The Corpse Grinders [1971]

After having to tell Adam that we literally already watched Run Like Hell a month ago (yes, that's how unmemorable it was), we turned to this film, The Corpse Grinders, not a black metal band and really not very metal at all.

The plot is very simple: a cat food company is paying a gravedigger with a mentally ill wife and some really weird morticians as part of a scheme to get dead bodies that can be ground up for cat food. The gravedigger provides the bodies and the morticians embalm them with some kind of pork-flavored fluid to make them extra tasty. This cat food is causing cats everywhere to go crazy and murder their humans since they now know the joys of the manflesh. There's a doctor and nurse duo who figure this out and try to stop them. 

At only an hour and 15 minutes this movie is just the right length to not be too long and to not feel too long. It's not painful, it's just simplistic. Technically it's fairly competent and the acting is kind of bad in a somewhat funny but not overly hilarious way. It's not a bad experience, but it's not one I would insist on.
