I know to be boring with these horror / splatter but you must start with bases all over to tackle the modern cinema.
And where to start if not signed by this cult-movie director Peter Jackson?
First of all we do an overview: the movie was filmed in the hometown of Mr. Jackson and is a very low production cost, about $ 25,000, which was shot in the "free time" as if it were an exercise in style. A shooting was completed, the New Zealand Film Commission to invest another large sum to make a film in all respects. This means that we see every scene and every special effect available to the author are arranged in the best possible, with the help of friends and relatives. Just watching the end credits we see that the director himself plays two roles of respect: the good Derek, a member of the squad and Robert, the alien cannibal-cult supporter of the scene in which brains dirattamente banquet at the source, with the 'using a nice spoon - in short, to him brains, I cereal. Keeping an eye on the end credits we see that the actor who plays the character of Frank has also worked on the soundtrack, a song in particular if I remember correctly (but the title of which escapes me). Well, we're at the level of "tell me what you can do and see as employees ... and if this is terribly fascinating for the viewer to imagine what effect it can have on me, avid movie buff.
But we can live in the film. The plot is a shocking stupidity, bordering on the ridiculous. A demonstration of this is a little anecdote about me: Once I told a friend the intention of create a short film with the same plot of Bad Taste (film unknown to him) and finished the explanation I laughed in his face. The next day I pointed out that the film existed and had not only launched his film to the top, but also had become a cult classic of the genre. Incredulos face, of course. Now let's go down to it, without stalling: the aliens are on earth to collect as much flesh as possible. This will be brought to their planet and served in the largest chain of fast food locally.
can well understand that this plot can only afford one like this demented splatter from the mold. The acting is very rough, "effects Special "are anything but special and also the shape of the aliens is disgusting, but it is just because of his grotesque essence of the film is so exciting. Some scenes are also very momentous: Derek ending down from the cliff and try to forgive pieces of brain splattered everywhere, the skull opened, the alien that Robert uses his head to a colleague as a cup and eats his brains out with a spoon; Barry aliens in the house cleaning the ground and when his colleagues will kill one , complained in a tone of regret, "No, I'm clean."
I look in this film means something profound implications for analysis, but it is clear that this is a real "exercise style "for the teacher Jackson, grappling with one of his early work.
So take it as it comes and enjoy its genuine air and grotesque, his reflexes and his tragicomic splatter ideas which, in my opinion, can still instruction.
After all, here, unlike the more recent horror productions, in bad taste is only the title.
