what is it with days and vampires anyway????

but as i said to them during production and screening (yes im a local) kudos for getting undead up and going.

i wish them luck with this one

The script wasn't very funny, the music was beyond terrible and worst of all for me was the pacing. The editing was just awkward and made the movie feel like it was barely moving at all. Combined with some pretty made-for-TV lighting, it made for a visually unengaging story about a zombie/alien attack.

What sets "Bad Taste" apart; It was well-paced and the jokes it had, whilst stupid, worked. I never checked the time when I was watching it and was left to enjoy the utter outrageousness of the violence on screen.

I realise the brothers had very little money and had to use CGI a lot, but the use of computer graphics immediately dated their picture, distanced me from really seeing any of the gore as anything but an effect. Moreover, their obvious efforts to make a slick looking movie was at odds with the "crazy movie matinee" feeling they were going for.

Jackson's all practical effects bonanza gave his movie a grubby homemade aesthetic that was both viscerally involving and just plain silly fun. He never made it look particularly pretty and that was the right choice for such an empty-headed juvenile film (that still kicks ass).

RR's "Planet Terror" is another good example, but in that case everything was done with an eye towards quality except the ridiculous script. The effects were top notch (mostly practical!), the lighting was great, the camera-work and editing (except for the obvious exception) was fine. Nothing was out of place, which made enjoying the insane story far easier.
