That it be a smart movie.
The gang also provides optional commentary for an alternate opening and about a half-dozen deleted exposition scenes actually worth SEEING -- for once!

The film looks every bit as good, production-wise, as Ginger Snaps.....Despite all these strengths, the film is still not better than the original.....This sequel also contains surprisingly strong performances from its cast.....In particular, the ending is surprisingly unforgettable.....Both lead actresses are also very effective with the black humor..... ...

The dialogue is also surprisingly well done for a movie with such young actors, and that is aimed at the teen demographic.
However, sometimes less is more, and the atmosphere of stalking menace can be accomplished just as effectively with some quick cuts and the clever use of sound and lighting effects.

Thats what Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed does: provides wonderful entertainment that never lets up for a second, and never lets you question the errors that are right in front of you.
It's a disturbing, mean little movie that never offers its audience one moment of relief.

Although not as clever and fresh as its forebear, Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed does share enough of the original's wit and style to make for a pretty fun teen horror flick.
Picking up a short time after the end of the first film, the sequel begins with a very squirrelly Brigitte (Emily Perkins) mainlining monkshood in a cheap motel in order to stave of her inevitable transformation into a werewolf.

The resulting film is hardly a masterpiece (Sullivan's a newcomer, still finding his voice), but Ginger Snaps II: Unleashed is nonetheless swift, efficient, and meticulous.
As rendered (brilliantly) by Maslany, she's creepy enough to make Christina Ricci look like Donna Reed, and shoots most of her scenes through the ceiling and into the stratosphere.
