Summary: What are these people drinking?
Review: WHAT?Scary? Where? Canadian Buffy.Poorly and slowly done.If you're into the study of lycanthropy-it's okay as it puts some different light on the subject...but as far as entertaining? Scary?Not at all.I agree with one reviewer-seeing a 'real' as opposed to CGI wolf is refreshing,but HAIRLESS?
If looking for a solid,excellent werewolf movie-I've yet to see anything top "American Werewolf in London."
I only say this-unless you study the creatures-RENT first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sad, but VERY beautiful
Review: "Ginger Snaps" is probably the best werewolf film I've ever seen. Well-written and perfectly cast, this wonderful masterpiece is truly a rare find.

Katharine Isabelle as the infected Ginger and Emily Perkins as the determined Brigitte are two sisters who have been named the local outcasts because of their strange fascination of death...until one night they get a taste of the real thing. Ginger has been bitten by something. A creature, a monster or...a werewolf. She begins to show the symptoms and she's feeling hungry...like the wolf. Now it's up to brigitte to try and find the cure before Ginger's new form consumes her body forever...

"Ginger Snaps" is not another dumb horror movie. It has depth and emotion (not exactly a common thing in your average teen flick). The whole film was clever and unpredictable. The ending left me in tears. I highly recommend "Gingers Snaps", a true horror/drama/thriller.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good snap! (For a bad horror movie)
Review: Ginger snaps it's a teen/horror film.
But what it was sorprising about it, is the human history that hides.About two troubled sisters, that fight and love each other to death(Literally).
I was hoping to see a lot of blood and violence, hoping Ginger to really snap.But it never happened.But the good actings and that human thing made it a really cool way to spend time.
It's not worth buying it, but it did the rental(Don't really know).
It depends in the mod you're.Do not expect to see like 100 teen girls murdered and without heads, no.You'll only see 2 or 3 deads.

That's why Ginger Snaps it's good for the kind of movie it is, but bad for being such a not original and boring movie.
The end had almoust no action, and the scares(...) where were them?.
Ginger should have stayed at home.

FINAL GRADE: C-(5)

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Best Werewolf Movie, Ever
Review: A friend originally requested that I catch this movie, and I had absolutely no desire since werewolf films aren't my thing, but I finally gave in, and I'm quite thankful. Ginger Snaps is a new and inventive twist on the classic 'werewolf' tale. It's supsenseful through its whole course, and it tapped deeply into my emotions and kept them running on a high throughout the whole movie.

Ginger Snaps mainly follows the story of two very close-knit sisters through a journey showcasing their love for one another, their pain, and their misfortunes. The sisters, Ginger and Brigitte, have very dark qualities to them however. They stage their own deaths quite frequently, and they're very much outcasts of society and teased on by their peers. All of this brings them closer together however. One night while walking through the woods together, Ginger is attacked by some sort of savage beast, but her sister manages to get her home safely. Or so they think. Ginger slowly starts developing werewolf type characteristics. But through this however, the sisterly bond remiains intact. It seems as if nothing can come between these two devoted sisters.

The movie is very well made, and I constantly found myself glued all the way through. I deeply felt and cared for both sisters and admired their unbreakable bond and even became a tad bit envious of it. Lots of people go through their entire life without becoming this close to someone. Ginger Snaps isn't a movie just about werewolfs, it also taps into your emotions and tells a wonderful story of sisterly bond and devotion. This movie is definitely one of the best and most underrated horror films out there.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not enough bite.
Review: This movie started out with alot of promise, even had decent werewolf effects, problem was you only see it once in the beginning and a few minutes at the end. When I read "Ginger Snaps" I was hoping she would snap all over the place and wolf out alot. Didn't happen. Werewolves are my favorite movie monster and I was hoping to get my wolf fix with this, as you've guessed I was disappointed. Watch it if your in the mood for a movie about troubled teens, if it's horror your after look elsewhere.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: *sigh*
Review: Everyone ranted and raved about this flick. Of course, it's an indie horror flick, so I wasn't expecting it to be superb. I went in with little to no expectations: and amazingly, I was still let down.

First the good news: the first half (or less than half) of the film was actually pretty good. We're introduced to the two outcast sisters, pulling their antics for attention, and getting hell from their classmates. If we had been given some sort of plot to follow through on this it could've ended up being a good film. Additionally, the acting is above par, especially the lead.

Unforunately, once we're introduced to the supernatural element (extraordinarily lame effects) of the "werewolf", it all goes downhill. The plot is tossed together as they go along and the drugdealer ends up being the hero. He's one of the better characters, but he's not nearly enough to pull it out of the gutter.

I give it one star for the acting, and another for the possibility it showed in the beginning. I'd give it another star for utilizing the werewolf (my favorite monster) but they did such a disgustingly horrendous job with it (the only horror I was assaulted with in the film) that I can't in good conscience promote it.

I don't own it and I never will. Luckily I didn't pay for the rental either.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: So funny I have to give it three stars
Review: This movie started off being intriguing, two sisters making a pact, protecting each other, the domineering mother and THEN it turned into a comedy. What was so funny was I think the director was being serious. The last part is the funniest when she changes into the vampire. This movie had me in tears, I will definatly watch it again for humor sake.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I told you girls..no more death in the house
Review: I saw this movie last nite on SAT TV. whoo-boy another lame werewolf flick with closetgoth sisters.
Story is the girls are in the park late at nite when what appears
to be a quickblur with large teeth attacks one of the girls and carries her off screaming.
Well yep..you guessed it she's been bitten by a lycanthrope and we all know soon she will become one.
The plot and story are lame the acting however is very competent
and the girls play their parts well SFX are kinda short and cheap
an OK movie I give it 3 stars for a credible effort
oh..for any of you who know Mimi Rogers (she is a hottie but not in this film) she plays the dimball mother of the girls
