Quotes
Professor Okembje: Every day we raze billions of trees to make wrappings for food that we discard with ignorance. The destruction of our own planet is sinisterly tied to the stuffing of our own obscene faces with barely edible slop. I have determined that our current behavior of unmitigated mastication is outmoded and corrupt. I shall bring eating into the 22nd century with my revolutionary food teleporter, which shall end famine and waste forever!

FILLER! dishes up deadly humor!

FILLER! is a smart and snarky satire on the B movie classic. Deranged mad scientist...check. Ingenious murder machine...check. Sharp-tongued detectives without a clue...check. Exotic locales...check. Bizarre assortment of props...check. Thespians of varying quality...check. Unbelieavable production quality...double check. Surely, no expense was spared to bring FILLER! to film. If you like absurd films and watch them with low expectations, you will really enjoy FILLER! It doesn't take itself seriously and neither should the viewer. Beyond its facade of a quirky spoof it actually has a deeper message about the consequences of waste and hubris. The acting is great and the lines are even better. How can a film be bad when one character says: "Judging from my autopsy, the killer and or killers need to have access to the following items: a food teleporter and food."?
