I heard about this film a couple of times, people told me how great it was, that it was a classic. I was introduced to Jackson with Braindead I believe, followed by The Frighteners. I watched some other films directed by him afterwards and found them quite decent (except for King Kong). So I said, why not? I used to enjoy guts the more the better, and found Jackson inspiring enough.
Well, after 10-15 min of Bad Taste, I was wondering if I'm too old for that kind of stuff, because I couldn't find anything interesting about this film. The jokes seemed too simple or stupid, the gore was nowhere to be seen really and the general feeling was of, let's say, disarray.
Then, towards the middle of the movie, the real action gets started. Forget any sense, plot or logical arguments here: when you have heads exploding, guys drinking vomit and bodies being chopped in half, you don't need anything else.
I must say that the FX's are impressive, old school and very, erm, "nice".
Alas, taking in consideration the resources and the date this was released, you have to give Jackson his credit.
Add +1 to my vote if you worship gore. Another +1 if you are into classic stuff. And one more +1 if you like to see Peter Jackson acting.
If you want to watch this just because you loved Lord Of The Rings or Heavenly Creatures, run away, fast.
