Auntie Lee's Meat Pies

This film should have had everything going for it. It has a great cast, a cult look and some gorgeous actresses. It needed more Boobs, blood and body count. With a cast featuring the great Teri Wiegel, I expected a titillating watch. It's an okay film. Pat Morita really hams it up and Karen Black is always a joy to watch. It has all the makings of a cult classic but sadly falls short of that status. All in all, if you are bored on a Saturday afternoon you might put this on for some background noise and discover it to be your cup of tea. I think if it had bloodied kills and more boobage it would have achieved cult status.

What's sad is: Karen Black and Pat Morita can do good work. They didn't here. What's also sad is: the cannibalism food product motif had already been done ten years earlier in "Motel Hell," which was weirder and much more original. And the supposedly sultry sex scenes at the end are freakin' awful. I was young in the '90s and remember this style of cinematography, and I'm glad it was only a fad. Put simply: even if you like cheesy horror movies, don't waste your time.

The concept of Auntie Lee's Meat Pies is interesting and a cast of talented veterans like Karen Black, Pat Morita, and Michael Berryman do their best, but the script goes all over the place and a few subplots end up being entirely useless by the end of the film. A more fine tuned and straightforward script about a rock band falling prey to a group of cannibalistic temptresses would have been more interesting. Some of the visuals are colorful and the gore effects are decent, but there never seems to be a main character to pull for.

This is a crazy horror/comedy in the same vein as Motel Hell. This is not as well written or performed as Motel Hell, but I did enjoy it. Karen Black is a devil worshiper that has her house full of hot chicks lure and kill men and sell them to the community as her famous meat pies. This also has Michael Berryman and Pat Morita as well. This is a very macabre and extremely campy comedy that is as morbid as it is cheesy. Utilizing 80's stereotypes and a lot of T+A, Auntie Lee's Meat Pies is some great family entertainment. The film is hilarious and absolutely outrageous, but it does have a lot of scenes that don't make sense and could have been worked out a bit better in the script. Even with more than it's share of flaws, I did enjoy watching this. For the most part,the film is very tongue in cheek and embraces it's cheesyness. Auntie Lee's Meat Pies is the type of disjointed insanity that is probably best enjoyed with heavy duty pharmaceuticals.

I love horror movies! So, I was shocked to see this film was from 1993 and I had never heard of it! There's something about this movie that I really like. Only discovered it a month ago and I've watched it 3 times already! Yes, you can tell it's a low budget movie but I have to say, they made the most of what they had. Good actors, good script (although slopes off at times) and a genuinely enjoyable film.

Best part of the movie is how incredibly beautiful the nieces are! All four actresses were actually playboy models before signing on to do movies! Give this a go, trust me, you will not be disappointed!
