Braindead
Why this pick
Peter Jackson pushes Bad Taste’s handmade splatter, anarchic slapstick, and gleefully excessive creature effects into a faster, more confident zombie-comedy spectacle.

01
02
Re-Animator
Why this pick
Its mad-scientist premise, practical gore, deadpan performances, and escalating absurdity share Bad Taste’s joyful refusal to separate gross-out horror from cartoonish comedy.
03
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Why this pick
Goofy extraterrestrial invaders, inventive low-budget effects, and affectionate B-movie lunacy make this a natural companion to Bad Taste’s alien carnage.
04
Street Trash
Why this pick
Its grimy, practical-effects-driven body horror and aggressively irreverent humor match the era’s underground splatter energy, though with a nastier urban edge.
05
Meet the Feebles
Why this pick
Jackson channels the same amateur-insurrection energy into a wildly filthy puppet backstage satire, retaining Bad Taste’s love of grotesquerie and escalating comic chaos.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The Astro Investigation and Defence Service (AIDS) sends their agents, Derek, Frank, Ozzy, and Barry to investigate the disappearance of the entire population of the town of Kaihoro. They find the town has been overrun by man-eating space aliens disguised as humans in blue shirts. Barry kills one of the aliens and is attacked by others. After Derek notifies Frank and Ozzy, he begins torturing Robert, an alien they caught earlier. Robert's screaming attracts a number of aliens in the area. Derek kills the would-be rescuers, but he is attacked by Robert and falls off a cliff ledge, to his presumed death.
