Ginger Snaps
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0210070/
I was looking forward to
this movie quite a bit actually and was a little let down but I’ve just come to
realize something. I don’t really like
high school kids. I don’t know what it
is about them but I have this I’m better than they are feeling. Am I old?
Multiple times this month I’ve talked about them and I’m always
describing them as annoying. Is it my
fault that every time I pick a kid up at elementary school and see the smug
high schoolers next door thinking they’re so cool because they’re on the
garbage school basketball team that I think something like “hey buddy, you’re
not so cool. I could take you easily in
a game to eleven”? Ok, it might be a
little. I’ll have to work on this. To the movie.
A little kid finds there
dog mutilated in the backyard and his mom absolutely loses her mind. No one
seems to care, especially these two teen sisters that have a suicide pact
together. There's some beast going around town killing everyone's dogs. Poor dogs, why couldn’t it just kill high
school kids? Still working on it. One night the death obsessed girls are
attacked and the older one, Ginger, gets bitten all over the place but gets away
when the beast gets killed by a truck while crossing the street.
Bridgette and Ginger make it
home and Ginger with miraculously already healing. Calling it healing might be
a stretch though when we see that there's hair growing out of the wounds on her
shoulder. Gingers personality starts changing (she went from goth to skank) and
the sisters who were once super close fall apart. Oh and one day Bridgette sees
that Ginger is starting to grow a tail.
About a month in an almost
completely transformed werewolf Ginger kills the neighbors dog and roughs up
the guy she's banging. He starts turning into a wolf next. Bridgette decides to do something about it and
starts working on a cure for Ginger. Also the tail is super gross. Ginger goes
to school and kills the janitor and guidance counselor. Only the counselor
deserved it.
Bridgette goes to the to
the big Halloween party and snags Ginger as she's turning into a hairy beast.
Bridgette and her drug dealer acquaintance fight Ginger inside her house. The
dealer dies first and then after a solid showdown, wolf Ginger takes a knife to
the chest. Even though it was a monster, it was still her sister so everyone's
sad.
Rating: 6.0 There are
good things about this movie and there are also not so good things. It’s a refreshing change up to the dark and
brooding tones that I’m used to seeing in werewolf movies. It’s also basically the horror version of
Clueless with worse acting. You see,
good and bad. The ending makes up for
the rest of the movie at least. Good
looking werewolves too (as in scary not attractive).
Favorite Scene: The final hunt down in the basement. Not using CGI made it a lot better.
Memorable Lines: “Wrists are for girls. I’m slitting my throat”. Metal.
What I would’ve done as the main character: Can’t think of a
whole lot I would’ve done differently. I
would’ve made my trap for Ginger a little cleverer and actually got the cure
into her. She was super close to her
sister and her actions made quite a bit of sense. Good job writer.
What happens in the sequel:
The whole high school basketball team is made up of werewolves.
The transformation of a werewolf. First she's a normal goth girl
She transcends to popularity in her next form, the skank
Here you can see the never misdiagnosed six-head stage
Finally we have the complete werewolf
