| Ginger Snaps me up! |
| defientily one of my favs |
| A Bit of Horror, Sarcasm and Teenage Angst. |
So begins a tale of two girls and their problems at the local high school. Ginger and Bridgette are the 'odd' ones at school, the school Goths and the people everybody always look upon with a bit of distaste. They think they're weird, but some of the guys think Ginger (Katherine Isabelle) is hot.
Of course, if the two girls didn't have their own problems at school to think about, there's been something killing the local dogs. Brigette (Emily Perkins) finds this out one day when a nasty little thing called Tina Sinclaire pushes her down at gym.
Right into a dead dog.
Ginger's had enough with Tina. She's the girl that drives her crazy, and she wants to do something about her. So, with the props left over from their 'Death and Suicide' school project video, they decide to play a prank on Tina, using her dog as a target.
When the girls get halfway there, Ginger has the most unexpected thing in her life:
Her period.
Both of the girls are a few years late at their periods, but that's not the thing they need to worry about.
When a nearby child spring-action toy moves, they know something's with them.
Then Ginger gets torn off into the forest.
-----
All in all, Ginger Snaps is a very, very good movie. It's taken an old genre and mixed it with a bunch of things teenagers go through: school life, personal problems with parents and fitting in, angst, relationships and all of that good stuff. Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins as Ginger and Brigette make amazing actors and they play their Gothic rolls personally, as if they were the real characters.
Ginger Snaps will leave you wanting for more. October 20, 2007
