!!This film features examples of:
* AscendedToCarnivorism: In a sense. The cat food made with human flesh turns domestic cats that are content with cat food very aggressive, to the point of driving them into tearing their owners apart.
* CatsAreMean: Apparently what ''really'' makes them mean is the taste of human flesh.
* CoversAlwaysLie: Though more of misleading in this case. The poster features a screaming, bikini-clad woman being shoved into a machine while still obviously fighting for her life. There are no live torsos grinded in the film proper, only corpses, as per the title (though a woman that does resemble her appears among the corpses).
* EvenEvilHasStandards: One of the partners in the corpse-grinding business is {{squick}}ed out by his partner's [[ILoveTheDead enthusiasm]] towards the bikini-clad corpse of a young woman.
* GoryDeadlyOverkillTitleOfFatalDeath: ''The Corpse Grinders''. Really drives the point home.
* HumanResources: Lotus Cat Food uses fresh corpses to make their product.
* ILoveTheDead: One of the partners in the corpse-grinding business is… a little excited when he discovers that one of the corpses is that of a bikini-clad young woman. [[EvenEvilHasStandards His partner calls him out on this.]]
* MayContainEvil: Lotus Cat Food's newest, most popular cat food turns out to involve human flesh and drives the cats that eat it to attack and kill their owners.
* MsFanservice: Pretty much every woman in the film who isn't the gravedigger's loony wife is a lovely young woman who struts their stuff and take their clothes off at least once or twice.
