Movie Reviews of Ginger Snaps
Movie Review: Not just a horror cinema, but something even more!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes I emphasize that! its not just your daily typical teen horror film, its not just about make-ups and scaring audiences, the films offers something more, something that is usually not seen in gore/horror movies today. An excellent and deep chemistry between two co-stars, i.e the two sisters in the film played by Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins. Well, what can I say about the film, a totally unique horror cinema, marvelous and excellent action from the cast, specially Emily Perkins who plays 'Bridgette'. My god! she just steals the whole show, you just can't afford to take your eyes off her. The chemistry between Bridgette and her sister is beyond words, its amazing. Katherine Isabelle was excellent as the possessed girl. Both sisters deliver an excellent performance, you just can't take your eyes off the screen, because of them. Mimi Rogers also had a brief role, she was good. Overall the film is terrific, it's quite different from most horror movies made today, very few horror movies succeed in delivering strong chemistry between two co-stars, very few horror movies succeed in showing depth, 'Ginger snaps' is a perfect example of Drama and Horror, don't miss it at all, the film is amazing. Give it a try!
Summary of Ginger Snaps
Like Carrie before it, Ginger Snaps uses horror-movie conventions as an inspired metaphor for puberty. When beautiful but reclusive goth teenager Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) is attacked by a monstrous wolf on the eve of her first period, her body starts changing in a big way, as do her suddenly lusty, feral appetites. Director John Fawcett masterfully balances the expectations of teen horror exploitation (blood, bodies, sex, smart dialogue, and good old-fashioned monster-movie scares) with clever black humor and tender sisterly solidarity. Only devoted sister Brigitte (gloomy Emily Perkins) knows the truth, and even as Ginger's abrupt transformation threatens their once unbreakable friendship, bonds of blood and love keep them together: Brigitte disposes of Ginger's victims while searching for a cure. Mimi Rogers costars as their dotty but unexpectedly sensitive mom, ready to sacrifice all to protect her daughter. Blood and blood ties have never been more evocative. --Sean AxmakerMystery & Suspense DVD Video
