Anton Bitel Little White Lies This is nostalgia at its most wrong, but also, for those of a certain mindset, it might prove a lost treasure from the trash - like the woman's arm that a passing bum finds in Donald's rubbish bin, and repurposes as a crotch- and back-scratcher. Aug 15, 2016 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Vegetarians beware, this is a meateaters delight and the faint of heart should probably steer clear. Rated: 1.5/4.0 Sep 16, 2020 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...the movie's extreme incompetence ensures that even the most open-minded of viewers will find nothing worth embracing here. Rated: .5/4 Aug 26, 2016 Full Review Christopher Machell CineVue Microwave Massacre is one piece of trash that really should be consigned to the refuse pile of history. Rated: 1/5 Aug 15, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Brianna B This movie is SO awful that it's great! Watch this movie with your friends, I promise you, you will have a great time! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie has a lot of comedic value. The storyline is very unique, you find a construction worker (Jackie Vernon) who is fed up with his wife's mediocre cooking, he decides the take things into his own hands and in a drunken rage strangles his wife to death and hides her body in the microwave. From there he gets an idea. The movie is very fun, when you're not looking at it from a critical standpoint. You have funny characters played by amateur actors. The movie seems almost like an improv comedy sketch. And maybe that's why I liked it so much. I would recommend it to anyone looking for fun with a buddy or anyone looking for a laugh. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not for movie snobs, but it's good in ways one wouldn't expect. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member True artistry! I can't say I've seen a greater cinematic masterpiece. PLEASE watch this movie! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Microwave Massacre is the Porkys of Trash Horror. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A fun movie that is deffinetly not meant to be taken seriously. Technically this movie is horrible. It has cheap plastic body parts, a plot that doesn't make sense, and it didn't have much to do with the actual microwave. If you put that aside this movie was highly entertaining, and believe it or not it is actually funny at times. So overall if you just want to watch a nice fun, cheap, and some what funny film this one is perfect. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
