Ginger-Dead on Arrival
8 June 2022
The Gingerdead Man is back once again! This time, he's in jail (insert terrible Silence of the Lambs parody here), he manages to break out, only to conveniently find a time machine to take him back to a 70s skating rink (cue terrible Carrie parody here). And those aren't even spoilers; that's the very beginning of the movie. With another terrible cover/parody of Bad Reputation to add cringe to the crap.

Gingerdead Man 1 was mediocre, offering little of value or interest to the viewer. Gingerdead Man 2 was a massive improvement, honing in on the comedy with jokes that worked well. Gingerdead Man 3 undoes everything that happened between the first two. This is a shallow shell of a franchise that wasn't all that much to begin with.

The humour of this film falls completely flat. This is the Leprechaun: Origins or Halloween: Resurrection of the series; it's just terrible. The jokes aren't funny, the Gingerdead Man isn't charismatic in the slightest, and the movie fails to maintain anything of interest. For the longest film of the trilogy (albeit not by much), it's by far the weakest and the biggest disappointment as a follow-up to the second one, which was just so much fun.

Consensus: If you watch one Gingerdead film in your entire life, watch PASSION OF THE CRUST. Give this one a big, fat, triple-sugar-dipped SKIP. Don't give this stale cookie your time.
