Released in 2008, this sequel to the cult classic The Gingerdead Man (2005), sees this follow up in a different tone and atmospheric setting. With a different director (Charles Band has seemingly abandoned the film), this film is more of a traditional horror slasher film with more gore and more violent kills
The original Gingerdead Man wasn't a good movie. Although it had elements that were barely passable, it had a certain fun, silly and cheesy aspect. The acting wasn't the greatest, the special effects were cheap and the villain was wasted. Arguably speaking, the only main attraction was to see Gary Busey act as a character and voice the beloved Gingerdead Man.
The plot of this film is entirely generic and gets boring quick. Surrounded with the Gingerdead Man coming back to life killing members of a film crew on a supposedly movie set. The lead characters were bland and not likeable.
The acting was subpar, not exactly convincing and borderline cringe (mainly the character of Polly). The new actor voicing the Gingerdead Man voice just isn't as great as Gary Busey's.
The subtitle "Passion of the Crust" refers to the finale where the Gingerdead Man is pinned across a large wooden cross as a religious symbolism.
Overall this film isn't great, comes across as awkward, unfunny and doesn't have the same silly cheese factor as the original.
