Could a title be any more direct? New Zealand maverick Peter Jackson made a splash (well, more of a splatter) with this film debut, a slapstick gross-out comedy about an alien fast-food franchise that turns a small town into a cheap source of meat. All that stands in the extraterrestrials’ way is the Alien Investigation Defense Service (yes, it’s a tasteless gag), a bunch of would-be Rambos who take on the aliens with axes, rocket launchers, and chainsaws. Jackson mines vomit jokes, dismembered corpses, and brain-spattering gore for over-the-top laughs and succeeds with inventive low-budget effects, crack timing, and sheer exuberance. Not bad for a film made on weekends with homemade props and a bunch of energetic mates. Jackson topped himself a few years later with the even more outrageous and hilarious bloody gut-buster Dead Alive.
The limited-edition two-disc set also includes the documentary featurette “Good Taste Made Bad Taste,” a revealing “making of” shot at the time of production and featuring behind-the-scenes footage of Jackson’s home-made special effects, and a 16-page booklet with cast interviews. –Sean Axmaker

When an army of evil aliens invades earth intending to sell humans as intergalactic hamburger meat, the New Zealand government calls in an elite team of psychotic assassins. But are these boys brutal enough to tackle the vilest villains in the universe? From director Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings), it’s the ultimate battle of flying guts, splattering brains, exploding sheep and guzzling vomit.
This is a horror-comedy that fails miserably: it’s not the least bit suspenseful or funny. The special effects are bad, they are DISASTEROUS!!! Everything in this film is a failure: acting, music, pacing, effects, editing, camera work, etc…A complete and total disappointment.

I thought this movie was quite possibly one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Parts were slightly humorous, but the movie in general had a poor plot, bad acting, and no redeeming value. Definitely not worth the [$$]+…

I’ve seen this movie a dozen or more times and why i keep watching it, i will never no! the fact is the gore is like a must see thing to me, and i bet i will watch it again after i write this! i like movies like this, but leave out the comedy, it makes it a bet stupit to have comedy with horror! anyway’s, i watch it only for the gore and not the comedy! it’s number 1 in gore and double 0 zero in comedy, horror is not to be laughed at unless your a psycho nut case! just laugh at the comedy and we will get along fine!

I have seen some bad and cheesy movies, but this is just plain crap. I would rather get a bad case of crotch-rot(again) before watching this turd of a movie again.

This movie is one of the most dull, boring movies that I have ever seen. Although I usually like movies that don’t have a decent plot or decent acting, this one just didn’t cut it. A major waste of money here.
