Bad Taste (1987)

October Challenge Day 8

This film has been on my To Watch list for YEARS. Why it's taken me so long to see it (especially since I love Peter Jackson's other hilarious gore show, Dead Alive), I have no idea. But finally the day came. Finally I made time for Bad Taste.


As you can tell by the poster image, this movie doesn't care what you think.

Here we have a bunch of aliens that landed in New Zealand to harvest humans for their fast food chain. Sit back, crack open the beers, and let the hilarity begin!

There's something about this film that feels like a day drinking idea that was spontaneously made with your best buds after an already raucous evening. Then things went sideways. Something you'll laugh about later of course, but sideways all the same.

This is a ridiculous, witty, gross film with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Particular laugh-out-loud humor, however. Sure, there's a lot of just laughable gross moments, but the banter is quick and takes no prisoners so keep up! The gore also takes no prisoners - prepare to cringe while (periodically) uncomfortably giggling.

Silly, smart, and absolutely disgusting, this is a great film for a lazy day drinking day or a goofy night with a small group of friends. Pairs with bad ideas that intended to be good ideas. Watch in clothes you haven't washed in weeks.

I've watched this film on Hoopla, or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's side bar to locate where else you can find this splatter festival.
