I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Parts 2 and 3 combined don't add up to any give ten minutes of this film. While not very scary, it IS very well made, and the acting holds up strong. The casualties may be a bit over the top, but some people here get what is coming to them, as one would expect from a horror film.

Continuing to review werewolf movies in chronological order, I'm now at 2000 with this, an independently-made movie from Canada being the tale of two teen sisters-Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and her one-year younger one Brigitte (Emily Perkins). They're both fascinated with depictions of death to the point of photographing each other in various ways of deadly accidents. Then Ginger gets bitten by a wolf while she and her sis are walking down the road...This was both horrifyingly scary and a little funny (I dug that scene of that school nurse giving advice on menstruation). And seeing Mimi Rogers as the deadpan mom was also a hoot to watch especially after she's told what's going on! So on that note, I highly recommend Ginger Snaps.

As taken from: http://www.beyondvalwood.com/#!A-review-of-the-movie- Ginger-Snaps/c218b/5744d7480cf29ab9ec2c8270Hello readers,It was a typical Monday night. Hazel and I were bored and playing the usual "What would you like to do?" game while I procrastinated on writing my sequel to Beyond the Veil, A Veil of Stars."Do you want to watch a movie?" Hazel barked at me."Yes, but I want to watch something inspiring", I said. "Hey, maybe a werewolf movie, since I'm writing about werewolves!" And so folks, this is how we came to watch Ginger Snaps on Hulu last night. And OMG, do I wish I hadn't. Of all the inspiring movies we could have filled our eyeballs with last night, I chose this horrifyingly bad flick and I want my hour and forty eight minutes back. Think of all the amazing, awe inspiring words that I could have written today that may have been inspired from watching an amazing, awe inspiring werewolf movie (do any of those exist?)...but no. Instead you get this review :PNumerous problems abound with Ginger Snaps, including characterization, pacing, special effects, and the writing itself. Katharine Isabelle as Ginger seems to be trying to hold this entire film together herself, while the other actors are clearly struggling with their parts (with perhaps the exception of Kris Lemche as Sam). This unintentionally funny/horror movie does not know what it wants to be, and it suffers for it with a title that does not match the tone of the film. Hazel, being easily entertained, bless the little dog, gave this film 2 stars. I was not so kind, so it only receives a measly one star from me. Harrumph.This film follows the lives of sisters Brigitte and Ginger as they stage their own deaths and go to school. Things quickly take a darker turn when Ginger swiftly approaches puberty (and by that I mean she starts spewing blood at very inconvenient times) on their way to prank a snotty, popular chick. A werewolf, smelling her menstrual blood, attacks and she is bitten. We follow her journey into lycanthropy (and this could not be any more boring if this film tried, which it clearly didn't). Emo, expressionless and uninteresting Brigitte skulks throughout the entire film as she tries to hide her sister's "curse" and cure her. When we finally do see Ginger in her most glorious werewolf form, I was disappointed to see that she quite resembled the love child between a bat and a pig. And while most of the film is lacking in sufficient action, the ending is so gratuitous that it quickly loses steam into its very fitting, but altogether unsatisfying conclusion.The puberty=werewolfiness angle was bad enough. But the biggest problem Hazel and I had with this movie was the suspension of belief. I don't mean that I had trouble believing werewolves were really pig/bat mutants, but none of the actors would be believable in any setting except for Ginger. If you were thrown into the eviscerated remains of a dog you would be horrified, not merely humiliated and if you suspected your daughter of murder, you would not simply "light a match in the house, forget your husband, and start a new life with your kids!" It was moments like these, AKA bad writing, that pulled Hazel and I out of the story and prevented us from fully enjoying what I believe was a good story buried in the rubble. Somewhere.Now Hazel was not nearly as harsh on this movie as I was. The acting is alright, the cinematography solid, if not a bit bland, and the gradual transformation of Ginger was well done, if not a bit tedious. The adjusted score for this film is 1.5 stars.

Kathrine Isabelle and Emily Perkins give what is nothing less the performances of their very lives in this terrific film. Under the direction of John Fawcett they are absolutely electric in their respective roles as sisters. Screen writer Karen Walton creates characters here that the two leads can realistically bring to life and embody. It is not your typical horror script with girls in jeopardy and behaving helplessly. These young women are relatively strong and proactive in facing their ungodly peril. Perkins and Isabelle are simply unforgettable and hopefully this film serves as a vehicle which will get them noticed for future projects. Kudos to all involved with this production but especially to those responsible for the screenplay, the gifted director, and the two magnificent young women leading a fine supporting cast.
