Bad Taste is a 1987 New Zealand science-fiction action comedy horror film directed, produced and filmed by Peter Jackson, who also starred in it and co-wrote the screenplay, along with Tony Hiles and Ken Hammon. Independently produced on a low budget, it is Jackson's first feature film. Jackson and friends take on most of the key roles, both on and off-screen. The plotline sees aliens invade the fictional New Zealand village of Kaihoro to harvest humans for their intergalactic fast food franchise, where they face off against a four-man paramilitary force.

It took four years to make and he got a noticeable bump in money near the end of production. That's why the aliens look like aliens at the end.

There is another big time gap in filming during a car chase scene. The car gains and losses a louver during the chase and the driver has put on a lot of muscle by the end.

I think the scene where he uses the chainsaw to enter the building is one of my favorites in any movie.

The film holds a 73% approval rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 22 reviews with an average rating of 6.50/10. The site's consensus reads: "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."

Yeah, this is on par with the first Evil Dead movie. Gross effects and everything else is ... low budget. Maybe some of you like this?

If it’s on par with Dead Alive, I’m gonna love this movie

In my top 3 most gore movies of all time.

It is a fun one too. On that top 3 Peter Jackson actually made two if them :-).
