Movie Reviews of The Gingerdead Man
Movie Review: "EAT ME YOU PUNK B****"!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Oh man what can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said. I discovered it from a site called Crack and looked it up on Youtube because I had to see it to believe it. I'll try to explain the overall set up as best I can.
Let me see, we start out with the worse bank robber in the world who takes no money, but shoot people in this cafe. One of the 3 people in there Jeremy decides he ain't taking! This dude pulls out his knife and decides to give this robber a fight he'll never forget. He gets up and walks his way over to the robber and surprisingly doesn't get too far before he shot. MAN! I didn't see that coming! I had faith that Jeremy could kick some ass, but once again guns beat knives. Too bad. Next Jeremy's son is killed, but even killers have standards and decides to spare her (Sarah/Jeremy's daughter)...for some reason. The robber is caught, electrocuted, and then cremated, with his ashes sent to his mother. Skip ahead later and we find Sarah working in the family bakery with a boy named Brick. There's a knock on the door and Sarah answers it to find a box of gingerbread seasoning and the back of a retreating figure in a black robe. Not suspicions at all she assumes the person leaving this ONE box of gingerbread seasoning is the delivery man despite no papers having to be signed or anything. She and Brick proceed to prepare gingerbread mix. Brick somehow cuts his damn arm opening a box and instead of looking at the cut somewhere away from the dish their preparing, Brick hovers his bleeding arm over the bowl with the seasoning in it and blood drips into it without them seeing it. Somewhere a health inspector is crying. The oven malfunctions and out pops a killer cookie. You hear me right! We have killer dolls, killer animals, killer plants, and now kill pastries that throw out baking puns.
This is definitely a movie you have to not take seriously to enjoy. It actually made me hungry for some cake and cookie so it you smoke weed this is the movie for you. I think the makers were high on brownies when they decided to make a horror movie about a killer cookie. I'm waiting for Attack of the Killer Toulet now. Just like The Room this is definitely worth watching for the LOL's. Heck watch it to know it actually exist. All I have to say about the ending of the movie is "Got Milk".
Movie Review: Full Moon Full Busey Full B!
Summary: 4 Stars
This week we decided to give you our thoughts on The Gingerdead Man staring Gary Busey. This is the prototypical B movie ladies and gentlemen. It had it all! Awful acting, special effects that could have been topped by a third grade art class, ridiculous dialouge, and for an added bonus: rednecks!
Gary Busey plays a killer who kills all but one in the family who owns and opperates a diner in Anytown, U.S.A. The daughter who remains alive, now runs the place. She has since testified against Busey, who is executed and cremated. Now, Busey's mother is heartbroken, so she does what any good Mom would do: she dumps her son's ashes into the gingerbread dough at the diner in order to exact revenge. At this point, all she needs is a little blood to drip into the dough, and that's it, instant horror B! It's that easy, folks. Anyway, the blood is provided by the idiot boyfriend who pretends to be a wrestler. He gets cut while trying to give himself a sharpshooter.
It's here that Busey comes alive as the Gingerdead man and starts the body count rolling. A bright spot is that the Miz was among the first to go. So, he obviously is stopped. But, they leave this one open for a sequel. Sid can only hope that Full Moon will stay with the Celebrity Fit Club routine and get Screech to star in Bearded Gingerdead Man 2. Maybe the gingerdead man can come back as the keyboard player in Zack Attack. Just the fact that Sid considered this while watching the movie tells you how B it was.
Note an added star was added due to an accidental appearance by a stagehand hiding behind a ladder. Good work Full Moon! Just when we thought you disappeared off the face of the earth, you totally redeem yourself gaining a star below the one and only DEATH RING. So, once again, we definitely recommend The Gingerdead Man if you're in the mood for a good old-fashioned B-horror. A hands down recipient of the Sid the Elf seal of approval.
Movie Review: 10 inches of walking, talking, killing deliciousness!
Summary: 4 Stars
i've been waiting to see this one for a while since i saw it at sam goody. a movie about a killer gingerbread cookie staring gary busey! i had to see it. i knew it would be bad and it is really bad. all i'll say about the plot is a crazy criminal is executed and cremated and comes back as a gingerbread man to seek his vengance. thats as deep as the plot goes. the best thing about this movie is the gingerdead man himself. the doll is so hilarious and cheesy. the film makers couldnt have thought people would be scared. the doll is made of some cheap looking foam. the doll shoots a gun but he has no fingers. you can see someones finger pulling the trigger. as far as gary busey starring, he has about a minute and a half of screen time and about 20 lines of dialouge as the gingerdead man. the other actors arent anything special and you dont really care about the charectors. i was hoping more of them would die which brings up the only thing that really disapointed me. the gingerdead only kills 2 people [well 3 if you count the guy he posesses and 3 more as a human]. there were 3 people who he injured, but he didnt kill them or [with exception to the old lady] seriously injure them. one girl just gets covered in frosting and left in the freezer. the film is still enjoyable and anyone who likes so bad there good films will enjoy this.Movie Review: Run, Run Fast as You Can....
Summary: 4 Stars
Full Moon has done it again. They've turned out a formula movie that's worth watching, at least to B horror movie fans. The plot is simple- guy robs bakery killing the father and son owner, but lets the daughter live- the daughter testifies against the killer- killer gets executed- killer's deranged mother has his ashes mixed in with cookie dough at the offending bakery- possessed cookie goes on a killing spree.
The puppet work is fun to watch and some of the special effects at the end are amusing. The dialogue is deliciously campy, and the acting is just bad enough to be great. Of course, whoever wrote this never did any baking themselves, because there are a million plot holes around that issue, but that's just me nitpicking.
Over all, this is a fun movie. Don't go in expecting to be scared, or for the movie to be great. Just expect to have an hour's amusement and you'll be quite pleased with the result.
Recommended to B horror movie fans, and Full Moon fans, of course.
Movie Review: foul-mouthed and funny
Summary: 4 Stars
Silly and fun are the keywords here, and a movie like this can't be taken seriously. It's only about an hour long, but that's all you need. Gary Busey is a murderer who is resurrected as a gingerbread cookie. The formula is old, especially with Full Moon movies, but it's a formula I love and think is quite funny. If you don't laugh with delight when you see the Gingerdead Man in action, you don't have a sense of humor - and you should stay away from all of the fun Full Moon movies. The acting is quite good for such a cheesy movie, the lead girl is gorgeous, and the foul-mouthed Gingerdead Man doll is very well done. Just look at the DVD cover. Oh man, that says it all. Superb!
