Ginger Snaps (DVD)

Out By Sixteen Or Dead in This Scene Together Forever. The above statement would not be heard coming from the lips of your average teenage sisters; thankfully Brigitte "Bea" (Emily Perkins) and Ginger Fitzgerald (Katherine Isabelle) are far from average. They are in fact the two central characters in the fantastic "Ginger Snaps", a horror film which puts a feminine bite into the genre. This hopefully doesn't mean it's not a film the guys out there won't appreciate. True, there is alot of discussion of periods, pads and P.M.T but it is handled in a mostly humorous manner. From the school nurse who chirpily explains just ...  Read the complete review

I've got this ache, and I thought it was for sex, but it's to tear everything to f**king pieces. Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and Brigitte (Emily Perkins) Fitzgerald are social outcasts, they are in fact as outcast as outcast can go, their hobbies include deciding how they should commit suicide together, Taking photos of each other in various poses pretending to be dead – like run over by a car and impaled on a fence and finally a nice game called DOA, where they pick a person they hate and decide how they are going to die. They have no desire to join the gang’s around town or to try and fit in with the crowd, they don’t really want to ...  Read the complete review

"Ginger Snaps" is an underground film from 2000 that shot to cult status very quickly. I originally watched the film about 5 years ago on the sci-fi channel and it stuck with me even until this day. It's easy to see why the film reached such acclaim as it has all the hallmarks that are needed to make a cult classic, "Ginger Snaps" is a funny, memorable and visceral story about two sisters growing up. And one of them is turning into a werewolf. The story follows Bridgitte and Ginger Fitzgerald (played by Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle respectively) two young death-obsessed girls in a small town in Canada. They spend their days ...  Read the complete review

After watching Dog Soldiers not long back, I needed some more werewolf action on screen in front of me. As long as it?s on screen, I don?t mind, these things aint real are they!? So there I was, browsing through the movies on offer on Sky Box Office and I come across Ginger Snaps. Now, I had heard that Ginger Snaps was different to other movies in the werewolf genre, I was eager to find out how it was different, so I paid my £3.50 (yes, it?s that much to watch a film on Sky Box Office!), lay down on the sofa, and was taken in instantly by Ginger Snaps. Ok, so the main reason that I was instantly taken in was the girl who played the lead role, yes I know, I?m ...  Read the complete review

Ginger Snaps was a surprise to me. I vaguely remember hearing about it coming out at the cinema but didn't actual get to watch it or hear much more until I found the dvd for sale in Australia. I bought it because it sounded like it might be fun and was cheap! I am glad I did now though as it really surprised me. Here was a werewolf film (yes, that's what it is but that much is obvious) that actually has some intelligence, and is kind of original. A rare thing in these days of teen horror films that all seem to be more or less the same. The story is based around two sisters who are not exactly popular at school. They plan how they are gong to ...  Read the complete review
