Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed


Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004)
Seen on DVD 31st August 2008

I absolutely love "Ginger Snaps" but unfortunately the sequels aren't available anywhere that i can find, so this copy of Ginger Snaps 2 is borrowed from Leilah! (snaps for Leilah)


* This IS a sequel so I'm going to SPOIL the first one for you if you haven't seen it.


STORY: 6/7
- (We can't fight what's in us, B)

So Brigitte has infected herself and Ginger is dead. Most stories probably wouldn't look into what happens next and that's why this is GREAT! B is dosing on monkshood on a daily basis. She is forced to shave her entire body and time how long it takes for a wound to heal. If all of this isn't bad enough, she has become aware that another werewolf is tracking her, with the intention of mating. When she overdoses on the monkshood she finds herself incarcerated in a rehabilitation clinic where she will no longer be able to run.

ACTING: 6/7
- (You're starting to understand, aren't you? How it all starts with wanting?)

Emily Perkins is unbearably good reprising her role as B. The first time around she got to play it naive and scared but this time around she is a LOT darker, always a step ahead and just a little bit sinister. Tatiana Maslany is mentionable as "ghost." A very dark, mysterious and annoying little girl.

CINE / VISUAL EFFECTS: 4.5/7
It's all about the werewolf really. He's big and hairy with teeth!
B also grows her own impressive set teeth.

* The male wolf finds Brigitte *


SCORE / SOUND: 5/7

SONGS: N/A

GORE RATING: 4.5/7

OVERALL: 5.5/7
