOVE "Bad Taste"!

Summary: A splatter classic
Review: Not for the faint at heart, this is one of the best Horror-Comedies I've ever seen. Although it's not quite up there with Braindead or Evil dead 2, this definately holds it's own as a milestone in the genre. The comedy is cheeky, and suprisingly British (very deadpan at times) but is all played out with a sense of fun from the actors which destracts u from the violence. The gore is suprisingly well done with a lot of the special effects done by Peter Jackson himself (he also plays two of the main characters)----this man as a lot to live up to with the Lord of the Rings Trilogy!

Review: Bad taste is a movie that will make many people sick, just in watching the first 20minutes. But for cult fans who love campy gore and sensless violence to an extremelevel Bad taste is the choice for you. Peter Jackson breaks all violence Boundries In this movie as Hordes of aliens come to planet earth to use helpless citizens of New Zealand as fast food. this movie is definatly a morbid laugh fest that will keep you gagging until the final explosive suprise ending. Horror movie fans will Know jacksons work from Dead alive and Meet the feebles. If you like total cheese along the lines of TROMA movies then Bad taste is a must own.
