This is How Movies Should Be Made

Best movie ever!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I just finished watching this very underrated gem. A good, solid horror/comedy flick with great acting from Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins. It's a werewolf picture that instead of steering away from most of the clichés, reinvents them. But it's more than a werewolf picture; it's a movie about a bond between two young sisters who are obsessed with gore and how far little sister is willing to go to save big sister. Ginger is attacked by a lycan on their drive home and immediately starts noticing physical changes. The funny thing is everyone else is blaming her changes on her period. At times it seemed like an episode of "Goosebumps" (crooked camera angles, some overacting, etc.), and not in a necessarily bad way. This is probably because it was the director, John Fawcett's first full length picture. But overall, it was a very entertaining and fun film that really makes you care about the characters - at least it did for me! And there are some genuinely creepy moments.

It is just beyond me why this abomination of a movie is so highly overrated. After enjoying Underworld and becoming a fan of films relating to vampires and werewolves, I am currently searching for good movies of these dark mythical creatures. Since I have watched plenty of vampire-themed movies, right now my main focus is the werewolves. So far I have enjoyed An American Werewolf in London, Dog Soldiers, and Werewolf: The Beast Among Us.I watched Ginger Snaps only because it was well received by critics and some viewers. Well, those who highly praise Ginger Snaps, how wrong they are!The werewolf is so fake and laughable. The story featuring 2 girls sounds like fun, and has great potential, but is a mess. The film is neither funny nor scary, just tedious and laughable.Ignore the good reviews and the awards it received, and stay away from this monstrosity, if you cherish your life and do not intend to waste 2 hours of your free time.

Ginger snaps. The title itself suggests that their is a girl name ginger who snaps, well every teenager do during adolescence, but ginger is not snapping because of that, well, not only because of that, and her sister Bridgette does not know how to handle this out of control situation with her sister. Ginger snap is really an interesting movie fresh story, or we can say original story because many have been made with similar concept since then. This film has some really spooky and some really creepy scenes, and in between those the writer managed to stuff some pretty cool jokes and funny moments. Ginger snap is really a very thriller horror with an element of dark comedy. I would recommend it to someone who is new to werewolves and lycanthropes as a concept in a movie.

On the surface, "Ginger Snaps" is a wonderful addition to the werewolf sub- genre that is rarely toyed with. Dig deeper and you find commentary on the difficulties girls face as they journey into womanhood. It should be required viewing for every male so they can form a sense of empathy for their female friends and family.Brigitte (Emily Perkins) and Ginger Fitzgerald (Katharine Isabelle) are sisters and the best of friends. They're also the town outcasts and parade their obsession with death in front of their classmates, teachers, and family. As they walk home one evening, Ginger is attacked by a ravenous beast.Her wounds heal at an astounding rate and she soon realizes that her body is undergoing two very extraordinary changes. One is fairly normal for all teenage girls: the arrival of her menstrual cycle. The second change is an ever-accelerating transformation into a werewolf. Can Brigitte save Ginger from her insatiable bloodlust before she fully turns into a voracious creature of the night?The version of "Ginger Snaps" I'm reviewing is Unrated. There's a lot of graphic violence and gore in this fine example of a Lycanthropy-centered film. I would consider it to be "R" rated because of strong language, adult situations, and scenes of female werewolf nudity. Ginger's hairy upper torso makes a cameo appearance during the movie's exciting and emotional conclusion.Rarely does a horror movie come along that infuses such immense chills and thrills while so beautifully capturing the pain and awkwardness we all feel journeying from childhood to adulthood. In my humble (yeah, right) opinion, this is the wolf-woman equivalent of the touching-yet-disturbing vampire tale "Let the Right One In" if fused together with the wit of "Heathers."
