Peter Jackson
Blessed with abundant film-making talent and with a love for the extreme and the over-the-top evident in any film he makes, this New Zealander
started with splatter movies but after exploring that genre to its limits, tried his hand at various other genres and movies
until Hollywood caught up with him and agreed to give him Lord of the Rings. Everything he touches is solid, wondrous entertainment
and a labor of love. Here's hoping Hollywood doesn't spoil him.
Bad Taste
Cult splatter movie filmed on camcorder. Aliens
invade Australia looking to chop up human flesh and sell it as a delicacy but
didn't expect to find anything like Derek and his chainsaw. The fact that bits of his brain
keep falling out doesn't help either. Plenty of gore and hilariously shocking adventures.
Braindead (AKA Dead Alive)
A rather special type of poisonous monkey is found and taken to a local zoo. Lionel's monstrous
mother gets bitten and turns into a zombie, and Lionel tries to hide this embarrassing secret
in his cellar. Things get hilariously out of hand. This is the goriest, most fun splatter movie ever made.
Among other things, we see intestines chasing a man with intent to commit murder, and the bloodiest, longest climax
ever made where Lionel cuts up scores of zombies with a lawn-mower.
Meet the Feebles
Peter Jackson forever changes muppets with this gory satire on show business. Filth,
gore, perversion, depravity and extreme violence plague the Feebles, a group of muppets
going downhill fast into extirpation.
