Plot
Alien invaders have taken over a small New Zealand town to turn its people into fast food, and the local defence team arrives.
Sinekatalog’s take
Peter Jackson's homemade gore comedy is a gleefully disgusting alien-invasion splatterfest. Made on a shoestring over years, it is rough and silly but full of invention and cult charm.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
