20. Microwave Massacre (FTV)
Construction worker dissatisfied with his wife and her failed attempts at exotic cooking kills two birds with one stone by chopping her up and eating her. Soon he's luring more women to his kitchen and turning them into dinner. Billed as "The Worst Horror Movie Ever Made", Microwave Massacre is actually pretty entertaining for its sheer awfulness. Unlike many bad movies which are simply boring and unfunny, MM made me laugh out loud several times. Gratuitous nudity and bad dialogue abounds, and I'm guessing a smut film cinematographer was involved. Although released in 1983 it was obviously shot in the 70's and couldn't find a distributor until the home video market exploded. Somewhat disconcertingly, the lead role is played by Jackie Vernon, who is best known as the voice of the original "Frosty the Snowman"! Fans of trash cinema will enjoy, and this is the kind of movie you'll want to show to your friends so you can see the look on their faces during all the cringe-worthy moments. Still I can't find it in my heart to give it 3 stars.
2.5 out of 5 stars.
