A darkly comedic 1980s B-movie that treats cannibalism as absurdist farce, balancing graphic subject matter with campy humor and low-budget charm.

Construction worker Donald is having a hard time getting anything good to eat since his wife has decided to only cook gourmet foods. That and her constant harping causes him to snap, so he whacks her. Somewhere in the confusion he comes up with a new use for the microwave oven, and begins to eat much better. Soon he's experimenting with different recipes. And different meats.
