A deliberately absurd horror-comedy that mines dark humor from the incongruity of a killer's soul trapped in a cute gingerbread puppet.

An evil yet adorable Gingerbread man comes to life with the soul of a convicted killer, and this real life cookie monster wreaks havoc on the girl who sent the killer to the electric chair.
