September 6, 2014There aren't enough good werewolf movies out there. Sure, there's 'An American Werewolf in London' and 'The Howling' and 'Dog Soldiers' and a few others, but when you factor in all the vampire movies and haunted house movies, I'd say the werewolf sub-genre is relatively untapped. 'Ginger Snaps' is one of the good ones, in my opinion, and one that is regrettably under appreciated. Katharine Isabelle stars as Ginger, and together with her sister Brigitte (Emily Perkins), the two high school outcasts fantasize about death and other morbid curiosities. When Ginger is bitten by a werewolf she begins changing both physically and mentally. Scared by her sister's changes, Brigitte consults with a local drug dealer to find a cure for Ginger's new-found lycanthropy. Scream Factory just released a nice looking blu-ray, so go pick up your copy and check it out.
