Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
qmtv Ok, this is not the worst movie ever made. At least I didn't have to fast forward through it. I knew it would be bad. Because it was part of an 8 movies for $5 set. And all the other movies sucked. The only way I made it through the end was because I was playing guitar while watching it. If it was a good movie I would have to stop playing and watch. So in that regard it was fine. It wasn't so horrible that I had to stop playing the guitar to press the fast forward button. There were a few seconds of decent scenes, like when the blond girl got the knife in the head. Busey was in the beginning and only voiced the rest of the movie. That would mean he can literally telephone his lines. And he did.The horror element is minimal. The comedy, not much. There was some kind of nonsense soap opera romance happening while these people were stuck in a bakery with a killer gingerbread man. So, that's it. Rating is an F. 1 star. Nothing to see here. Once all the movies in the dvd set have been seen I will destroy this set.
Seth_Rogue_One I didn't expect much with this one, I actually thought the premise sounded like it could be amusing... Especially with Gary Busey voicing the gingerbread man.But except for the first 4 minutes it was just boring and really lazily made in every aspect, the gingerdead man doesn't show up until 25 minutes in and it's a rubber sock puppet with someones hand in it moving it around that just looks lame, I'd prefer poor CGI than that tbh.The whole movie circulates inside and around the bakery where the gingerdead man was baked, most likely to keep the budget as low as possible and for a serial killing cookie he sure likes to take his sweet time to even attempt to get to killing leaving the other characters in the movie plenty of time to flirt with each other and discuss life in general while the movie is supposed to be the most exciting.It is pretty impressive how they managed to make it so dull though considering it's only 60 minutes long (if you exclude the credits).I would have considered giving it a 1 but I only give out 1's to movies that I really HATE and this is so utterly lackluster it can't even make me hate it.
Steve Pulaski The B in "B Movie" stands for Gary Busey in this film. He dominates in this film. If anything, the whole reason a price tag is on this film should be for Gary Busey. He is a great, creepy killer in this film. Even in cookie form. Who cares if the film is bad? Who cares if this film makes no sense? GARY BUSEY IS IN IT! Thats enough for me.This is a strange film, it was a movie I stared at in the video store wishing I could rent it, but no. I was never allowed to rent anything R or PG-13 at Family Video at the age of ten. I saw this, Uncle Sam, Santa's Slay, Jack Frost and it's sequel, and Banned & Exposed: Too Hot for Cable TV! looking me in the face, begging me to rent them. But I couldn't. But the covers were enough, I loved every cover of these films. They were a big tease, but the covers were very cool. With this one, I said "What the hell is this?" I couldn't imagine how this would work.The film starts at a diner where a killer named Millard Findlemeyer (Gary Busey) opens fire on the Leigh family and kills Jeremy (the brother), James (the father), and leaves Sarah (Robin Sydney) and the mother Betty (Maggie Blye). A year later, Sarah is working at a bakery and while making a Gingerbread man, an employee drips blood into the dough and while baking a power surge makes the baked good come to life with Millard Findlemeyer's soul possessed into it. It has an extreme Child's Play feel like no other movie and feels like almost another one in the series.The premise is up and down a lot. The film is only around seventy minutes, but even with the minimal requirement for a movie length, it struggles to keep the movie going. It sometimes drags on for the most simplest of things. I hate that, it's extremely annoying. Though The Gingerbread Man has comebacks and remarks almost exactly the same of ones like Freddy Krueger or Chucky would say. The comebacks/gags are corny and though sometimes amusing, throw off the "scare" level of the film.I also want to point out that shockingly there's a sequel to this film too. The Gingerdead Man 2: The Passion of the Crust was released in 2008. There will also be a third film entitled The Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver that was due for a release in 2009, but maybe coming out this year or 2011. I will try and find the sequel and do a review but after seeing how this film played out, though entertaining, still had various flaws, I'm in no hurry.Starring: Gary Busey, Robin Sydney, Ryan Locke, Alexia Aleman, Jonathan Chase, and Maggie Blye. Directed by: Charles Band.
Horrorible_Horror_Films I LOVED this movie! Don't get me wrong, 4/10 is a fair score, it doesn't deserve higher, but still, I loved this movie! And this movie is not terribly made - low-budget horror filmmakers should take note on the movies Full Moon releases, this is how you do it.The interesting thing is it has Gary Busey in it, which provides some star power. Then I started to wonder, how is Gary Busey a known actor? What do I know him from/what films he famous for? I couldn't think of an answer, and I'm too lazy to look here on IMDb, so I just don't care.Anyway, since he's completely totally nuts in real life, he fits his role here well. The actual 'Gingerdead man' running around, and killing people - sheer awesomeness!
