Girls Gone Wild meets the Teenage Werewolf.

by cntaur5, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Apr 07 '06
Pros: Good action, Katharine Isabelle's performance was good.
Cons: Some material is vulgar, over the top acting and profanity.
Ginger Snaps (2000) is a horror film that opens in a small suburban town with a mother happily raking leaves while her toddler plays in the sandbox. Suddenly the child pulls his dog’s paw out of the sand. The startled mother investigates ...

Pros: Great characters and solid FX work and gore.

When I first started hearing the buzz about John Fawcett’s werewolf film Ginger Snaps, I was guardedly optimistic. The film, which was only shown...

John Fawcett’s Ginger Snaps (2000)

by artbyjude Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 29 '03
Pros: Perkins, The screen play, the cinematography, music and directing
Cons: A bit...no, a LOT ! bloody and gory!
It is rare that you get to see an old subject approached in a new way, and it would appear that only independent film makers dare to explore the wild side. Case and point is Ginger Snaps, a horror flick about werewolves. It has a pretty good...

"I Know You Are But What Am I?" A Sexy Werewolf Chick!

by thevoid99 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jan 22 '04
Pros: An Excellent, Quirky Werewolf Film from John Fawcett.
Cons: The Gore Might Not Be for Everyone.
Since the release of the 1999 independent horror film “The Blair Witch Project”, a new genre of dark, horror films were starting to emerge. While “The Blair Witch Project” became a huge hit that unfortunately lost its audience after ...

John Fawcett's Ginger Snaps

by darkofnight , Aug 10 '03
Pros: Heartbreaking and brutal, masterful direction, excellent performances, f*cking amazing ending!
Cons: Very few.
You can’t watch a film like David Cronenberg’s The Fly and not get some kind of reaction. Cronenberg in undoubtedly one of the masters of “creep under your skin” cinema, and his vision of The Fly certainly proved that to the ...

Very snappy and Gingery

by Roov , Nov 01 '01
Pros: Doesn't suck the way a lot of horror movies do
Cons: Hmm...lacks those dramatic special effects we've all come to know and love
I would not normally have been interested in this movie, since I don't find horror movies that appealing for the most part, but I read a good review of it that made it sound intriguing and so, yesterday being Halloween (and we went out to buy candy for...

There's something about hairy...

by Simply_Crispy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 29 '01
Pros: Wonderfully created film with real guts.
Cons: Sadly formulaic final reel.
Hollywood must surely have an inferiority complex at the moment. And if it doesn’t, it fricking well should do. 2001, it’s safe to say, has hardly been a vintage year for fans of LA film making. 12 months of palatable dross (Save The Last Dance,...

A Howling Good Time: John Fawcett's "Ginger Snaps"

by stargull , Oct 19 '01
Pros: Great acting and storyline
Cons: Difficult to find in the USA at present
Pity the poor werewolf. Once upon a time he was a creature to be feared, a boogeyman of the night equal in stature to Dracula, The Mummy, and Frankenstein's monster. The very mention of his name inspired terror. A full moon was less a symbol of...

Ginger Snaps (and bites, snarls, and rips you to shreds)

by pyallen , Sep 09 '01
Pros: A werewolf movie for thinking people.
Cons: Ending falls into the mainstream trap.
Ginger Snaps is coming to home video and DVD on October 23. You may be tempted to leave it on the shelf, simply because you've never heard of it, and the blurb on the box seems to scream "B Movie!". Do not, I repeat, do NOT leave a copy of...

"Ginger Snaps" Also Sometimes Crackles and Pops

by d_fienberg Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 23 '02
Pros: Performances by Perkins, Isabelle, and Rogers. Fine make-up work. Sharp script. Nice tone.
Cons: Creature effects are sometimes weak. Will be too gory for some (or many).
Like the best of Canadian cinema, Ginger Snaps is either earnestly subversive or subversively earnest and it's difficult at times to figure out which way its going at any given time. A classic horror film with the subtext laid bare, Ginger Snaps is like...

Ginger Snaps: the film, the (Canadian-exclusive) DVD

by bill_chambers , Oct 09 '01
Pros: Ginger sweet Ginger
Cons: Snaps, she
Ginger Snaps is so eager to let you know that it's a metaphor, like a kid with a secret, that the text upon its subtext becomes transparent--and when you can see through a film, it's not as much fun. About a month ago I watched John Landis' An...

What Happens When A Werewolf Attacks

by bybob , Oct 27 '01
Pros: Horror movie with gore and werewolves
Cons: When the characters do something that you know is impossible, plastic werewolf
When my dad first mentioned that we should see Ginger Snaps, I asked him what it was because that was the first time I heard of it. He then showed me a review about the movie and I wanted to see it right away.

Ginger Sucks

by dylgon , Apr 06 '04
Pros: First half hour, werewolf movie
Cons: Not scary, un-realistic, the werewolf looks like my old halloween costume which was mainly plastic
Ginger Snaps is about two goth sisters who live in a small town. They are both teenagers. When the oldest of the two, Ginger, gets mauled by a creature ( which turns out to be a werewolf ) strange things begin to happen. She starts growing fur ...
