Potent.

Some endearing performances and a few Chucky-esque one-liners push this a little closer to the realm of watchability, but even by the low horror standards of characters reacting with a minimum of common sense to pad out the run time, "The Gingerdead Man" is afflicted with an especially unique stupidity. That said, Full Moon ingenue Robin Sydney (who was also great in the much more straight-faced "The Lost") is a very likable heroine. Also, it appears that Gary Busey only recorded some of the titular character's lines, as the intonation seems to fluctuate at various points.

Still underrated. Still chilling as hell. And still better than HALLOWEEN by leaps and bounds. And Margot Kidder gives possibly her best performance ever.

Retire already, Wes.
