In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Eating Raoul (1982)
A black comedy by Paul Bartel.
A couple accidentally kill a man who is trying to force himself on the wife. They take his money and throw his body into the trash compactor. When they accidentally kill another man for the same reason, they decide to make this their business.
The plot and characters were good, but the style was very primitive. This may have just been the date of the film showing through. I'm rating it o.k. Although the picture is in black and white, the film was in color.
