A rollercoaster comedy of blood, intestines, and sight gags. It's all here. Chainsaw meatery, bird poop on the face, stupid shoes, a flying saucer house, spurting blood, eyeball popouts, handfulls of brains, pieces of flesh, putrid eats, lots of ammo, stupid fight scenes, and the Beatles...what more can you want? A must see festival of yuck fun for sure.

I liked the movie it was funny, bloody and gory. It obviousley for those of you who dont know is a film shot over 4 years on weekends and when ever the guys had free time. It has a cool plot and is worth the money if you can watch low budget movies with silly but ok acting then you will be satisfied. The scene where they drink the vomit, to the part when they kick the head like a soccer ball out the window etc.... its funny cool and worth the money, but I advise rent b4 you buy some how. people many have mixed opinioons but if you are a fan oif cult horror and just disgusting stuff you will like it. Also loook for the 2 other peter jackson movies that I also highley reccomend one is " Dead alive " and my 1 favorite " Meet the Feebles". Jackson also made a movie called" heavenly creatures" which is suppose to be a very good movie also.

The Movie: One of the funniest I have ever seen. This movie is like Friday the 13th Part 6, buth with aliens instead of Jason and a different plot and lower budget.

The Video. Quite Good, considering the $11k budget.
The Audio: Anchor Bay went overboard. DTS 6.1 ES? What the?
The Extras: A bit slight. A Featurette, A Mini-Bio and a Trailer.
The Packaging:Creative, Sturdy, and Innovative. The disc holder is very creative (buy it, you'll know what I mean.)

Overall: More like a 4.7/5, which translates to: 94%, or an A!

I've had close friends advise me not to repeat this; but it would not be far off to call this movie my all time favorite!

WARNING: Use with caution! People with a sense of humor may experience one or all of the following symptoms when viewing this material: Convulsions, a temporary inability to breathe, and involuntary rolling on the floor! If you experience ANY of these symptoms, _PLEASE_ immediately press the PAUSE button! 'Cause the laughs come fast and furious at times, and you don't want to miss a thing!

If you have an irreverent sense of humor, don't mind gratuitous splatter, or don't have your head screwed on quite right, you CAN'T miss with this movie.

This movie knows its audience, and has no pride. If you are offended easily or have a suggestible stomach, just keep moving. There's nothing here to see.

I spent a good bit of my misspent youth in hysterics watching this movie over and over again with my friends. And the great thing is that you see something new almost EVERY time! We discovered this movie quite by chance, and had little expectations for it, other than to kill an hour or so. It so exceeded our expectations that it began a tradition that continues to this day, "Bad Movie Night", where we scour the low-budget movie bins and take home something that screams "DOG"!

You can't imagine our outrage when someone stole the only copy from our local video store, and since it wasn't available for purchase in the U.S., we were unable to get our near weekly "Bad Taste" fix for many many years. Dark days, my friend. Dark days.

(This review is a variation of one that I've given several times over the years, and though I grant amazon.com permission to reproduce as many times and in as many forms as they wish, I do not relinquish ownership.)

Peter Jackson's directorial debut, "Bad Taste," is a hilariously good time involving a whole lot of blood, guts, brains, the chugging of vomit and tons of laughs. Done in the true slapstick-horror fashion, this is a disgusting and pleasantly demented flick that refuses to take itself seriously. It's over-the-top in every way, and that's what makes it so fun to watch. It's not recommended for people with weak stomachs, but people looking for carnage and laughs will feel right at home with this.

It doesn't have the most scientific or complex plot, but why should it? It involves aliens from another planet that are disguised as humans--acting more like zombies, but they move a lot faster and are handy with automatic weapons. The aliens are here for one thing only... hamburger meat--made from humans! They have already completely massacred an entire town and plan to do the same to the rest of the world! Now, it's up to a couple of goofball assassins to save humanity and take these extra-terrestrial psychos head on... God help us all!

This was everything I was hoping it would be. It's completely over-the-top, ridiculous and a real gross-out event. What more could you want? This isn't a movie where you're looking for brilliant acting or directing. You just want to enjoy yourself. The movie is purposely goofy, as it is never afraid to make fun of itself in many ways. The best way I can describe this is it's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" meets "The Evil Dead." It's not scary, but since it is slapstick-horror it doesn't really need to be. Considering how low of a budget Jackson and company had, it has some pretty cool and disgusting special effects. I could never make something like this, that much is for sure.

As I said in the beginning, it's not recommended for people with weak stomachs. Sure, it was made on a low budget, but the special effects are still disgusting enough to make you feel sick if you're not up for it. You also have to not take this seriously. If you try to take it seriously, then you will loathe every second. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the chaotic freak show. The limited DVD edition offers a really neat changing-cover. The picture and sound is as good as it can get (the sound is the real prize, allowing you to hear all the squishy-squishy joy of blood and brains splattering all over the place!). Special features include the theatrical trailer and a making-of documentary.

"Bad Taste" is for anyone who has a sick and twisted sense of humor, and who is in the mood for something extremely goofy. I think Peter Jackson should revisit the genera again in the near future, as he really shines in it with this movie. I'm sure he has a lot of fun with it, too. Again, not recommended for the weak, but if you're looking for all the blood and guts you can handle while laughing at the same time, it's all right here. A great gem that is bound to entertain you over and over again. -Michael Crane
