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.

Microwave Massacre I can easily say was garbage but there is something special about how bad it is its just so memorable. Jackie Vernon plays Donald a man who just wants a good meal and hates his wife May and her cooking so he decides cannibalism is the best option and boy the effects and makeup are the greatest they are so bad its incredible. The comedy in this movie hits but in all the wrong places and Jackie Vernon performance is brilliantly bad it seems like he didn't care but at the same time I know the movie a comedy and I think that might have been the aim with his performance. The directing is something of pure genius how bad all the camera work is and even finding a lot of mistakes with continuity and even seeing crew members at one point. The movie is awful its not a masterpiece but god I enjoyed myself watching this and I highly recommend this disaster.

The 8 is given for those who get a kick out of purposefully raunchy comedy horror satire films. The film was originally filmed in 1981 by a UCLA student as part of a school project but wasn't released until 1983. The purpose of the school project was to write and film an exploitation movie. Well, apparently the guy got an "A" on his project. Microwave Massacre doesn't fail in the cheese department but that is its ultimate charm. It is misogynistic and corny. Poor Donald, the regular guy construction worker is tormented by his shrew wife and her insistence on having "gourmet" microwave meals. Donald is played by comedian Jackie Vernon and the movie is full of classic deadpan one-liners. Plenty of gratuitous nudity and crude, obvious humor. Horrible props and the boom mic is visible in several scenes. If you want a good laugh, give it a whirl. Maybe an hour and twenty minutes long. Awful late disco/early 80s music. For camp horror film fans, it doesn't disappoint.

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.
