5.0 out of 5 stars It was the best of movies, it was the worst of movies!, June 10, 2000

By	Andrew Martello (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews

Let me just start out by saying that this is quite possibly the WORST movie ever made! Horrible acting, awful story, lousy music, atrocious editing, and completely unfunny humor are all of it's endearing qualities! This is just a stupid little movie with very few redeeming traits...which is why I love it! You can almost ALWAYS win those "worst movies ever" contests with your friends with this one. I can't even begin to describe how many times this movie failed in every attempt it made to be good. It's goodness lies purely within it's poorness! Here's an example...the BEST line in the movie is, "I'm so hungry, I could eat a whore!" You be the judge from this point on. All I can say is that it's my all-time favorite bad movie and I'm proud to own it! I wish it were on DVD! You should just break down and buy the damn thing because renting it is most assuredly an impossibility these days! Long live Jackie Vernon's powerful body of work...Frosty the Snowman, Microwave Massacre, & Amazon Women on the Moon! 'Nuff said!

1.0 out of 5 stars One brief shining moment..., December 1, 2001

By	Miles D. Moore (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Microwave Massacre is even worse than it sounds. It is cheap, sleazy soft-core porn masquerading as horror comedy, starring Jackie Vernon as a construction worker who kills and eats his nagging wife, then goes on a cannibalistic rampage. The special effects make Ed Wood look like George Lucas, most of the acting makes Tor Johnson look like Anthony Hopkins, and the whole thing is unbearably long at 75 minutes. Its only point of interest--and its tragedy--is Vernon, a hilarious deadpan comedian and the TV voice of Frosty the Snowman. Vernon was bankrupt and penniless toward the end of his life, and desperate for any work he could get; Microwave Massacre demonstrates just how desperate he was. But there is one moment in the film when Vernon showed he still had what it took. In that scene, his wife screams at him from the other room to wipe his feet; Vernon, with a look of consummate disgust that would have done credit to Oliver Hardy, steps up on the sofa and wipes his feet on the cushions. There it is: not enough to recommend the movie, but enough to show how foolish Hollywood was to chew up and spit out a talent like Jackie Vernon.
