Jackson directed, wrote (with help) and appeared in Bad Taste back in 1987. In the movie, “the population of a small town disappears and is replaced by aliens that chase human flesh for their intergalactic fast-food chain.” Read more on IMDB...Bad Taste is a mix of hilarious and gross slapstick. Here’s a perfect example... A favorite characters of mine, one of the special agents sent to save us from the aliens, fell early in the film and spent the remainder of the film trying to reincorporate his spilled brains back into his scull cavity.
While doing research on the film, I happened across some interesting trivia about the movie, like it took Jackson 4 years to make Bad Taste. And that “the movie was banned in the Australian state of Queensland until the early-'90s when the Queensland Censorship Board was disbanded.” More interesting movie trivia about Bad Taste on IMDB
I remember watching Dead Alive/Brain Dead with my youngest son, although it’s not a movie I’d recommend you let your kids watch. Dead Alive is a mixture of extreme gore and comedy, so no surprise, he and I were glued to the TV screen laughing and cringing all at the same time. The movie is about “Lionel, a Mama's boy, who has the unwanted honor of having to look after his overbearingly evil mother. He ends up falling in love with a local woman who believes that they're destined together. In a moment of intentional sabotage of one of their dates, his mother is bitten by a mysterious creature that ends up zombifying her.” Lionel’s mother hunts human prey and quickly turns everyone she bites into zombies. Lionel fights the zombies in one of the goriest blood fests on film. There’s a scene with a lawnmower you’ve just gotta see! Read more on IMDB...
If you have a strong stomach don't miss these films! Both are a 5 out of 5!
