to be continued till finished...really who knows if i'll ever manage to sit through all of these. i'm sure some suck beyond all belief and others are fair if mediocre copies of them. here's my reviews of the ones i did watch as i watched them:

"bad taste" peter jackson directed this movie which sometimes gets called a zombie movie...its not in any way. take one look at movies like this and then his resume and you'll wonder how the hell he got the 'lord of the rings' gig...and then how the hell he pulled it off. there's nothing suggesting that level of competence here. this at best is a low brow british comedy knock off with a bit of horror mixed in. all the comedy is delivered in that high nasal pitch and drunken slur of australian's accent. since this particular dvd of it offers neither subtitles nor closed captioning, you're certain to miss a good amount of the dialog. of course you could follow the movie without dialog, its fairly simple.
basically a group of aliens invade a town and are harvesting the people to send back to their world as food. the movie follows a group of 'fighters' of some sort that are tracking them and attempting to stop them. an unknowing 'salesman' sort've character gets caught by the aliens and he's going to become a roast for a celebration. the team of fighters are there to set him free. fighting ensues.
the movie starts horrible; bad filming of a school project quality, bad acting, silly jokes. it does actually get better all around and in the end its a decent watchable movie. the jokes are always silly but strange enough to keep your attention. the plot is unique, the characters are quirky for sure. at an hour and a half you'd think...especially given the slow beginning and other way to slow scenes...that this movie would be hard to tolerate all the way through. truthfully though its a good pace all and all. its not perfect by far but unique enough and good enough to be worth a watch. cult material for sure.
