Rating:
Peter Jackson is a unique filmmaker who is primarily known for his later films, but it is his earlier films that I find to be some of his better flicks.
+4
#3: 1992 brought about the release of Dead Alive, a campie horror comedy film that I have always considered one of my favorite films.
#2: In 1989 a very disturbing film was released call Meet the Feebles. This flick was the second feature length film Jackson directed. Although it is not a widely known film it is one that you will never forget once you see it.
#1: The Frighteners hit theaters in 1996 and terrified me. 15 years later and I can still remember the movie poster of the of the monster pushing its way through a white canvas. It was not just the poster that scared me as a 10 yr old horror fan, but the idea that when it was our time to die that we might have a number etched into our forehead. Personally I find this to be the best picture he made.
I feel that these early films are far too often forgotten and they shouldn't be. If you haven't seen these films I recommend checking them out.
