Peter Jackson's early low-budget shocker boasts a disgusting premise - aliens harvesting humans for fast food - that gives the budding auteur plenty of room for gross-out visuals and absurd cleverness.

A climatic rebirth-by-chainsaw scene almost makes it all worthwhile, though you may have had to visit the bathroom once or twice in the wait. Jan 26, 2006 | Full Review…

Divertido em seu humor descompromissado, este trash faz rir, mas não oferece o menor indício do virtuoso cineasta que Jackson se tornaria. Nov 6, 2005 | Rating: 3/5

I miss Peter Jackson in his ultra low-budget horror mode. He always looked like he was having fun. Not half as good as Dead Alive, but still a hoot. Oct 20, 2005 | Rating: 3/5

The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson's debut is rather aptly named. Its crudity has more to do with Sam Raimi than Tolkein, but there's a wonderfully sophomoric enthusiasm that keeps it interesting. Nov 3, 2002 | Rating: 3/5

[Bad Taste will] probably work best when watched with an enthusiastic group, and a copious amount of alcohol on standby. Sep 25, 2002 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Paucity of budget, however, cannot hide boundless creativity, true filmmaking style or gobs and gobs of in-your-face homemade gore and grue. Jul 30, 2002 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
