Although I am a huge fan of the Ginger Snaps franchise, I was disappointed with both the sequel and its DVD. Starting off beautifully after Ginger Snaps, we see Brigette (Emily Perkins), Ginger's sister, whom infected herself at the end of the first film in order to stop Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) from unleashing her terror as a werewolf onto the world, taking shots of "wolfsbane" in order to subdue the effects of her transformation. ...

The film succeeds for many different reasons....this isn't so much a werewolf movie as it is a crazy tale of teenagers growing up.....The puberty angle in this film is certainly interesting....one of those is the fantastic script by Karen Walton.....The film, although definitely treading the water of countless other werewolf pics, actually becomes soothingly original because of this terrific story point..... ...

Battered and gasping from a Scream too far, the success of Scary Movie is as good an indication as any that audiences are tiring of every jolt announcing itself with a side order of irony and a dose of the strobing winks. Given the feisty, cynical snap of the dialogue and dour suburban locale, Ginger Snaps has more in common with Heathers than Buffy. ... Full Review

Ginger Snaps is a pitch-black comedy that can satisfy those with a lust for mindless gore as well as those looking for something headier from their movies. The latest film in this grand tradition is John Fawcett's Ginger Snaps . ... Full Review

Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins are superb Trailer, screen tests, Creation Of The Beast and Making Of featurettes, production and cast notes.The screen tests are interesting Isabelle is hammy but charismatic, Perkins is perfect but the production notes are in minuscule print and the featurettes ridiculously short. ...
