From just reading the description, this sounded like a great time, but the execution is lacking. There are a few good gore gags and some creative camera angles/lighting effects, but it goes on too long and focuses on boring subplots instead of digging into the meat of the story.

4.8Plot summary
Outside the small, one-cop town of Penance, California, Auntie Lee bakes her popular meat pies with help from her four nubile nieces and the ranch's blood-simple handyman Larry. The source of the meat for the pies? Men who are passing through, lured to strange deaths by the nieces--Fawn, Coral, Sky, and Magnolia--who smile, show a little skin, and pretend to be playmates. Closing in on the trail of a missing man is New York private eye Harold Ivars; the town cop, Chief Koal, also finds Larry's behavior a bit suspicious. Will the cop and the dick bring Auntie Lee's vocation to a grinding halt?

Cheesy early-1990s horror comedy...
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.

Far Too Long
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.
