Movie Reviews of The Gingerdead Man
Movie Review: One of the top 10 all time worst movies ever made
Summary: 4 Stars
I went into this movie knowing what a piece it would be, it's kinda my thing to want to watch terrible movies. Knowing what studio was behind this disasterpiece, it could never fail to disapoint. The 1 hour runtime itself is laughable, throw in an unbelievable plot and some really bad acting and you know you've got a real gem. The fact that Gary Busey is in it really just tops it off. If you ever liked watching drive in horror movies like Silent Night Deadly Night, Critters, or Trancers...you will have to check this turd out.Movie Review: GOT MILK?
Summary: 4 Stars
This has to be pans down the funniest movie ever made about a killer gingerbread cookie. The acting is over-baked(Busey) The plot is under-mixed and kinda crumb-y but the movie is so endearingly day-old baked goods it's worth a view and when the only character with half a brain kills the 'cookie' by eating its' head and exclaims "Got Milk" I completely lost it. What's next--"Attack of the Killer Pie Plates"? I'll rent it....Movie Review: It Is What You Would Expect
Summary: 4 Stars
GingerDead Man Is A Good B-Movie. That Said, It Is Summed Up Easily, Watch Childs Play 3 Now Trade Chucky With A Cookie.
It Is Short Lived, But If Your Into These Type Movies (Killer Doll/Puppet) It Is Definitely A Buy. And I Have To Give It To Busey He Is Convincing as psychopath (In The 4-Minutes He Acts)
So If Your Even A Little Curious And You Like B-Movies Like This, Give It A Chance.
Movie Review: BUSEY SAVES THIS
Summary: 3 Stars
THE GINGERDEAD MAN
I am a huge B movie fan and a fan of Charles Band and his Full Moon Pictures love the low budget style they bring. This one is one of those that you have to go into this knowing what you are getting and accept it. Gary Busey is indeed the Gingerdead Man; yes a gingerbread cookie with a killer attitude. This is absolutely not a classic and is absolutely pure low budget greatness, I love it. Plus I like the fact that the film is set in Waco Texas which is like little over an hour away from me.
The Leigh family is killed in a robbery by a madman played by Busey except the little girl of the family. She sends him to jail with her testimony at court and he eventually goes to the chair. His mother says she will get revenge and after receives her son's ashes her plan takes place. She takes them to the bakery that Sarah Leigh owns and works at and gets it mixed into the gingerbread mix. Once the cookies are cut [this one in particular is bigger for some reason] and baked the fun begins as does the killing.
Let me say from jump that the special effects for this film are as funny as the idea of this movie. The Gingerdead man looks cool and Busey is absolutely brilliant as the cookie, the writing favors him a lot. Writers August White and William Butler came up with a crazy idea some horrible dialogue and some funny one liners for the baked good. Charles Band is a producer and director for this one and while nowhere near earlier classics it is kinda funny.
As for acting every one other Busey and his voice over and lead Robin Sydney need some work, some pretty bad stuff. Our lead shows that she can carry herself for the entire film but that is about it, also that one guy she hooks up seems like he is older than the character he plays. But overall the deaths are ok but are really funny because of how bad the film kinda is. I thought this film was funny and did not regret buying it, in fact part 2 [passion of the crust] here I come.
Movie Review: Gary Busey in his best role yet; a bakery item
Summary: 3 Stars
In 1989 the world was intorduced to Charles Bands' super low budget horror company know as Full Moon Productions. The company became popular off of it's cult favored Puppet Master in 1989 and has been pumping out a variety of a films over the years. They all tend to be extremely low budget but that's really their claim to fame. The company doesn't try to be something it's not and that's why I enjoy their films. Yes the acting, special effects, and storylines are really bad. But they are really fun to watch in that so good it's bad way. The Gingerdeadman stays on the border of watchable and promises to provide some laughs if nothing else. Hey they even got Gary Busey to show up straight from his celebrity rehab session. However after a couple days of shooting he probably checked back in for an extended stay.
We start off with crazed killer Millard Findlemeyer (Gary Busey) after he wipes out a family at a diner except for one girl. This girl winds up sending him away to be charged up by the electric chair and somehow his remains get into a box of gingerbread batter. This batter is then delivered to the bakery she works at and the laughs insue. A drop of blood winds up going in the batter forcing the spirit of Millard to come to life as a gingerbread man. For a 2 ft bakery item this is one tough cookie. It is just hilarious to watch these terrible actors running around as if there is no script to be found trying to hide from the wrath of the Gingerdead man.
The only way possible to enjoy this movie is if you're a huge fan of extreme low grade b horror. In no way is The Gingerdead Man a good movie for the serious watcher. It's really geared towards those who are looking to get a good laugh, not a scare. For those people who have any question if Gary Busey has completely lost it all you have to do is pop this one in. You will certainly have your answer.
