No other students will talk to them. Ginger is almost sixteen, Brigitte a year younger, but they are in the same classes, and neither of them has gotten her period yet. They do virtually everything together--in fact, their motto is "Together Forever"--until one night Ginger gets attacked by the Beast of Bailey Downs, which previously had been killing and eviscerating dogs. And Ginger then begins to change.... <br> <br> John Fawcett's debut feature film is everything a good horror film should be--creepy, weird, oddly funny, sexy, and very bloody, with its conclusion taking place on Halloween night.

There's something about hairy...
Pros: Wonderfully created film with real guts. Cons: Sadly formulaic final reel. Bottom Line: Ginger Snaps (and bites, snarls, and rips you to shreds)
Pros: A werewolf movie for thinking people. Cons: Ending falls into the mainstream trap. Bottom Line: Yet another chapter in the werewolf genre
Pros: Unique, unsettling, a true Horror. Cons: It ends. Bottom Line: Ginger Snaps Rocks
Pros: great actors, awesome plot Cons: none Bottom Line: Snappy
Pros: Well paced, interesting, well acted and directed Cons: f/x not up to modern hollywood expense, but you won't mind Bottom Line: John Fawcett's Ginger Snaps
Pros: Great characters and solid FX work and gore. Cons: A weak and overlong ending. Bottom Line: John FawcettÂ’s Ginger Snaps (2000)
Pros: Perkins, The screen play, the cinematography, music and directing Cons: A bit...no, a LOT ! bloody and gory! Bottom Line: "I Know You Are But What Am I?" A Sexy Werewolf Chick!
Pros: An Excellent, Quirky Werewolf Film from John Fawcett. Cons: The Gore Might Not Be for Everyone. Bottom Line: Very snappy and Gingery
Pros: Doesn't suck the way a lot of horror movies do Cons: Hmm...lacks those dramatic special effects we've all come to know and love Bottom Line: "Ginger Snaps" Also Sometimes Crackles and Pops
Pros: Performances by Perkins, Isabelle, and Rogers. Fine make-up work. Sharp script. Nice tone. Cons: Creature effects are sometimes weak. Will be too gory for some (or many). Bottom Line: |
