    This is, in my opinion, an absolutely amazing movie. I'm not sure if it's true, but I have *heard* that there are very little-if any-computer generated special effects. No matter how it was done, it's definitely one of my favorites.

    "I get this ache... And I, I thought it was for sex, but it's to tear everything to fucking pieces."

    Clever and original. The use of puberty and lycanthropy is outstanding. I can watch it anytime and it's still like Brand new.

    Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins had amazing chemistry on screen and portrayed close-knit sisters Ginger and Bridgette beautifully.

    Ginger Snaps should definitely be considered as a modern classic in the near future.

    Fantastic 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.

    This is a decent horror film in some terms. It is shocking, controversial and one of the most brutal and goriest portrayals of the hardships of adolescence. Worth a watch, it will move something in you.

    Brilliant werewolf horror.Two teenage sisters,Ginger and Brigitte, have made a pact to stay together forever,even die together.But when Ginger is attacked by a dog-like creature near the woods at night,she starts to change and become much more aggressive and less of an outcast than she was before.It's not long before the sisters realise that Ginger is changing into a werewolf and that Brigitte can either find a cure or join her and become a werewolf herself in order to keep their pact alive.This has some scary moments,gore and good performances from Emily Perkins and Katherine Isabelle as the sisters,along with some decent dialogue.A great modern horror.

    The smartest and most insightful entry in the short history of the teen horror genre with its subversive look at adolescent angst, black humor, and cautionary themes.

    A 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.

    Ginger snaps is tale of sisters Ginger and Brigitte Fitzgerald who are morbid and obessed with death, and are each others only friend. One night Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) is attacked by some sort werewolf/wolf, and begins to transform into a flesh eating animal. The sister relationship is put to the ultimate test love when Brigitte (Emily Perkins) much protect her sister as well as keep her from killing the people of thier town, and maybe if its possible cure her sister of this awful curse that becomes of her. All of the leads are excellent in their roles, with the two lead actresses Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle expertly playing the disturbed Fitzgerald sisters with fantastic chemistry. Kris Lemche is also notable as the drug dealer, giving a performance reminiscent of Christian Slater's shining moment in "Heathers". The has gore, lots of killing, but it does it tastefully. Overall this was a very pleasant surprise - a good teen horror movie. This is a worthy contribution to the werewolf genre, and fits nicely with "American Werewolf in London" and "The Howling".

    I was curious to see this because I had heard that it was probably the best recent werewolf movie around, and better than An American Werewolf in London. Uh..not exactly. AAWiP remains my favorite werewolf movie for several reasons.

    Totally unknown here in Italy, and that's a shame because Ginger Snaps is a good teen horror movie.
    I didn't like the ending, but the rest of the flm is very enjoyable.

    In a world where decent werewolf movies are hard to come by, this one is the one I always wanted to make. The gore is VERY excessive. The wolf effects are minimal but much more my taste than most wolf effects. These werewolves are lythe and lanky. And I'll admit it - I screamed like a girl a couple times. I can't wait to see the next one!

    This is a wicked movie. I love how its a horror film with a plot. An Actual decent plot. Thats so rare now a days. I really liked how it was really about her transistion not really just about werewolves. I enjoyed the sense of time. Most movies don't give you time frames. I liked how Gingers transition was slow. With little things at first. Then bigger things changed. I think Emily Perkins and Katherine Isabella were perfect for Ginger and Brigette. No one else could have done better. I mean they brought something to the charactors little creepy quirks. And the Chemistry was amazing. You really felt for Brigette at the end and for the hard decsion she had to make.
    This movie is so Unique and tottaly different. I like how it was also Canadian.

    who doesn't love a lower budget canadian horror film, and ginger snaps is at it's best. The tale of two misfits sisters, 1 of which is attacked by a werewolf and becomesone herself is just brilliant, both actresses were amazing. not only was this a great horror film, but it just had a great enough does of comedy in it to make it genius

    A 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.

    I 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

    My friend likes werewolf movies, and so do I, so she lent me this. These two sisters were twisted to begin with (I hate goths and emo's) so I had more pitty for dear old mum and dad than one contracting Lycanthropy and horribly changing into a she-wolf, and the other having to deal with it.
