Maturing teenage sisters Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and Bridget (Emily Perkins) Fitzgerald live in the boring suburbs of Bailey Downs. The only thing that stirs their dull existence is death. They are so obsessed with it, that within a school project they stage photographs of their own grisly deaths. On the day of her first menstruation, Ginger is attacked by a werewolf. She survives. Much to her surprise, deep wounds start healing really fast. It’s clear that she’s changing and she’s convinced that the changes are merely symptoms of the onset of puberty. But Brigitte knows different…
Once in a month the moon is full. A teenage girl is becoming a woman … or a werewolf?

This is so unrealistic. I was so disapointed when i saw that movie that i didn’t finish yet! Bad screenplay/bad FX and bad cast.
I like horror movies, but hey!This isn’t a horror movie; this is a cheep home made movie with a bad camera play. You’re unable to see something in this dark camera view. A sequel and a 3rd one..Please, there’s so much things to do with money than a bad ans stupidly funny Canadian movie.Sorry but i was expecting so much…
-4/10..Why? Cause it’s only 90mins.

Great afternoon movie if you’re high!!!

I liked it!! Not as much as “Howling” or “An American Werewolf in London/Paris”
They did a third one? Geeze! Same cast and crew???
The only thing i know is that JR Bourne was in the cast and he’s a great actor. I don’t really see him doing horror movies.
I’ll give a 7/10!! I only saw the 1st one, once, back in 2003.

I heard about a fourth one. But with a different cast;like a kinda remake of that 2000 movie. It was so funny and cool to watch. But i don’t think i would go see the remake. I mean, i didn’t even been to Rob’s HalloweeN remake and it was like a ‘must to see’. But i just can’t wait to see the new Freddy Krueger(2011). Gonna be sick man!!!
I like Freddy since i’m 10 and to see this unfamous bastard on the big screen would be like a child’s dream!! THAT would be worhted!! Not “Ginger Snaps” Remake that was great to see in 2000 and that nobody care today! Who cares about that movie. Yes it was great but not as great to think about a damn other remake that nobody will go see.
