AUNTIE LEE’S MEAT PIES (1992) — Friday Night WTF! — $5
September 18 : 9:00 pm – 10:45 pm
Friday Night WTF screenings are cheap, weird, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night.
“It’s schlock of course, but it’s great schlock… super entertaining (and pretty raunchy at times too).” – lou (rhymes with wow!), Letterboxd
Auntie Lee and her quartet of voluptuous “nieces” are known for making the tastiest meat pies around, all from Auntie’s top secret recipe which calls for a most unusual type of meat: human. In order to acquire the juiciest flesh, the girls employ their lusty charms, luring unsuspecting male strangers into a carnal—and deadly—trap, in which they’re chopped, quartered, and minced. Taking a simple premise and turning it into an increasingly bloody and hallucinogenic nightmare, Joseph F. Robertson’s Auntie Lee’s Meat Pies heaps on gruesome kills with a healthy side of pitch-black humor. Graced with a cast as strange as the film itself, including The Karate Kid‘s Pat Morita as a chilled-out sheriff, The Hills Have Eyes‘ Michael Berryman as simple-minded helper, and the legendary Karen Black as the Satan-worshipping meat pie maker Auntie Lee, this one has all the rights ingredients for a Friday Night WTF classic.
