- Kevin WardJuly 5, 2025This definitely falls into the so bad it’s good category of films. Just how much you love bad films will obviously go a long way to determining how much you enjoy this one. Gary Busey is weird as ever in his brief on screen appearance but provides the voice of Gingy throughout as his serial-killing, Millard Findlemeyer’s soul has been baked into the body of a Gingerbread Man. It’s all deliciously nonsensical. He’s been executed and his ashes somehow made it’s way to this bakery in place of grandma’s gingerbread seasoning. (If that’s true doesn’t that mean there’s actually no ginger in this gingerbread man? Ashbread man?) In any case, the Findlemeyer reincarnate is out for revenge on the witness that put him away. The gingy effects are super campy but it’s really fun when he gets to the slashing. He tallies quite a few slashes but I was a bit disappointed in his actual body count. He leaves quite a few victims that don’t ultimately succumb to their wounds. Even still, it’s ridiculous fun.
