Bad Taste
90 min. Directed by Peter Jackson. Starring Terry Porry, Mike Minett, Pete O'Herne, Peter Jackson.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Wed., June 30, 1999
The first film by the perversely imaginative New Zealand director of Meet the Feebles and Heavenly Bodies has become a cult item. Reportedly, the title is an exercise in truth in advertising, which is described in Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide as a "gory comedy about callous alien fast-food entrepreneurs, here to harvest humanity." Jackson does it all in this movie: writes, directs, stars, produces, and designs the makeup.
