Fun and twisted coming of age horror. It got even better on my second viewing. Werewolf horror films aren't my favorite and I blame _Twilight_ for that, but this one perfectly encapsulates the nightmare of teenage girlhood told in a metaphorical way. The leads are lovable. Two contrasting personalities but has such unique chemistry. The vibe is so early 00s with goth aesthetic. Add in solid humor and decent gore effects. It's similar to…

> I get this ache... And I, I thought it was for sex, but it's to tear everything to fucking pieces. Going into this film, I had absolutely no clue what it was about, so imagine my surprise... Karen Walton's script is the high point for me. You can immediately tell this wasn't written by some random dude, but by someone that has a fresh, personal, and authentic perspective on themes addressed here. It's always very welcome and interesting to see…

Oh I get the appeal. It's fun. Watching this back to back with The School for Good and Evil was an interesting experience because that movie is based on a surprisingly interesting and good narrative about female relationships but the movie was trash. THIS movie is a much better film about that. It's got gore. It's got depth. It's got subtlety. It's got great chemistry between the two lead girls. It explores their sexuality without being a movie…

Exactly what it sounds like, “Ginger Snaps.” I loved the performances from the 2 lead actresses. Their relationship as sisters was believable (it was interesting to find out that Emily Perkins (Brigette) was older than Katherine Isabelle (Ginger). The performances carry this movie for me and I can’t wait to rewatch it next October.

You can never go wrong with Katharine Isabelle. That's why I don't know why I waited so long to watch the "Ginger Snaps" series. This low-budget flick really packs a punch. Isabelle and Emily Perkins portray two sisters, one of whom slowly transforms into a monster after a werewolf attack. Both excel in their roles. Most importantly, they have fantastic chemistry. However, not everything about the film is great. There is not much subtlety. That…

I just watched this for the first time (October 2025), and the high ratings would surprise me if this wasn’t a 2000s movie (such a simpler time). I only wanted to see Becky was Supernatural. It was disturbing and silly and gross. My favorite is when the werewolf started growing nipples. I may have liked this more if it wasn’t on Peacock and an extra 3 hours long bc of the commercials (a slight exaggeration).
