    A really cool follow up that is better than the first! It?s like Girl Interrupted but good! The twist at the end is brilliant!

    This is the only sequel I have seen that could be considered an improvement on its original.

    I'm a great Fan of Ginger Snaps and was really excited about this film when i first heard about it, unfortunately when it arrived at the cinema I was to young to see it. I'm sure its a...( read more)lways a gamble for people and film fans alike to buy movies on Tapoe/DVD with out viewing them first and for me this was a first. It was well worth the risk of my cash as I loved the film, the casting was especially good this time around ( the DVD showing the auditions in all their glory ) As far as the films go Emily Perkins takes her original part and runs with it, totally convincing the audience that she is trying to break away from her sister and the ghosts of the past.

    The special effects and make up are of course grander this time around which enhances the horror side of things, but I my self view this more as a Drama that a Horror film. The suspense is really edgy and makes you want to fast forward to the next scene to see what happens next. As well as the stand allow story of Briditte's new company 'Ghost' making you want more as the plot continues. Even as a sequel this is a hard one to beat. I whole heartedly will you to see it, even if you have not yet view the first one.

    Directed by: Brett Sullivan.
    Starring: Katharine Isabelle, Emily Perkins, Eric Johnson.

    How do you follow up Ginger Snaps? Although the ending gave an opening for more, it would be a tough task to create something different and just as refreshing as t...( read more)he original....and although the original will always stay the best, Ginger Snaps 2 takes a new route and proves to be strong.

    The story follows Bridget from the first film, who is now a werewolf herself, while trying to deal with her loss, she has clearly run away from home and is trying everything to keep herself from changing, but when she collapses and the cops find her and think she has overdosed, she awakens to find herself in a rehab clinic and with no 'Wolfsbane' and a werewolf on the loose looking to mate with her, she must find a way before the next full moon to stop it all. There are certainly things I miss from the first film, such as the amazing blend of genres and the metaphors, but this film delivers something different. While being a slight black comedy in parts, it focuses a lot more on our new main character and her struggles with her inner demons....and other elements draw their power from that. Brett Sullivan takes the helm this time and with his editing experience (being editor on Ginger Snaps), he has a more unique and slick vision and works extremely well with the low budget....and he also delivers a lot of intense and exciting gory sequences with acceptable tension. Emily Perkins has finally formed into something good compared to the first film, she has a lot to work with here and delivers a much more solid and convincing performance and newbie Tatiana Maslany has this strange presence about her, she shows insane potential and has this essence of a possible horror icon in the future.

    I certainly miss the wit and satire of the first film, but with Ginger Snaps 2, it takes a different path that is refreshing. A very strong and compelling horror film with great vision, tension and a strong female cast....and a twist that is surprising and could work for the characters image in future roles.

    Snarky and almost as good as the first, this movie drags a bit but is still really good. Brigitte is a great character, as is Ghost.

    Not all Canadian films are this bad, I swear.

    Once again, they did it again. Great werewolf movie.
    10/23/09 Saw it again. Not that many killings but dealt mostly with drama and one flicked young girl
  • October 18, 2009
    a very good sequel, in the same spirit of freshness and fun as the first one

    and i just loved Ghosts character
    and the ending

    those are two very underestimated pieces of cinema
  • September 16, 2009
    I was a little bit disappointed, but the psychological emphasis put on Brigitte and the overall dark atmosphere are the positive aspects that make for its pace and plot.

    42/100

    Well, we continue on from the last, and asides from looking emotionally shattered, suicidal, and drug addled, the younger sister looks a little healthier. This is worth a watch, plenty of gore and the odd, laugh suprisingly. Even though its not meant to be funny.

    Justins Best Bit: A cute, pretty, blonde, psychotic little girl!
