MICROWAVE MASSACRE

Dir. Wayne Berwick, 1983
76 mins, USA

Donald & May are a working class couple in Los Angeles. When May decides she want to try up their social status by getting gourmet in the kitchen, she purchases a humongous new microwave. Donald, content with bologna and not impressed by his wife's poor attempts as haute cuisine, spends a lot of time complaining to his co-workers.

One night in a drunken rage, he kills May. He stashes parts of her in the fridge and some in the microwave. A few days later, while looking for a midnight snack, Donald accidentally eats some of May's hand.

From there it's a downward spiral of hooker murder and serving human flesh to his friends and co-workers. How long can Donald keep this up? Can his heart, and more importantly his stomach, take it?

Jackie Vernon (FROSTY THE SNOWMAN) in his final role and one that almost went to Rodney Dangerfield (but he wanted too much money) chews the scenery among other things in a cacophany of T&A, cannibalism, and tacky furniture. The late night snack you need to cap off the unluckiest day of this entire garbage year.
