 4/4 |
A stunning teen angst/werewolf film from 2001, this was the best lycanthrope movie since An American Werewolf in London. Full Review |

|
5/5 |
Successfully operates on dual levels -- as a horror movie and as a study of two sisters. Full Review |

|
|
The movie is much at its best when dealing merely with suspicions, rather than when later laying out the lycanthropy and laying on the gore. Full Review |

At last a horror film with real bite. Full Review |
||
|
|
A quietly subversive my-sister-is-turning-into-a-werewolf movie that doesn't wimp out at the end. Full Review |

This isn't just a good horror movie, it's a good movie. Period. Full Review |

|
3.5/5 |

|
3.5/5 |

|
2/4 |
...winds up wallowing in its own detached ironic humour. Full Review |

|
4/5 |
Enjoyable and effective teen werewolf movie with some refreshingly new ideas and lashings of gore. Full Review |

A- |
There's a nice undercurrent of black humor that mines absurdities from an adolescent perspective, but this is no Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Full Review |

|
3.5/4 |
This is the creepiest, most authentic feeling, smartest horror flick in a long time. Full Review |

On its surface, Ginger Snaps is a werewolf movie, but what's refreshing is the clever satire at its core. Full Review |
