2/10

... Displays a fundamental misunderstanding of how gingerbread dough is made, but also begs the question… what if the guy didn’t accidentally, and recklessness bleed into the dough? The answer is, shut up, do you want to see a Gingerdead Man or not?

3/4

It's a fun and cheesy little time killer with a twisted villain that will likely spawn some fans...

What makes 'Gingerdead Man' so watchable is just how amazingly stupid it is.

3.5/5

To call a film like The Gingerdead Man a horror movie is doing it a disservice... it's really more of a comedy spoof of the genre itself.

"Evil Never Tasted So Good! Gary Busey is The Gingerdead Man!" - That's what you'll see if, for some ungodly reason, you happen to be holding the latest Charles Band DVD.

This is Charles Band and full moon. It's meant to be cheesy and low-budget entertainment.

Full Moons answer to the Childs Play franchise, this film is dumb cheesy fun. Gary Buseys performance as the titular character is what truly makes the film a cult classic.
