4.0 out of 5 stars Full Moon Full Busey Full B!, June 11, 2007

By

This review is from: GINGERDEADMAN (DVD)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars "EAT ME YOU PUNK B****"!!!, March 26, 2011

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 cookies so if 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".

3.0 out of 5 stars BUSEY SAVES THIS, December 14, 2009

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.
