everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Dreadfully Boring

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Working at her family's bakery, an accident forces a woman to realize that her efforts to keep it afloat are to be put aside when a thought-dead serial killer returns as a rampaging cookie killing off those working with her and must try to stop the killer again.For the most part this one was quite decent and rather ordinary slasher effort. One of the better points here is the fact that this one's really quite funny and cheesy which really works nicely for the film which is what makes this one so much fun. The light tone that comes from the story and the cheesy set-up gives this the perfect light-hearted story which is then turned into the rather cheesy and silly atmosphere here that extends rather nicely to the rest of the film as it's action scenes are just too silly to take seriously. The way in which the killer is resurrected by the blood being dropped into the vat of dough and then being baked into the cookie itself is the start of this one's cheesiness as there's the oddball manner of it always coming up behind someone and taking them out in the back of the bakery or the manner of it attacking those around the bakery which are some of the greatest scenes in the film as these stalking scenes are quite fun. As well, the different manners of it confronting the group in the back-parts of the bakery in the end are just as much fun which gives this one quite a rather exciting final half which gets some really fun action to pump it up. Alongside the fine gore and make-up effects for the killer, these here are what really make for an enjoyable time over the film's few flaws. One of the main stumbling blocks here is the fact that there's really just so much about this one that sticks out about it's low-budget influences. This is mostly apparent in the rather shoddy, cheap-looking sets that are used here with this one, being especially prominent in the opening at the diner though it's really obvious with their bakery shop being used for the entirety of the film which is just so cheap-looking that it's hard to take this one seriously about the budgetary constraints. As well, that includes the film's utterly ludicrous plot line that really seems as though it's quite a cheesy effort with the concept of the killer coming to possess a cookie and then proceeding to stalk and torment her friends which is such a crazy idea that it's nearly impossible to take this seriously. Add onto that the fact of the wisecrack- quipping killer and it's somewhat cheesy and silly enough to really be somewhat irritating at times. The only other issue here comes from the fact that it's so short, barely clocking in at seventy minutes and then being forced to tack on an agonizingly slow ending screen-scroll for the credits to beef out the time even more which shows off even further how weak the overall plot is. These here are what hold this one back.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

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.

Gary Busey is known for being odd in general. From his uneven eyes to crazed-looking grin, it shouldn't surprise viewers that he would be cast in such a ridiculous movie. To be honest, this isn't even a feature length movie. Its running time is 70 minutes and 10 of them are end credits so it's more like a TV movie more than a feature film. But I digress, this horror film does show some ingenuity in various places but it also lacks focus at the plot.The title is self-explanatory. Gary Busey is a psychopath, Millard Findlemeyer. He goes on a rampage and kills the owner of a family business along with his son because they attempted to stop him, leaving the daughter, Sarah (Robin Sydney), wounded. Once Findlemeyer was arrested, he was sent to the electric chair and cremated. A couple years later, Sarah is struggling to keep the business afloat along with a new eatery across the street threatening to close the shop. Little does Sarah realize, Findlemeyer will be back,...as a gingerbread man. Yeah.Silly - yes. Preposterous - absolutely. Acceptable - to a point actually. The reason why this concept is acceptable is because voodoo plays apart of the story. It certainly does not play as strong or as creepy but look at Child's Play (1988)...a killer's soul is transferred to some nonliving object. It's not terrible, it's just not original. Here's what does work for this picture - the creature effects, Gary Busey and the music. First, Gary Busey is a fine choice to play this particular psychopath because well, it's Gary Busey. He's just a strange man playing a strange character, which seems to fit the bill well.The creature effects were also pleasantly well crafted, for its budget at least. The look of this killer gingerbread man looks like a rejected Muppet but still carries a little charm (thanks to Busey); even if the dough looks a lot like rubber. And to be frank, I'm glad they used a puppet, because using CGI would have made it that less enjoyable knowing I was watching something just pasted on screen instead of actually being filmed. Roger Ballenger's one time musical score wasn't the greatest but it did contain some rather goofy tunes, which I liked. And although it is a horror film, Ballenger's score is appropriate because this movie is goofy. Who can take a talking gingerbread man seriously no matter how deadly?But looking at everything else is where this movie just doesn't work. First and foremost, the plot lacks focus. Too many times the direction and point of view will shift between the protagonist (Sarah) and the gingerdead man, but it'll happen way too often. Even more surprising, is how little the villain is actually in this movie. Findlemeyer's screen time is far less than Sarah's. Instead, viewers will have subplots of drunken old ladies and forgotten birthdays thrown at their faces for no reason. These kinds of movies aren't made to be complex, so why bother? Viewers came to see the gingerdead man and that's what they should see. Sarah as the protagonist is okay but she doesn't do much to make herself stand out from any other actor there. Oh and let's not forget that one dumb person who says they're leaving several times but keeps returning. Ugh. However, the most shocking part of this whole movie is the violence. There is practically no gore at all. There really isn't. I would assume of this because of how little the killer was on screen. Again, I realize that this movie had a tiny budget and only Gary Busey as its star power but there are films out there that became successful with very little. Too bad it doesn't work as well as it should have. Maybe if Busey's character had more screen time, it would have been better.Gary Busey works as the crazy cookie because he IS a crazy cookie. That's about it though. The practical effects look efficiently used but it's only visible when the villain is on screen, which isn't often.

Many of us genre fans are familiar with the horror premise in which an evil character "survives" the electric chair and subsequently continues to terrorize our hero(es). (Think "Shocker", "The Horror Show", etc., here crossed with the "little killer" idea of movies like "Child's Play" and "Puppet Master"). But none of them put this outlandishly silly a spin on the premise. Yup, meet the cinema's first walking & talkie cookie man killer! Said gingerbread cookie used to be a guy, Millard Findlemeyer (now THERE'S a name for you), played by Gary Busey, who really is in his element. Millard massacred patrons at a diner, and the testimony of the sole survivor, Sarah Leigh (Robin Sydney) had put him away. Well, Millard's mom got her revenge, by mixing psycho son's ashes in with a gingerbread recipe, and when a bakery employee bleeds into the mix, that's what it takes to bring Millard back. Now the bakery employees, a sleazy competitor, and the sleaze's trampy daughter are fair game for the homicidal dessert. Got milk? More like got beer, because this is exactly the kind of thing one watches with friends, with alcohol at the ready, because no person in their right mind would ever take such a thing seriously, no matter how perfectly the actors maintain their poker faces. In fact, the lovely Ms. Sydney gives a performance that is a little too *good* for this sort of thing, emoting quite effectively in a scene where she pours her heart out. Veterans in the cast include Margaret Blye ("The Entity") and Larry Cedar ("Twilight Zone: The Movie"), but mostly the actors are no-names who give this utter nonsense truly game efforts, especially Sydney and Ryan Locke who plays Amos. Unfortunately, folks hoping for a reasonable body count, decent gore, and any sort of nudity will be disappointed, although there are some good gags, and the delicious little demon's witticisms as he mocks and kills victims aren't as much lame fun as this viewer would have liked. "Well, it ain't the Pillsbury Dough Boy!" The movie gets an extra point just for casting Busey in this insane pair of roles, but it's just not as uproariously so-bad-it's-good as I would have liked. Give it credit for not going on too long, though: if it weren't for a protracted end credits sequence, this would run BARELY over one hour. Six out of 10.
