October 1, 2009A top Werewolf film! (At last!) The young cast do well as does Fawcett in only his second film!

November 6, 2008Here we have a highly entertaining movie. I was never a werewolf movie fan, and I feel most of them are made for hardcore fans rather than to casual viewers. The thing is, in most of them, there's the obviously unrealistic main theme which is, on top of that, usually stretched, ...( read more)

September 21, 2008Sisters Ginger and Brigitte are walking through the park when Ginger is attacked by some sort of wolf that leaves her badly cut before they get away. With Ginger on her period already she is upset about the various changes happening to her body but it is apparent to Brigitte that...( read more)

July 21, 2008Fantastic movie, one of the best werewolf flicks out there. It's bloody, fast-paced, thematically clever, and it's got a wicked streak of black humor.

May 16, 2008A very cool modern take on the werewolf genre. Mixing in a lot of teenage angst as well, the young cast do very well and the werewolf effects are very good.

November 3, 2009If you're looking for a fresh approach in the tired & worn-out werewolf territory, Canadian-made 'GInger Snaps' amuses and disgusts by being part 'Heathers' and part 'The Fly' (Cronenberg version). Two fatalistic teenage sisters Ginger and Brigitte have their worlds thrown into ...( read more)

November 2, 2009This became my favorite werewolf movie immediately after seeing it for the very first time. Ginger (Katherine Isabelle) and Brigitte (Emily Perkins) are sisters and are often rationalized as outcasts for their morbid imagination and obsessive ideas about death. Ginger and Brigitt...( read more)

October 24, 2009One of the few werewolf movies of the last decade and quite possibly the best (only rivaled by its sequel in all honesty), Ginger Snaps manages to take the tongue in cheek elements and structure of An American Werewolf in London, and not only update it for a modern audience, but ...( read more)

October 26, 2008it had a good story line made you want to watch more and in the end the director and the writers did a great job. They also picked really good actors to play in this movie good camera angles and everything the only thing I didn't like is when Sam dies I am not trying to be mean or anything but why him like really I can understand the janitor because he was creepy and all but Sam didn't have to go like really I was hoping the two would get together in the end I can't wait to see the second one I hope it is as good as the second other ways that is going to suck as like really suck ass so anyways i have to go some where so I will comment on the second one and see what i think of it when I get home so peace for right now people and I hope you get nightmares after this so peace and good luck on watching this movie for the first time or for the second or third or fourth or what ever number you are at peace. Love from: Blackspider

March 3, 2007A brilliant example ov Y Canada is 1 ov the hotspots ov modern Horror cinema. I luv Ginger Snaps Bcoz it doesn't hold anything bak. It's honest, raw and at times also a little erotic. + it's nice 2 C a decent traditional horror feature film with all ov this gorno stuff in circulation right now. 4.5 stars always.

September 19, 2006I liked this series. The changes aren't too bad when the girls start to emerge into a werewolf and I found the gore pretty good. I was disapointed in bridgette though, found her a bit boring. For the werewolf fans out there, its a must see, don't care what anyone says. Its a like it or don't kind of film. I liked it, recently watched it again and it still makes me jump in parts lol
