About the film

Bad Taste is a 1987 New Zealand science-fiction action comedy horror film written, produced, filmed, directed by and co-starring Peter Jackson. 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. The film was shot in Northern Wellington over the course of four years, and eventually received nearly a quarter of a million dollars in New Zealand Film Commission assistance, providing Jackson with the leverage necessary to advance in the film industry. Since its release, Bad Taste has become a cult film and has received stronger reviews.
