Review of Ginger Snaps (2000) by Dann M — 17 Jul 2014
A cult horror film, Ginger Snaps tries to put a unique spin on the werewolf genre but has some tonally problems. Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle star as two sisters whose bond is tested when one of them is attacked by a werewolf and begins to transform.
Unfortunately, the writing is uneven and tries to insert some horror-comedy and satire that doesn't quite work. Part of the problem is the performances, which are pretty lifeless. Additionally, the wolf effects are pretty terrible; though some of the transformation makeup work is rather creative.
Ginger Snaps does some interesting things, but in the end it doesn't quite succeed.
