Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust (2008)

Too much of everything

Please don't spend money on this.

An Exercise In Nonsense

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Trying to complete their day's work, the cast and crew of a low- budget horror movie finds that the budget and crew problems are the least of their worries when the killer doll appears looking to transfer his soul into a new host and forces them to fight him off.This one here was quite the impressive and truly fun sequel. What really gives this one quite a lot to really enjoy here is the fact that it really goes overboard with the concept of the utterly-cheesy film-studio doing a new movie-shoot of their newest cheese-filled projects. Not only is the type of film being made look quite fun as the opening shoot showing the low-rent dolls materializing and the different cheesy effects coming into play with the whole conjuring up the supernatural feel here being the perfect start to this one generating the kind of start this one really needs, and that indeed comes to pass with the rest of the film as the different scenes showing them going around the different film-shoots around the studio come off as a wholly fantastic example of the cheesiness typical of the film. Getting backstage and going into the different encounters with the group during filming makes for some really enjoyable times here with the cheap, cheesy atmosphere finding itself improving the tone incredibly well and works as the rather fun doll appears and continues to spout the wisecracks here which really gives this one a fun atmosphere. That leads strongly into the film's rather goofy and silly stalking scenes which are quite fun and enjoyable as this one features some strong scenes of it appearing in the dressing room to off the worker there, an incredibly chilling sequence where it goes after the couple in the bathroom and the later scene of it gorily attacking the prop-master which is the film's goriest death and manages to really hold the best part of the film. Likewise, the big action-packed finale where there's the rather overblown special effects work that brings about the other dolls' resurrection and leads into the rather impressive final chapter which is highly enjoyable as it makes for the perfect action-packed, cheesy ending to this type of effort, and along with the fine effects work done here on the titular character gives this one the amount of positives to really make this one hold up. The one real flaw that holds this one back is the rather curious and unnecessary element here of featuring the twist involving the one main character late in the film which is really not that part of the film. It really didn't need to be here and really gives this one quite a disappointing ending with the way it turns everything around when it wasn't necessary to do that and could've worked fine the way it was. It's goofiness might be something that can hold it back for some, but on the whole it's not the biggest detriment to this one.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and sexual scenes.

This movie is sick! Not only the crappy acting and camera work it's also quite inappropriate and has the worst horror movie plot imaginable. All that happens is a bunch of people on a movie set that cuss about toilets and a girl that hits on filmmakers and brings in the deadly gingerbread man. Younger viewers will most likely be scarred for life by watching this creepy and disgusting "film." The only thing that makes this so-called movie great is the fact that it is so badly filmed that it is hilariously stupid. If you are looking for an ACTUAL scary horror movie this is not for you. It will only leave you nightmares of a stupid puppet that doesn't even know his lines. If you are looking for a "horror" movie that you want to cringe at the whole time than pick this one up!

I attended the screening for this bad boy and was pleasantly entertained. The movie took me back to a time in the 80's when there were great cult films like Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers and Nightmare Sisters. If any of the fans out there loved those type of cult classics you are going to love this gem. The make-up effects and the campy humor are to die for. The one liners are totally outrageous and the character building is truly refreshing. There are some twists and turns that surprise you in the end unlike the typical "saw it coming" movies. The "B" movie is back at it's finest. Get ready to roll through this puppy with shocking visuals, laughter and truthful implications that only a true low budget fan can appreciate. Don't miss it!

So campy and silly, making fun of itself in a sophisticated yet irreverent way. Lot's of laughs at the screening I attended. Good movie! The production values are up to date, especially considering this movie must have been done on a tight budget. I really liked the intro music, that was a fun song. Over all, a goofy movie that will probably be a real hit overseas. And might even become one of those cult classics here in the states. The writing was really superb. My favorite part, save the really stupidly funny puppets dancing around in that way only puppets can. How do these geniuses come up with this stuff? I mean really, it's so stupid and funny, and smart all at the same time. I guess it's a gift. Strange gifts are given sometimes and these film makers got a bonus share.
