Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust

Yeah, the title doesn't match. This is Full Moon. Don't expect too much. That place has problems.
The killer cookie is back, and this time he's stalking the idiots that populate a run-down B-movie studio. Except this time he's not out for revenge, but instead intends to transfer his soul into a human body with the help of a evil book and a few human sacrifices. Oh, and there's a robot with working lasers. Because of course a cheap horror film studio would have that lying around.
Well, it took them a couple years and another film, but Full Moon and Charles Band seem to have finally figured out that the premise of the killer cookie was hella stupid, and instead of trying continue the serious tone of the first film, the better option would be to just run with and embrace the stupid. The movie is essentially Full Moon jumping fully on the self-referential self-awareness bandwagon. The result is 82 minutes of Full Moon and Charles Band making fun of themselves using a wise-cracking, murderous cookie. It ends up being more entertaining than it deserves, and thus 10x better than the first film. Still not good, mind you. But much more entertaining.

An agent is on the trail of a ruthless serial killer, and brags that he's close to catching him. But the killer is one step ahead of the agent and quickly punishes him for his bravado by killing the agent's friend and his girlfriend. The killer is eventually killed, but agent is so distraught with grief that it's ruining his life. So his friend checks the agent into a remote rehab facility in the middle of nowhere that's specially catered to helping cops. But, - Surprise Surprise - , the killer isn't as dead as people thought, and he's back to add another heaping dose of torment to the agent.
I was looking for some winter themed movies, or at least some snow themed ones, and ran across this little thriller that Universal apparently hated so much that they abandoned the rights to it and like to pretend it doesn't exist. Quite honestly, I don't think it's that bad. In fact, I actually quite liked it despite it's flaws. Horribly predictable? Sure. Wants you to suspend your disbelief with some of the questionably logical actions the killer is able to pull of. Yup. Inexplicably ignores Stallone, the film's main character, about midway through the film until he's needed again in the last twenty minutes? Um...yeah. That's a bold choice there, movie, but still not a total deal breaker. Though I'm beginning to see why the studio may have had some issues with it. Still, I fount it to be a very pretty looking, nice, light thriller film if you're the type who can turn your brain off while watching movies. It's free on Tubi if you want to give it a watch.
