This movie feels like it’s stalling for the first two acts. Makes you think the story is going nowhere and feels like there’s nothing really going on, but the third act is where this movie shines, and where it gets these three starts that I’m giving it. Out of nowhere, the senseless shootouts, random radio conversations, shots of cars driving and people running, stop to make place for the incredible alien designs and, well, what comes with it.
Honestly it’s frustrating that this film was able to deliver so much on its final act but so little during the rest of it. But the wait is rewarded, and the movie becomes one of the most hilarious and weird things you’ll ever witness.

Yes, it's amateur at times. Yes, it's campy. And yes, it's gross. But Peter Jackson struts his stuff even from his first film. He immediately shows his immense talent and, by watching his masterful trilogy of gross-out gonzo horror, makes me long for Peter to make a return to form where his reckless abandon worked under his tight direction and visceral visual style.

This film to me screams out 2 things. First is a very well made home movie, and Second is a bunch of guy friends hang outing, being friends and beings guys. It has a lot more charm you would expect from a ridiculously low budget film. It's a great motivation for inspiring young filmmakers. It also plays the gore and comedy amazingly well. Jackson making his own props from mostly common house-hold materials is the type of creativity and imagination I remember having well I was a kid. Seeing this film and the making of titled "Good Taste made Bad Taste" make me want to make a story and script, grab my friends, make own him props (and if possible, have my friends help out with it). go out to my giant childhood park (won't say what is it), and go out and film. Also the song "Bad Taste" by The Remnants is stuck in my head, It's WAY too good.

This is a total gross out film where more disgusting is better. It is a black comedy that is as funny as it is ridiculous. The acting is very over-the-top which matches the insane gross special effects. The film is low-budget and old which may put some people off. Hopefully you can see past this as it is highly recommended if you can stomach the brain-dripping gore exhibited to you in Bad Taste.

When you think about cheap, cheesy but oh-so-entertaining B-movies that have made an impact in the industry, you can't not talk about Bad Taste. Peter Jackson is rightfully regarded as a powerhouse in the film business because of The Lord Of The Rings &, to a lesser extent, The Hobbit, and its great to see where he got his start, which was, like many great filmmakers, a bit closer to home. It's a delightfully silly idea, featuring a group of New Zealanders who find their country being invaded by an alien race that, for reasons of comedy and, I suspect, the budget, usually look like humans in identical clothing. It's understandably messy, unpolished and riddled with continuity errors, but the premise is simple enough to follow and the action and dialogue amusing enough to make you want to get to the end of it. It's a testament to the concept that producing a film requires little more than a camera, a bunch of mates and a fun idea, and while the results might not be to everyone's taste, pun very much intended, what's important is that Jackson believed in it enough to see it through, and he hasn't looked back since. So thank you Bad Taste, you're so horrible, yet so enjoyable.
