The film opens at "The Institute for Study of Homicidal Baked Goods." Here our villain is freed. He escapes in a time machine to 1976. The film spoofs, "Carrie", "Silence of the Lambs", and "Porkey's." It had some good characters, but seemed mostly like an opportunity wasted. When the film wasn't being a spoof it was lame. Guide: F-word. Sex. Brief nudity.

Having never even heard of this movie series, this movies was suggested to me on Netflix. When I first saw it, I passed it by thinking it would be ridiculous. I decided to try it, and guess what...it is ridiculous...in a great way! I don't plan to write much, but I will say that if you like campy movies, you will love this one. I honestly think those folks who review it badly do not appreciate or understand camp. Here's the first sentence from Wikipedia describing camp: "Camp is an aesthetic sensibility that regards something as appealing or humorous because of its ridiculousness to the viewer."It seems like a bad movie, but everyone involved in it knows it is larger than life. I read the actors resumes, and they are legit actors; they've done some impressive work. Having seen this movie makes me want to see them all. So I shall.

This film shocked me. I am usually criticizing Bill Butler for his awful directing, but this may just be his best film... despite being a low budget Full Moon picture, and the third in a series, it was legitimately funny and a well-made film. (Unlike "Evil Bong 3", which is a waste of time.) Without Gary Busey, you need a good voice to be the homicidal gingerbread man. John Carl Buechler? Good choice. We also have Robin Sydney here (in a very small role) and some great parodies of "Silence of the Lambs" and "Carrie".I will not say this is a "great" film, but it is a fun film. I enjoyed it more than I expected, and I was not even drunk. It looks like a part four may be coming sooner or later, but that might not be the worst thing if done right...

Gingerdead Man III delivers the B movie goods. Combine the following movies:Carrie Car Wash Saturday Night Fever Child's Play Puppemaster Silence of the LambsAdd one part camp, one part horror, and one part delicious B-Movie fun. Now you have the proper recipe for a killer cookie movie.Director William Butler has assembled an instant cult classic. The casting is spot-on, as well as the 1970s sensibilities. Great roller skating, great good old fashioned drive-in fun. The cast is great. Loved Muffy Bolding. Hilariously perfect in this bizarro 1970s alternate universe. Look for cameos from other well known Fullmoon favorites including one Robin Sydney.Put on your leisure suit, grab a bottle of your favorite alcoholic refreshment, turn down the lights, snap on the lava lamp, flick on the black light, and put in the DVD.
