Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust (2008) Reviews

So yeah I was fairly amused with part one and decided to continue this to see where it would go. Silvia St. Croix (which is actually William Butler) is only known for directing this and the third part. Muffy Bolding is only writer known for this and the third part with no other films. William Butler returns as a writer here. Aaron Strongoni joins the writing crew after being a co-writer for the terrible TV movie sequels of the Return of the Living Dead series. The opening for this is a silly Christmas style narration with a recap of the first movie. It's interesting that a few characters are played by mostly behind the scenes people. The opening sequence while visually only slightly better has a more entertaining song with it. It takes a bit too long at nearly seven minutes in to finally get to some new footage. I'm waiting to see how long it will take for them to reveal that this is just a terrible film within the film. That looks way too realistic yuck. The make up here once again reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's definitely a crappy version of Puppet Master as well as Child's Play of course. Michelle Bauer hasn't aged very well. The production value looks way better here and yet the entertainment seems to have gone down majorly. It's like they didn't care that they showed the recap because there is absolutely nothing revealing how The Gingerdead Man came back to life. Okay that scene was goofy as hell but enjoyable. So far it's definitely on a path to being gorier than the first one. Oh gosh a random romance gets thrown in there. Oh my god that was just too much. That's just messed up. At least the kills are much better here than the first one. Okay this is getting super corny! Unfortunately it's not the good kind nor anywhere near as fun as the first one. I swear that gun clicked and nobody reacted to it. So cutting your hand is worse than blowing yourself apparently. I didn't see that coming. Oh Tommy with the lines. That is pretty disturbing. Are you kidding? I swear nobody uses their brain here. At least the ending made sense for a sequel. Really the only thing this one has is a few attractive women, well known horror people making cameos, and decent kills. Other than that this is pretty freaking awful. I think Tommy is probably the only character despite how ridiculous he comes off. The one thing I can say positive is that this movie seems to know how awful it is. Still I didn't much care for it.

The Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the crust was written by Muffy Bolding and directed by Silvia St. Croix, released in 2008.
This movie easily made it in my best worst movies ever list. It’s a sequel, clearly, and thankfully the first five minutes of it were a synopsis of it’s original, making it so that I did not need to go through and watch it.
The film is about a man (Gary Busey…mhhhm) who after being cremated, is accidentally baked into a gingerbread man. Twice. He is then delivered to a horror movie set and starts his weird little killing spree within.
This film is blessed with true characters:
• A horny ex-scream queen with lopsided breast implants
• An angry homicidal blogger disguised as a cancer ridden mentally handicapped child
• A pompous failing indie film director
• A homosexual make-up artist who used to be a jazz dancer
I believe that may be all that’s worth mentioning.
While the premise is silly and the acting is terrible, I take some comfort in knowing that the makers of this film are quite aware of their atrocity. It’s a movie within a movie, with the base movie being about how terrible movies shouldn’t be made. With me so far? The movie they’re filming is filled with animatronic creatures from beyond which include shit for brains: a dancing baby with poo on his head, a monster dildo with angry eyes and hair and the rest aren’t worth mentioning.
The gingerdead man has his fill on cleaning out the studio until in the final scene, where this guy and this girl are tied to a prop and getting ready to be gutted, the little satanic robots come to life and crucify the little cookie. That’s right, the possessed dildo nails a cookie to a cross, complete with a crown of thorns and everything. The most laugh worthy moment comes when after the cookie is good and dead, the boy tied to the prop simply slips his arm from under his chains and starts groping the poor girl. Why, sir, did you not untie yourself a half hour ago and spare me those lost minutes?
I have to say that I adored this movie simply because a dildo nailed a demonic cookie to a cross. I mean really, how can you hate on that? There’s yet another sequel coming out in the coming year, and I dread looking forward to it.
