To begin: this is my favorite werewolf movie. I remember seeing it in my video store, all the way back in the year 2000; as I dismounted my T. Rex, I recall thinking, given the cover, that this was going to be a low-budget crapfest with loads of nudity. Lucky for me, I like nudity - even though there is none here. No, I mean it's lucky because this immediately became a favorite for me.
So, the movie follows two Canadian goth sisters in high school - Ginger, and Brigitte. Now, I love me some goth girls, and Perkins, and Isabelle play a great pair of gloomy goths.
Anyway, yes, this is a werewolf movie, but don't expect werewolves running around Canada, maybe going to a Leafs game or slammin' some Labatt Blue, ah. There are only two werewolves and they don't have much screen time. The story is more about sisterhood, and the lycanthropy is serving as a metaphor for puberty.
Another nice touch is that the movie is set during October, ending on Halloween, so it is another must watch during that month.
A very solid horror movie, with moments of dark comedy, and an ending that is pretty grim and sad.
_Ginger Snaps_ is totally a journey, one that I have trekked many times. The full trilogy is great, but the first is the standout.
I highly recommend this for fans of _Jennifer's Body_ or _The Craft_. Any of my little goth kids out there, you need to watch this.
