Synopsis:

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 a *****”. Vegetarians need not apply!

This looks so horrendous. Never seen it. I kind of can't wait. For better or worse.

Gotta pick this up for that cover alone. Movie is probably the pits (by all accounts it is) but I can't help it. I'm drawn to the sleaze

Of all the horror films not out on Blu-ray they pick this one? Must have cost them all of 5 bucks to get the rights to this lol

tylerdurden10 · 05-06-2016, 04:51 PM

I love Arrow, but man where do they find these random unknown movies! lol

Having said that, sounds right up my alley of sleaze that I enjoy.

dadaluholla · 05-06-2016, 04:54 PM

I rented this back in the days of VHS, and I don't think we even made it half way through. It's pretty horrible, and not even in a fun way.

MifuneFan · 05-06-2016, 04:58 PM

This seriously needs the MST3K or rifftrax treatment

willtopower · 05-06-2016, 04:59 PM

I'm basically just going to be paying for that artwork. I'm ok with that.

Pinot Grigio · 05-06-2016, 05:24 PM

After watching those none-liners, I may pick this up after all. Stupid fun.

Ruemorgue10 · 05-06-2016, 05:24 PM

Count me in for this one. I've never seen it, but it looks like would make a fun double feature with Eating Raoul.

jsvg00 · 05-06-2016, 05:39 PM

Fantastic news! One of the best horror comedies ever made. I can't wait.

Yeah, makes me think: If this can get a BD release, then basically anything is possible.

NoirFan · 05-06-2016, 05:41 PM

That cover art is priceless. Well Done, Arrow!

Cover art looks amazing, but wow, that clip makes the movie look god awful!!

dumb_dutchman · 05-06-2016, 06:52 PM

So this stars Jackie Vernon, aka Frosty the Snowman. Interesting.

Yeah I really like the cover but idk if I should get this it looks terrible.

On second thought, I'll just go ahead and blind buy this.

I love IMDb's to-the-point synopsis: "A guy kills his wife because she's a bad cook."

NoirFan · 05-06-2016, 08:43 PM

Please tell me that this alternate VHS art will be incorporated into the packaging somehow:
