Microwave Massacre with Guru, the Mad Monk
A Shockproof Double Feature

To start the new year in an appropriately silly manner, join us for a double serving of some of the worst in audiovisual trash. Artistic incompetence meets creative incontinence in two films battling for the title of Worst Horror Film of All Times. See the insane Microwave Massacre and the inane Guru, the Mad Monk, but only with the signature Czech dubbing from the Shockproof Film Festival.

Microwave Massacre

Microwave Massacre is a slapstick gorefest like no other. The film stars legendary stand-up comedian Jackie Vernon as Donald, a disgruntled construction worker whose wife’s predilection for haute cuisine drives him to cannibalism. Eschewing all notions of good taste, Wayne Berwick’s Microwave Massacre is a deliciously depraved exercise in political incorrectness that has gone on to gain a cult following thanks to a characteristically deadpan performance from Vernon. Rising up from the ashes of VHS, this unique horror-comedy has been newly restored for the first time ever. Vegetarians need not apply! Screening with Czech dubbing featuring the crew of The Shockproof Film Festival.

Guru, the Mad Monk

A blatant middle finger to humanity, Guru, the Mad Monk is a 56-minute blast of prime horror dementia from legendary queer filmmaker Andy Milligan. The Church Of Mortavia needs money. Naturally, crazed Father Guru practices the art of supplying dead bodies to medical students in exchange for payment. When he’s not sticking needles in the eyes of his parish members, Guru schemes with a vampire named Madame Olga, abuses a hunchback servant, and derails the lives of lovebirds Carl and Nadja. Filled with Milligan’s patented blend of DIY costumes, ancient NYC locales, and schizophrenic photography, Guru is a great example of ingenuity, necessity, and a genuine seething hatred of mankind joining forces to birth a unique exploitation gem. Screening with Czech dubbing featuring the crew of The Shockproof Film Festival.
