Auntie Lee's Meat Pies

Oddly enough, with my admiration and fascination with horror movies, then I have actually never even heard about this 1992 horror comedy titled "Auntie Lee's Meat Pies". Not before now in 2021, as I stumbled upon the movie by random chance.

And seeing that the movie had Karen Black on the cast list, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch "Auntie Lee's Meat Pies". Then I noticed that the movie also had Pat Morita and Michael Berryman on the cast list, then of course things became even more interesting.

Let me just say that "Auntie Lee's Meat Pies" was an enjoyable movie. Writers Joseph F. Robertson and Gerald Stein definitely managed to put together a good storyline. Sure, this was archetypical early 1990s stuff and it showed in every way, but that was part of what made "Auntie Lee's Meat Pies" so fun to watch. It was as cheesy as it was fun.

"Auntie Lee's Meat Pies" is not a movie that takes itself too serious, hence the comedy aspect to it. And while the comedy is subtle, it is definitely the type of dark and twisted humor that appealed to me, so I enjoyed what the writers did with the movie.

If you haven't already seen "Auntie Lee's Meat Pies", then I suggest you do so, should you have the opportunity. I was genuinely entertained by director Joseph F. Robertson's movie.

My rating of "Auntie Lee's Meat Pies" lands on a six out of ten stars.

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!

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.

A movie starring Karen Black as a madwoman who lures unsuspecting men to their doom with her stable of young girls and then turns them into meat pies should be a lot more fun than this movie is. It's really unfocused with a lot of padding and there are really only a few gore moments that stand out. Mostly a bore.

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.
