Ok, this is not the worst movie ever made. At least I didn't have to fast forward through it. I knew it would be bad. Because it was part of an 8 movies for $5 set. And all the other movies sucked. The only way I made it through the end was because I was playing guitar while watching it. If it was a good movie I would have to stop playing and watch. So in that regard it was fine. It wasn't so horrible that I had to stop playing the guitar to press the fast forward button. There were a few seconds of decent scenes, like when the blond girl got the knife in the head. Busey was in the beginning and only voiced the rest of the movie. That would mean he can literally telephone his lines. And he did.The horror element is minimal. The comedy, not much. There was some kind of nonsense soap opera romance happening while these people were stuck in a bakery with a killer gingerbread man. So, that's it. Rating is an F. 1 star. Nothing to see here. Once all the movies in the dvd set have been seen I will destroy this set.

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.

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.
