10 Obscure Sci-Fi Horror Movies You Need To Watch

10. Bad Taste

Looking back at the first movie made by one of your favourite filmmakers can be a lot of fun, but for fans of the summer blockbuster director Peter Jackson, they might end up feeling a little disoriented if they aren't prepared. While he's known now for creating wild and lavish worlds, Jackson started in the twisted world of splatter movies, and his first feature-length project was this crazy Sci-Fi flick.

The movie follows four members of the Astro Investigation and Defence Service (AIDS - how very tasteful) as they investigate a town where all the civilians have been replaced by maniacal aliens who are reaping human flesh for their intergalactic fast-food chain. From there, it becomes a simple us vs them movie full of violence, bloodshed and a tonne of practical effects.

Bad Taste had a tiny budget, and thus all of the visuals have a perfect B-movie vibe, but with the cinematic eye of Jackson. It was clear that he was going places, as this flick makes up for its cheapness wherever it can, by playing to the grossness of the gore and going as over-the-top as possible - the genre is called splatter for a reason.

Its a great experience if you want something that lovingly subverts the sci-fi genre by filling it full of profanity and, well, bad taste.
