... 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? Go to Full Review

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

What makes 'Gingerdead Man' so watchable is just how amazingly stupid it is. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Oaklee D @ODie63 Feb 3 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.

See more SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch 08/27/2024 "The Gingerbread Man," a horror movie from 2005, heavily relied on CGI, which, for the time, appeared quite amateurish and laughable on screen. The film's storyline, plot, writing, and acting were all subpar, resulting in a viewing experience that was simply atrocious. Horror movies are typically known for being either cheesy or genuinely terrifying, but this movie failed to achieve either. Instead of evoking fear or suspense, it left me bored and even chuckling at its shortcomings, making me more inclined to fall asleep than feel any real sense of horror. In attempting to inject new life into the horror genre, "The Gingerbread Man" fell short, showcasing a lack of readiness to tackle the complexities of horror filmmaking. Rather than delivering genuine scares, the film seemed to prioritize eliciting quick reactions, ultimately missing the mark in creating a truly engaging horror experience.
