Wonderfully offbeat film!

Absolutely amazing

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The Gingerdead Man: Directed by Charles Band and Written by William Butler and August White(Pseudonym for Domonic MuirThis was a suggestion by James Cowdrey but I'm not entirely sure it was a serious suggestion. This movie is called The Gingerdead Man and it features a bonkers Gary Busey voicing a sentient cookie trying to murder people. This was never supposed to be taken seriously. The actual gingerbread man is pretty well done and shot in a way to make it as convincing as it needs to be in this situation. This is an extremely short movie. It says it runs at 76 minutes but it has a good ten minutes of credits. It also has this super cheap royalty free casio keyboard music that runs through every single solitary minute of the movie. If it was used a little more sparingly, it would work better to add to the wacky, goofy mood this film is trying for. There is almost no gore and all the gags you think they would use they do albeit poorly. This comes from Charles Band, that great B movie video king who I enjoyed during the 90s. This has a few moments that are fun in that way but not enough. It's schmaltzy. The acting is abyssmal as to be expected. It's also not very funny. It's what you think it is.I give this movie a D.

Amazing. Truly thrilling. The Ginger dead man is possibly the best film to date. only 3 out of 10 stars??? You people are DELUSIONAL! 10/10 writing and characters and the best movie villain to date! 10/10 special effects. 10/10 story. Incredibly suspenseful. Who knew dollar bin movies could be so good? Though Ginger dead man 2 and 3 don't live up to the first, they are still incredible movies. Truly the most enthralling piece of art. Final score 10/10. Better than horror classics like Halloween and Elm street. An underrated classic. Ginger dead man effects 10/10. Blood effects 10/10. Also the acting was top-tier, these people deserve an Oscar!!!!!!!!!!rkhae fv;kh rwvbj

With a title like that, and the premise being a walking/talking/killing cookie, I think most viewers will picture this movie being a (black) comedy. And it could have worked - I thought that the original "Jack Frost" movie, about a killer snowman, worked. But in this case, NOTHING works. The movie is really cheap, looking like a backyard production made in the 1980s and shelved for twenty years without any restoration. There's also a minimalist feel, with barely enough props and scenery, all looking very unconvincing. Gary Busey just seems to be going through the motions, with the scene he actually appears in as well as voicing the killer cookie. The supporting cast comes across as even worse, if that's possible, not helped by a script that makes them the stupidest characters I've seen in a movie for a long time. And even though the movie barely lasts 60 minutes (not counting the s-l-o-w closing credits), it goes by at such a slow pace that it feels endless. This movie actually has spawned two sequels, making me conclude that it was even cheaper than I thought, since I can't see most people liking this movie.

Well, it wasn't ENTIRELY bad. As others have pointed out, the film itself (excluding titles and credits) is less than 60 minutes long. The titles are pretty standard, but the credits are more than ten minutes in length. Plus, they include everyone who even thought about the movie (including the shooting site police officer). So you don't have to suffer through too much actual movie.My favorite part is when the villain (no spoilers here!) shoots a revolver at the protagonists. I lost count of the shots fired rapidly without reloading, but (in an obvious wink to horror films in general) there at least twelve or thirteen of them. On the other hand, it's obvious that the film-makers have never worked with gingerbread dough, as they have no idea of the proper consistency or color.This film also must hold the record for the number of "Dutch angle" shots. If you ever want to explain to anyone what a "Dutch angle" is, just flip to any point in this movie.Busey is appropriately crazy, which is a treat. The extra features on this DVD are much better than the movie.Finally, and sadly, there's no nudity and very few people die. I would have awarded at least two more stars for some gratuitous nudity or violence.Not as bad as some might have you think. But it's still pretty bad.
