Review of Ginger Snaps (2000) by Lisa Michelle A — 08 Jan 2010

The first time I saw this it creeped the hell out of me! But it was really good and once I got past all of the really creepy and scary parts I really liked it. It's one of the best Werewolf films i've ever seen, along with the two sequels that followed after it. Ginger Snaps is where I first became a fan of Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins, who are truly great as Ginger and Brigitte, albeit terrifyingly great!!!

The best lines (in no particular order):

Brigitte: "I didn't betray you.".

Ginger: "You locked me up!".

Ginger: [to Brigitte] "A girl can only be a slut, a bitch, a tease, or the virgin next door.".

Brigitte: "I was just wondering what you hit.".

Sam: [sarcastically] "Well, officer, looked like a lycanthrope to me, sir.".

Brigitte: "I know what a lycanthrope is.".

Sam: "Sure you do.".

Brigitte: "Think you see werewolves a lot?".

Ginger: "Out by sixteen or dead on the scene, but together forever.".

[Growing impatient waiting for Brigitte to hold her hand].

Ginger: "C'mon! Together forever.".

Brigitte: "United against life as we know it.".

[Sam is stoned, and has just ran over the werewolf].

Sam: "Oh, fuck me.".

Ginger: [about becoming a werewolf, drunk on blood] "You love it. Should come for the ride. A little scratch. Swap some juice. We'll be our own pack, like before. It's so 'us' B.".

Pamela Fitzgerald: "Jesus Christ on a bicycle! What the - ?".

My Actor/Actress review:

Katherine Isabelle - plays messed up Ginger down to a tee!!! Far too much swearing though.

Emily Perkins - quite grim as Brigitte.

Kris Lemche - ahh, I looooove Kris Lemche!!!
