Bad Taste

Early cult Peter Jackson movie

Synopsis

Aliens from outer space come to earth in search of human flesh for an inter-galactic fast-food chain. Who will save the world? A small, quiet seaside town is even quieter than usual. All the local inhabitants have disappeared. Could someone have chopped them all into pieces?

Their fate, it seems has been caused by a small contingent of violent aliens. They've arrive on earth in search of human flesh to use as hamburger meat in their inter-galatic fast-food chain.
Before the last inhabitant of the small town breathes no more, there's a panic-stricken call for help to the outside world.
It's time for the newly-formed Alien Investigation and Defence Service - Barry, Derek, Frank and Ozzie head for the danger zone, where they begin to deal systematically to the aliens, whenever they can find them.
Their problems increase when a charity worker arrives in the little town. He wants to collect money for a good cause. But instead he finds himself being marinated...in preparation for the aliens' farewell feast.
Barry, Frank and Ozzie start out to rescue the marinating charity worker. Derek, meantime, begins wreaking a peculiarly personal vengeance on the aliens.
Giles is rescued after a series of Rambo-esque tactics, plus the loss of Frank's car and several nerve-wracking confrontations.
But ultimately it is Derek, single-handed, who completes the assignment by killing the alien leader in a macabrely gory ritual of termination which takes place in outer space.

Watch out aliens...here comes Derek.
