Review:
Is becoming a woman analogous, in some deep psychological way, to becoming a werewolf? Ginger is 16, edgy, tough, and, with her younger sister, into staging and photographing scenes of death. They've made a pact about dying together. In early October, on the night she has her first period, which is also the night of a full moon, a werewolf bites Ginger. Within a few days, some serious changes happen to her body and her temperament. Her sister Brigitte, 15, tries to find a cure with the help of Sam, a local doper. As Brigitte races against the clock, Halloween and another full moon approach, Ginger gets scarier , and it isn't just local dogs that begin to die.
This movie ROCKS a favorite of mine ;D!
Ginger Snaps, while in itself is a horror, has plenty of dramatic elements. The bond between the two sisters is shown tight in the beginning, and throughout the movie when it begins to loosen, we can truly feel the feelings of Brigitte as she watches Ginger change and as she does all that she can to save her sister. Emily Perkins (Brigitte) and Katherine Isabelle (Ginger) perfected their roles, and gave a lot of depth to their character, making the movie more enjoyable. The mood is set right in every scene, and there is never an off scene. It looks as if John Fawcett definitely knows how to set the mood. And I praise the special effects department of Ginger Snaps. The werewolf looked great! Im a hardcore fan of this movie I like it alot ;D.
T&A:None ,but atleast we get to see "Ginger" in her panties wagging her little tail ,Nice butt "Ginger."
