About
If you want a low-budget horror comedy with over-the-top, laugh-in-your-face mayhem, Bad Taste delivers; Not for you if you’re squeamish about extreme gore or dislike the so-bad-it’s-awesome vibe of The Stuff or Tremors.
Pros: gross-out fun; cult classic energy; DIY charm | Cons: amateurish effects; offensive gore; hit-or-miss humor
