Synopsis

For the third and most spectacular edition to date, Max Rockatansky, cult-specialist and energetic promoter of bad taste in all its forms, will again be your guide for a journey of discovery through the sewers of cinematic bad taste. Three years of research in the basements of film archives across Europe has yielded an exquisite program of obscure trailers, embarrassing film clips, and a sphincter-paralysing feature film. If you’re sick and tired of the predictable Hollywood blockbusters, if you’ve had a belly-full of politically correct arthouse films, if you can’t even find comfort in your local video store anymore, then you must visit The Night of Bad Taste and discover a cinematic cesspool whose existance you couldn’t have suspected even in your wildest dreams!
