Fangoriaonline, the definitive horror bog has a profile of New Zealand’s favorite son, Peter Jackson, and his years making horror movies.
What many people don’t realize is that it was Peter Jackson that gave Kate Winslet her break in the movie Heavenly Creatures (1994), her first movie role.
Peter Jackson’s first full length movie was Bad Taste (1987). It was made with a $250 second hand camera.
Peter Jackson was born in Pukerua Bay North of Wellington.

I just re-watched “Heavenly Creatures” a couple of months ago. It’s a very good, though disturbing movie.

Jackson’s skill is in the shall we say, dark and brooding. That is why he is so successful. But I agree with you.
Cheers

To many non film buff’s Peter jackson only came to light with the lord of the rings trilogy, But for me his earlier movies better portray his directing skill’s and dark mind.

Peter Jackson is a great director. I particularly loved his Heavenly Creatures, Lord of the Rings and King Kong. I’m not so familiar with his horror works but I’m inspired to look them up now.
