Review of Ginger Snaps (2000) by David B — 17 Dec 2012

At last a horror film with real bite. Canada. Werewolves. It's the smartest and funniest scary movie in a long time -- and a true feminist horror film. There's a lot of reasons why this film is more memorable than other teen horror movies.

For one thing, everything in Ginger Snaps is kept consistent including, the frights, the irony and the belly aching laughs. The lead duo give it all they've got and that's rarely seen in this type of movie.

Backed up with a decent script, an array of likable and real characters and a cleverly built in social commentary, Ginger Snaps succeeds beyond all other films with this over used premise. I'm really surprised this one was forgotten, because it's damn well the coolest one out there.
