Arrow Films has brought the lunacy of Microwave Massacre to Blu-ray this week, and right now we have a clip from the package! Gotta say… this transfer? Wow.
Microwave Massacre Release Details:
THEY CAME FOR DINNER… TO FIND THEY WERE IT!!
Microwave Massacre stars legendary stand-up comedian and actor Jackie Vernon (the voice of Frosty the Snowman from the beloved animated Rankin/Bass classic animated holiday special) as Donald, a disgruntled construction worker whose wife’s predilection for haute cuisine drives him to cannibalism.
Donald unwittingly stumbles upon a solution to his two major problems in his life – his nagging wife and his lack of tasty meals – when, one night, he bludgeons his better half to death with a pepper grinder in a drunken rage. Thinking on his feet, Donald dismembers the body and sets about microwaving the remains, which turn out to be rather delicious. Trouble is, now he’s got a taste for human flesh that needs satisfying…
Eschewing all notions of good taste, Wayne Berwick’s Microwave Massacre is a deliciously depraved exercise in political incorrectness that has gone on to gain a cult following thanks to a characteristically deadpan performance from lead Vernon, who delivers such choice lines as: “I’m so hungry, I could eat a whore.” Vegetarians need not apply!
