The sharp feminist narrative makes up for the admirable but underwhelming werewolf makeup and other practical effects.
September 25, 2018 | Full Review… -
A smart, resourceful, and wickedly funny teen-horror film that reinvents the werewolf myth as a potent metaphor for pubescent angst and humiliation.
October 7, 2013 | Full Review… -
A quietly subversive my-sister-is-turning-into-a-werewolf movie that doesn't wimp out at the end.
September 24, 2007 | Full Review… -
This isn't just a good horror movie, it's a good movie. Period.
June 24, 2006 | Full Review… -
The ideas are thin, and the scene-by-scene execution of them is bumbling.

A superbly realized take on the perils of being different in a world that demands conformity.

Audience Reviews for Ginger Snaps

Apr 30, 2016What begins as a clever satire that uses lycanthropy as a witty metaphor for puberty soon gets sadly derailed in a disappointing development in which it seems to go awry and lose its way (mainly its thematic focus) into mere gore and violence (though I do like how it ends).Carlos M Super Reviewer

Apr 26, 2015Really really strange and will appeal mostly to alternative audiences. The real spark in this teeny, biting dark comedy comes from the driven and extremely enthusiastic performance of Katharine Isabelle as a young woman on the cusp of physical pubescent development who is bitten by a werewolf and suffers from a supernatural curse, a symptom of which happens to be menstruation. The almost pitch black humour will resonate amongst an audience of misfit teens in black clothes that Ginger Snaps will likely appeal to most.Harry W Super Reviewer

Jul 18, 2014A cult horror film, Ginger Snaps tries to put a unique spin on the werewolf genre but has some tonally problems. Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle star as two sisters whose bond is tested when one of them is attacked by a werewolf and begins to transform. Unfortunately, the writing is uneven and tries to insert some horror-comedy and satire that doesn't quite work. Part of the problem is the performances, which are pretty lifeless. Additionally, the wolf effects are pretty terrible; though some of the transformation makeup work is rather creative. Ginger Snaps does some interesting things, but in the end it doesn't quite succeed.Dann M Super Reviewer

Sep 12, 2013Okay. Starts out really weird but gets interesting. Honestly though, there's way too much unnecessary blood and gore, and I really feel that it takes away from the movie. The ending is cool but way too abrupt and leaves too many open plot holes.Stephen S Super Reviewer
