"Alien fast food sucks"

Films: Bad Taste (1987)

Alias: None

Type: Alien

Location: Civilized area

Height/Weight: That of an average human.

Affiliation: Evil

Summary: Corrupt corporate executives, sad to say, aren't limited to Earth. Some come from the stars, and if profit means making us endure enslavement and horrible violence, they don't care.

History: The New Zealand village of Kaihoro isn't what it used to be. An alien race has taken the place over, replacing the population and harvesting those they have taken for quick fast food. Leading them is the tyrannical Lord Crumb, who soon realizes that he'll have his hands full when a man with his brain literally leaking out his head, named Derek, comes to end his regime.

Notable Kills: Nothing special.

Final Fate: After Derek and friends lead an assault on the main base, Derek rips Lord Crumb in half with his chainsaw. As his friends stay on Earth, he adds insult to injury by wearing Crumb's skin and heading towards the alien planet for vengeance.

Powers/Abilities: Can copy human forms.

Weakness: Anything conventional.

Scariness Factor: 3-A hostile alien takeover is scary, and these aliens are pretty disgusting in their morals and mannerisms. But if some unhinged youth can take out most of their best, chances are we won't have too much to fear.

Trivia: -This was the first film to ever have any involvement from Peter Jackson.

-Some of the aliens make a quick cameo in Jackson's later violent Muppets parody, "Meet the Feebles".

Get used to this image folks.


Of course his human disguise is a dead ringer for the neighbor your dad used to hate.
Basically, a good summary of the chaos to follow.

Oh, they're not undead. It's so much worse.


May bloodshed free the world.

"Knock knock! We wish to enslave you! Nothing personal!"


There's an image NOBODY wanted to see.
