From my favorite movies..

Don't listen to the negative reviews

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This movie simply sucks.Everything about this movie is incredibly bad. Well, not all the camera work, I guess. But the rest. ALL the rest.Nothing makes much sense or seems natural. The jokes range from stupid to extremely stupid, and none are funny at all. The acting (acting?) is bad, and not in a funny way. Every scene seems to be the first take. Some of the scenes are way too long, so that the dialogue comes off as even worse and more unnatural than it could have been, with just a few cuts. The dialogue is atrocious.If this movie was filmed all in one take, with no professional actors, heck, no professionals what so ever, and no script, all improvised, then I would maybe forgive it. The best thing about this stinker is the topless women. But even that comes with a bad aftertaste, as all the women are there just to be sexy. They are pretty hot, but come on. This is clearly from another time, when sexism wasn't much of a subject.Had this movie been entertaining I would have given it a higher score. I don't do the 'so-bad-it's-good'-thing. If a movie is "bad", but still entertains me, I think it's good. But this crappy s**t is not entertaining. It's a total fail.The short run time is the only reason I finished watching it, it's 1 hour 16 minutes. With about 2 minutes of credits. But I had to take some breaks. I think it's one of the worst movies I've seen.

Man, I wish I had a time machine to go back to the early 80s when anyone with twenty-five bucks and five hours to kill can make a movie.There's no real reason to see this, or even review this…so if this takes me more than another few minutes, I'll cut it off mid-stream. Basically, I saw the VHS box at the local video store as a kid and wasn't allowed to see horror/R-rated movies. I'm trying to fill in all the gaps as an adult…but, maybe my parents were right.This microwave "movie" was made just to capitalize on the microwave boom around the early 80s – I remember when we got our first one, of course it was much smaller than the 10'x10' one featured in this "film." The "movie" has almost nothing to do with the microwave and more about a guy fed up with his wife's cooking so he kills her, eats her and then does the same to more women. This "project" is supposed to be a sex-romp comedy first with some horror thrown in. Admittedly, one gag – the TV episode – worked and I did laugh. The rest, not so much.Luckily, I found this free on Youtube, and even that price was too high. Someone please report it for copyright infringement so no one else has to suffer.***Final thoughts: Day 20 Movie in the Can! I'm watching a NEW-2-ME horror movie every day of October 2016 and this one makes me doubt watching any more "new-2-me" horror movies. Fortunately, it's only 76 minutes, but you'll feel every bit of those.

Construction worker Donald (Jackie Vernon) 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 cause him to snap, and 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.AllMovie wrote, "Despite utterly failing as comedy, horror and pornography, Microwave Massacre is grotesque enough in design and attitude to be fascinating, much like a car accident." That summary is perfect. "Microwave Massacre" is bad in almost every way, especially Vernon's acting. But there are some funny scenes and jokes that make it worthwhile. The drive-through scene is especially humorous, and for those who know Vernon mostly as Frosty the Snowman's voice, this will twist what you think of Frosty.Now, maybe not too much should be expected for a film with a budget under $100,000. But it does make for interesting shooting techniques -- saving money by using Mickey Dolenz's house as a set, and having Robert Burns (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) do art direction for only $1,000. Burns, who also appears as a homeless man, was referred to the film by no less a figure than Wes Craven. So that might make this film's background a bit more interesting...The producers originally wanted Rodney Dangerfield, but ended up with Jackie Vernon. His acting is awful, and actually the worst thing about the film, but he does offer a few ad libs. Would Dangerfield have been better? Yes, no doubt. Luckily, the other actors -- especially the two construction workers -- are excellent actors. Except, of course, this only further points out how bad Vernon is.How this has become a "cult classic" is beyond me. Is it the gratuitous addition of topless women? Is it Jackie Vernon? Or is it one of those so-bad-it's-good types of things? I love bad movies as much as anyone, but for me this really is not one of the great forgotten gems.Regardless, Arrow Video has done what they do best and put their heart and soul into making this as good as it can be. There is a brand new 2K restoration from the original camera negative, which looks pretty good for such a low budget film. There is a brand new audio commentary with writer-producer Craig Muckler, moderated by Mike Tristano, with plenty of stories about Wes Craven, "Phantasm", Jill Schoelen, "Creature From the Black Lagoon" and more. This is really the best part of the disc. (Because Muckler has certain phrases he uses a lot, the commentary would make a great drinking game.) Lastly, we have "My Microwave Massacre Memoirs" a new making-of featurette including interviews with Muckler, director Wayne Berwick and actor Loren Schein. Although brief, it does expound on Muckler's commentary a bit and is worth a watch.

This movie has an under developed storyline, poor acting and a worse script. However, if you - like me - are the kind of person willing to go out of their way to see this film, you should know what you're in for and enjoy it.The premise of the movie itself is worth a laugh. A man gets drunk, murders his snob of a wife and microwaves her to death? And then in the morning, with no recollection of the previous night he calls out to her only to find her in the microwave, cut her up and chuck her in the fridge - and later on, eat her and enjoy it without realising who it is he's eating.Whatever's written on the back of the DVD cover should be enough to show you what the movie'll be like - if the name didn't tell you in the first place. A hilariously bad storyline is carried by hilariously bad jokes - most of which are told by a hilariously bad actor. If there are three kinds of bad movies: bad (Highway Musical); so bad its good; and so bad its still bad (They Saved Hitler's Brain) - then there is no doubt this movie fits in to the middle category.Though just an interested kid myself, I see many people have fond memories of watching this movie 20 years ago and its not hard to see why. This is definitely a great, funny, satisfying movie if you're into so-bad-its-good movies.I've no idea what to rate it - as a movie it deserves somewhere around 3 or 4. As a trashy 'so bad its good' movie (sorry to keep using that phrase, I promise that's the last time) it's worth somewhere around 7 or 8. If we rate it in terms of how it achieves the aims of its creators - probably around 9 or 10. Considering the fact that it definitely does NOT deserve something as low as its current rating and I think we can average it out to about 8.
