Plot: Kelvin (Kevan Moezzi) is the son of a famous movie maker, determined to carry on the family’s studio and keep making movies. The movies might not be award winners, but Kelvin rallies the troops and puts out all kinds of production fires, to make sure these b movies keep rolling out. The studio is currently filming multiple projects, but the main focus is on Tiny Terrors 9, the latest in the studio’s flagship franchise. As actors refuse to leave their trailers, special effects go haywire, and people demand a break from the shoot, Kelvin also has two new guests. Tommy (Joseph Porter) is a terminally ill guy whose last wish was to visit Kelvin’s studio, while the other guest is the murderous cookie himself, Gingerdead Man. Gingie needs to kill five people to prime the dark evils, then he can take control of a new host body and finally, be out of his insipid snack form once and for all. As he prowls the productions for fresh victims, will he succeed in his task or will the chaos of the shoots overwhelm his plans?

Entertainment Value: This might be a Gingerdead Man sequel, but he has a small role and the main focus is on the art of b movie magic. A clear spoof on Full Moon itself, as well as low rent genre filmmaking in general, this proves to be loaded with great little moments for horror fans. This includes a lot of familiar faces from both sides of the camera, such as Michelle Bauer, David DeCoteau, Greg Nicotero, and John Carl Buechler, an impressive lineup. I loved seeing the production talent in front of the camera here, even if it was just a brief glimpse. DeCoteau is hilarious in his role and sends himself up in royal fashion. I also thought Jacob Witkin was great as the seasoned actor who hates being forced into b movie roles. The behind the scenes vibe is well done and fun to watch, especially if you’re interested in that side of movies. The humor is hit and miss, but hits more often than not and again, the self aware approach ensures the movie knows it leans on puns and one liners. Gingerdead Man adds some good moments, but again, he is the secondary story for most of the movie here. If you’re into Full Moon, b movies, or low budget flicks in general, Gingerdead Man 2 is worth checking out, even if you hated the original.

No nakedness. A few scenes of bloodshed, including my personal favorite of a slasher attack on Michaelle Bauer and her young lover. Gingie is vicious in this scene and really shanks poor Michelle, then runs the blade through both for good measure. We also have a nice drooping eyeball, the dripping aftermath of a severed neck, and of course the finale with gun shot violence. The latter has both green and red blood, so bonus for the color variants, right? In the end, not a lot of blood to be found here, but a passable amount. Gingie has some nice lines as always and I loved the behind the scenes of a b movie approach, but not much memorable dialogue. The self deprecation humor is really effective here and a killer cookie is still pretty wild, but this doesn’t have that off the deep feel. If anything, this feels a little more grounded than most Full Moon movies, at least until the end, but hey, its fun.
