6 | When the Lotus Cat Food Company finds itself in financial trouble, the owners decide to find a new, cheap source of meat -- the local graveyard. Only one problem -- soon cats develop a taste for human flesh, and kitties are now tearing out throats all over town. A veterinary doctor and his nurse become suspicious and begin to investigate. |

11 | !!This film features examples of: |
12 | * 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. |
13 | * CatsAreMean: Apparently what ''really'' makes them mean is the taste of human flesh. |
14 | * 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). |
15 | * DropDeadGorgeous: Among the corpses seen being used to make the Lotus cat food is the corpse of a young woman clad only in her underwear. It's eye-catching enough that one of the mooks running the operation [[ILoveTheDead is visibly excited at the sight of it]]. |
16 | * 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. |
17 | * GoryDeadlyOverkillTitleOfFatalDeath: ''The Corpse Grinders''. Really drives the point home. |
18 | * HumanResources: Lotus Cat Food uses fresh corpses to make their product. |
19 | * 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.]] |
20 | * 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. |
21 | * MsFanservice: Pretty much every woman in the film who isn't the gravedigger's loony wife is a lovely young woman who eventually ends up in some state of undress. |
