Summary: Sink Your Claws Into This One and Don't Let Go!!!
Review: I originally seen this movie in 2001 and I was blown away. I loved it all the way through. I was unable to find it anywheres until this year. Well the 2 stars of this film Brigitte (Emily Perkins) and Ginger(Katharine Isabelle) are 2 outcast girls who are very much into the darker things in life. One night on the way to give a little payback to another student Ginger is attacked by a beast but she gets away before the beast kills her well Ginger starts to have some weird new feeling and urges. I'll stop now so i don't ruin it for anybody who hasn't seen it yet. I give it 10 out of 10 skulls!!!! If you like werewolf movies or even horror movies just buy Ginger Snaps. In case you don't know Katharine Isabelle plays in Freddy V.S. Jason.

Summary: I'm starting to consider moving to Canada...
Review: This is honestly one of my favorite movies of all time. Thematically, it's reminiscent of several other films with strong female leads -- Foxfire, Lost and Delirious, Bandits, and Girl, Interrupted come to mind first -- except that this time they got it right. The difference here is the tone. In most of these other films, the sense of earnestness is almost overwhelming. This film, however, doesn't take itself too seriously at all, even when it's dealing with serious subjects. It allows its more serious subject matter to exist on an allegorical level, which works in the heightened reality of a horror film. Basically, what I'm saying is that it's wonderful and exactly the kind of movie I'd love to be able to make some day. Now, as for the DVD itself? Don't get this one. No, really. It's Full Frame and it's completely without extras, except for a single trailer. Spend the extra seven or so dollars and track down the Canadian Collector's Edition. You won't be sorry you did, believe me.

Summary: Ginger Snaps is an excellent horror movie!
Review: Ginger Snaps was an excellent horror movie from beginning to end. The performances by Emily Perkins as Brigitte and Katherine Isabelle as Ginger were excellent. The make-up effects on Ginger and the werewolf that turned Ginger into a werewolf are excellent. This movie has some style to it but that doesn't matter anyway. It still is an excellent horror movie. Go watch it if you want to or not, if you can, or don't want to. People have already seen this on Cinemax. Go and try to rent Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed on whichever format you use to watch movies on. Be ready for the third one, a prequel, Ginger Snaps Back, which looks to debut on DVD and Video sometime in November.

Summary: Great movie, horrible edition
Review: A honest-to-Cronenberg horror movie that treats lycantropy as a degenerative disease and not a "kewl curse". This edition is horrible, however, so it's better if you hop on to Amazon.ca for the Canadian collector's edition (which is widescreen and has extra features other than the trailer).

Summary: Beautiful, bloody and haunting.
Review: To be honest, I rented Ginger Snaps for the first time because the cover was fascinating (yes I judged it by its cover) and the two girls on the cover (whom I later learned to be Ginger and Bridgette) gave me goosebumps. When I first watched it, I believe the movie had just came out, in America, and I was either 12 or 13, so the movie sat well with me (I am indeed an odd child). The disturbing slide show in the very beginning of the movie made me laugh and kept my attention for the 'real gore' later on. As the movie progressed I was entranced by the beauty of the movie, the blend of soundtrack and film was perfect, and the actors fit their parts well. The devotion of Bridgette to Ginger, and Ginger to Bridgette (though she didn't want to show it) was beautifully pulled to its peak at the end of the movie, when (well I don't want to spill the ending) but when Bridgette's love for her sister is finally put to the test. Most of my friends hate this movie, but I love it. A warning, if you don't like a lot of blood and gore, even though it's well, fake, I wouldn't watch this. There's enough death and blood in this movie to feed a population of vampires.

Summary: One heck of a fertility ritual for Ginger!
Review: Teenager Ginger Fitzgerald experiences one hell of a fertility ritual in this cleverly written horror flick from the mind of emerging Canadian dramatist Karen Walton. Suicide-obsessed sisters Ginger and Brigitte (nicknamed "Bee") have created their own isolated world actively in opposition to their suburban surroundings and cookies-and-milk mother (played by Mimi Rogers, with just enough twitchiness). With artsy-goth flair, they enact and photograph gruesome death scenes that they then present as school projects, and wear matching bird skulls around their necks. In other words, these girls were off-kilter BEFORE Ginger gets bitten by a werewolf and starts to become a creature of the lunar cycles herself. This unlikely coming-of-age film could be called a (very) twisted version of the sixth-grade filmstrip Julie's Story-remember that one? We were all sent home afterwards with a pink plastic pouch of slender tampons and Noxema, plus a sure knowledge of what to do if your first menstrual cycle shows up in the middle of dance class. Ginger and Bee are late bloomers-both nearly sixteen and without a single visit from Aunt Flo. Their mother-a suburban fashionista in appliquéd sweatshirts-eagerly awaits the arrival of her daughters' womanhood, but Ginger and Bee want nothing to do with it. They are trying so hard to be anything but average that when Ginger's monthly visitor does arrive, she says in frustration, "God, kill yourself to be different and your own body screws you! If I start sniffing around tampon dispensers moaning about PMS, shoot me, OK?" Ginger's realization that she is afflicted with "the curse" and the werewolf attack happen within moments of each other. The movie creates a parallel between the moon-influenced werewolf changes and the 28-day menstrual changes. Suddenly, Ginger is moody, sprouting hair in new places, and more aggressively sexual. Bee takes action, finding a botanical cure that is apparently even more potent than Extra Strength Midol-but Ginger may be too far gone to be saved. The first half of this movie is delightfully wicked and funny, with the kind of truth to the sisters' morose relationship that could only have been penned by a woman. When the movie gets serious (this is a horror flick after all, and Ginger does "snap"), it brings up some new questions for a feminist audience, but it never stops being the wonderful popcorn pleaser that it's meant to be! This is a better horror movie than most out there, and it has, hands-down, the best audio commentary I've heard.

Summary: New Werewolf Mythology
Review: Ginger (sexy Katharine Isabelle) is a reclusive goth chick who enjoys faking crime scene photos with her sister Brigitte (Emily Perkins). One night Ginger is bitten by a werewolf. After that she begins changing. At first her sex drive shoots through the roof. Then she starts changing physically. This is the best werewolf movie I have ever seen. I have always believed that werewolf movies were simple by nature ("The Howling" being an exception). "Ginger Snaps" takes it into a new direction of teenage angst. It suggests that transforming people into a werewolf is much like contacting an STD. One of Ginger's victoms becomes a wolf because they sleep together, not because she bit him. Isabelle is the driving force of the emotional roller coaster ride. She is scared at first, then grows to love her new powers, and she is convincing all the way. Emily Perkins is also very good as the smart and concerned sister 'B'. There is some disturbing violence, but no where near what you would expect from a horror movie.

Summary: Best Horror Movie Of All Time!
Review: I love this move! It is one of those rare jems you come across and say "Why doesn't everyone know about this movie!" Every thing about it is perfect. I can't wait till Ginger Snaps 2 comes out.

Summary: VERY creative
Review: I really liked this movie. Didn't love it but definitely thought it was well done. Ginger is very cool & I love the sisters whole obsession with death (gives the movie a kick). I am not so sure about the ending, but it was overall a movie that is sure to become a cult classic (& deservedly so). More than likely I will end up buying this movie & adding it to my collection of horror movies.
