Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating: - PMS is deadlySince Eden, good wholesome hard-working friendly members of the male gender have felt the effects of "that time of the month". Here we have a horror movie metaphor called Ginger Snaps. Even the title itself sounds so friendly, warm, cute, and inviting. But as guys we soon learn that's b.s. Ginger is a young high school chick anticipating her first period. Well, it comes, more like an exclamation point. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...

It's dark and gothic and has a lot of teeth for a teen horror movie. The ending is a bit of a bummer, but there is a lot of fun along the way. Rating: - "We're almost not even related anymore . . . . "Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and Bridgette (Emily Perkins) are two misfit sisters whose favorite "bonding" activity is to take pictures of their own fake (gory) deaths, some of which they submit as a slideshow for a school assignment, much to their teacher's horror. They have a pact that they will be "out by sixteen or dead in the scene" but "together forever" regardless. Needless to say, no one at school - teachers, students, BOYS, quite know what's up with them or what to do with them. But they get each other. ...

The things that I love about the movie are: acting, setting, costumes, music, story, and I could go on. Sometimes everything comes together in a movie, and this is one of those. It is a perfect for comparing getting the "curse", something all girls go through, to getting the CURSE, the mark of the beast, which few people have. I love the similarities between the two.
