Movie Reviews of The Gingerdead Man
Movie Review: 1.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 2 Stars
The Bottom Line:
A truly terrible horror movie which features "walk-in ovens," a convoluted plot, ridiculous villain and a running length that feels long at 60 minutes, The Gingerdead Man is only spared a 1-star rating due to camp value.

Summary: 1 Stars
First, under any possible metric this is not a movie. This is a ONE HOUR re-hash of Child's Play done with A gingerbread man. You heard me... 1 HOUR. and 7 minutes of it is beginning and ending credits. Even as a derivative work this falls woefully short of being entertainment. The plot resembles swiss cheese that's been hit with a 12 guage shot gun. Gary Busey, who must still be suffering from being on his "celebrity fat farm" show and grappling with alcohol and/or substance abuse, provides all of 3 minutes screen time and the incessant "chucky like" audio of the ginger bread man to this garbage. The plot is almost identical to Child's Play. A killer dies and gets re-animated vis a vis an improbable inanimate object. (in this case a gingerbread man, and yes they make a pillsbury dough boy joke in this god awful waste of celluloid) The acting is spotty all around from the cast. (Snotty rich blonde girlfriend, unworthy for me to remember the name, is sooo bad at her role I actually wanted to throw a brick at my TV) Gary gets points for acting crazy... but is it really acting? The filmmakers make sure to add plenty of nubile 20 something eye candy (for both guys and girls) by making sure all the main characters are in skin tight clothes. If you want a combination slash/flasher flick, look elsewhere... there's zero nudity. Let's get down to the goods. It's short. VERY short. It's a giant retarded episode of "Tales from the Darkside". The bads: just about everything else, the plot, the dialogue, the plot, the crappy special effects, did I mention the plot? *ugh* Folks, I write my thoughts after watching stuff like this to complete my penance for something, ANYTHING I have EVER done wrong. Karma out of whack? Watch this, it will atone for most any wrongs you may have committed.Movie Review: Cookie Cutter

WARNING possible spoilers ahead, and bad news for fans of Full Moon movies from the 90's...
Another lame movie from the newly resurrected Charles Band and Full Moon, this is basically just CHILD'S PLAY with a cookie instead of a doll. Gary Busey overacts for the entire 10 minutes that he's actually in the film as a grimacing, murdering maniac who returns from beyond the grave to possess a gingerbread man.
From that moment on, the story revolves around the owners of a bakery trying to escape from the bakery while the gingerbusey tries to kill them while making lame Freddy Kreuger one-liners. This is almost bad enough to be enjoyable if you watch it after drinking a bottle of whiskey, but then chances are it would just put you to sleep.
I've said it before in my reviews Full Moon's other recent flops like DOLL GRAVEYARD and DECADENT EVIL, but it bears repeating. Band should be banned from making any more horror films. The really sad part is that I used to like Full Moon movies. They were just bad enough to be enjoyable, and I have quite a few of the Full Moon movies from the 90's sitting on the shelf with my Troma flicks. But these recent movies are poor and shoddy in comparison, and they lack the humor and campiness that the early Full Moon flicks had. These recent ones aren't worth the time it takes to watch them, much less review them.
Movie Review: Let this be a warning...
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is so bad that it's BAD. This movie is beyond being so bad that it's good. It's just terrible. All the one-liners fall flat. There's no good horror sequences, because it's pretty clear there's no budget. It looks like it was shot on digital video by a freshman film student at a junior college. (every now and then the DP tilts the camera angle, like THAT's supposed to make it creative and edgy). The acting is horrible, but you can't really blame the actors. The script is pretty pathetic. (For some reason they can't leave the bakery, even though they actually do several times). It's a good idea for a B horror movie, and that's why I rented it, but it's only 71 minutes long and focuses on this stupid love story instead of the fact that there's a COOKIE KILLING PEOPLE!!! See, COOKIE KILLING PEOPLE = exciting. STUPID LOVE STORY ON DIGITAL VIDEO WITH A HORRIBLE SCRIPT = not interesting. THe only reason I made it through the whole thing is because it's only 71 minutes long.
So, let's recap: Forget about this movie. It looks interesting and funny, but it's not. I love B horror movies, and I can't rate this one low enough. And don't let the Gary Busey gimmick entice you. He's only in ONE scene, and then it's just a few voiceover lines for the cookie. HORRIBLE movie. F-.
