Microwave Massacre
Construction worker Donald is having a hard time getting anything good to eat since his wife has decided to only cook gourmet foods. That and her constant harping causes him to snap, so he whacks her. Somewhere in the confusion he comes up with a new use for the microwave oven, and begins to eat much better. Soon he's experimenting with different recipes. And different meats.
Why it matters
A gleefully grimy slice of early ’80s grindhouse horror that turns suburban malaise into a cannibalistic kitchen nightmare.
- A cult classic of the food horror subgenre, blending dark comedy with unapologetic gore and absurdity.
- Practical effects deliver squishy, squelchy body horror that holds up as prime splatterhouse material.
- Perfect for fans of Troma-style excess and midnight movie madness who enjoy their horror with a side of black humor.
- More bizarre than scary, it’s a time capsule of low-budget creativity and ’80s microwave obsession gone grotesquely wrong.
