"Bad Taste"
1987
Directed by Peter Jackson

From Peter Jackson, creator of the black horror comedy Dead-Alive, this 1988 curiosity balanced gore with psychological horror. An impossible film to summarize, the imaginative plot concerns a group of renegade aliens who land in a New Zealand outpost to cannibalize humans for their food supplies. The aliens are detected and engage in a prolonged battle with a band of government assassins. "The quirky, fragmented direction matches subject matter and acting" (Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide). With Jackson, Pete O'Herne, Mike Minett, Terry Porter and Craig Smith.  90 minutes.
