“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Microwave Massacre (1983)
How bad is it? It's a sex-obsessed comedy horror film that's not funny, scary or sexy.
Should you see it? Depends on how desperate you are.
The one thing I liked about this film was the drum-heavy music of the opening, which shows a girl (Marla Simon, in what must be her only film) bouncing down the street - it's just campy enough - but it gets used more than once. She flashes her breasts through a knothole in a fence at a construction site and then gets leered at throughout the film (except by one guy who's afraid of women). Comedian Jackie Vernon, in his only film, plays deadpan throughout, in a story about how bad his wife's cooking is (live crab sandwiches?) and how he ends up bludgeoning her with a peppermill, then storing her in a freezer and then, absentmindedly (!) eating part of her... and liking it. And sharing it with his co-workers, who also enjoy it. Then he needs more meat. The movie ends with repairmen saying the microwave wouldn't be good for a guy with a pacemaker. Finally, the wife's head is seen in the fridge and her eyes glow evilly - for no real reason. The movie's awful in many ways, but it's not unwatchable.
