Bad Taste

Bad Taste is a 1987 science fiction comedy horror film produced, edited, photographed, written, directed and starring Peter Jackson, who also made all special effects on the film. Produced on a low budget, it is Jackson's first feature film. The film stars Jackson and his friends taking a number of 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, of which at least one member appears to have gone insane. It was a film that provided Jackson with the necessary leverage needed to advance in the industry.

Since its release, the film has become a cult film.
