Horror Exploitation usually has a limited budget, so the filmmakers must make do with outrageous dialogue and over-the-top situations. These pictures hit hard and fast in the realm of the Russ Meyer seminal classic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965), the early work of Herschell Gordon Lewis and many others. Subtlety is not a mark in this style be it set in a Women’s Prison, a jungle, a small town, an island or simply a last house on the left. Toss in this modern entry into that cesspool of guilty pleasure and you have the Australian film My Cherry Pie (2021). This film is not a reference to the 1990 song Cherry Pie by American glam metal band Warrant although both were odd genre homages to eras that were changing.
Writer / Director Addison Health and co-director Jasmine Jakupi have put together this rather unoriginal story of a trio of sleazy, drug-taking low-life criminals...

From the makers of The Viper’s Hex, Chocolate Strawberry Vanilla, and the producers of Skinamarink comes a new gory slice of retro horror, My Cherry Pie.
Fresh out of prison, Freddy (Sotiris Tzelios) hooks up with his partners in crime, Jack (Dylan Heath) and Green (Tim Jason Wicks). After a violent series of events, they are forced to flee the city and when their car breaks down, they find themselves stranded in the middle of “bum-fuck nowhere”. Befriended by a curious local, Edwin Crow (Glenn Maynard), who invites them back to the notorious old Pleasant Creek Hospital, where Crow dwells with shy young Cherry (Trudi Ranik). But there’s a shadowy, grotesque figure stalking the grounds, and soon enough the cocktail of illicit drugs and all that stranger danger will collide with wild and brutal results.

Filmmaking pair Addison Heath and Jasmine Jakupi are set to unleash another blood-spattered adventure in the form of crime/horror mash-up My Cherry Pie.
Billed as Chopper meets Friday the 13th V, the film stars Sotiris Tzelios, Dylan Heath and Tim Jason Wicks as three Melbourne criminals whose car breaks down as they attempt to flee the city, leading to an encounter with the ominous Crow Family.
What begins as a seemingly well-intentioned invite from the leader of the family (Glenn Maynard) soon unravels as the trio realise they face an evil beyond anything they have encountered in the underworld.
My Cherry Pie was written by Heath, who is producing alongside Jakupi, and Dylan Heath with support from Black Forest Films.
The micro-budget film, which was shot across two weeks between Melbourne and Stawell last November, is the sixth film Heath and Jakupi have collaborated on.
It comes after they...
