Microwave Massacre

UK only in August

THEY CAME FOR DINNER…TO FIND THEY WERE IT!!
Microwave Massacre stars legendary stand-up comedian and actor Jackie Vernon 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 whore". Vegetarians need not apply!

Unsurprisingly, I've seen this:
domino harvey wrote:Microwave Massacre (Wayne Berwick 1983) Friars' favorite Jackie Vernon just can't stop killing and cooking and eating women in this bizarre Catskills-style horror comedy. Essentially eighty-five straight minutes of bad one liners from a never-materialized Ed Gein Roast, that Microwave Massacre is a film that exists-- Vernon at one point slathers a naked girl in butter and then smothers her between two five-foot slices of bread-- is proof that for better or worse, there's no shortage of novelty in this genre.
EDIT: And once was enough
