Ginger Snaps
Directed by John Fawcett
Two death-obsessed sisters, outcasts in their suburban neighborhood, must deal with the tragic consequences when one of them is bitten by a deadly werewolf. Morbid and singular in their small town, Brigitte and Ginger vow to live and die together, but when Ginger is attacked by a werewolf, she grows detached from her sister and embraces a vicious new lifestyle. Written by Karen Walton and directed by ORPHAN BLACK creator John Fawcett, GINGER SNAPS packs dark, affecting themes of family, feminism and oncoming womanhood into a grisly creature feature. A favorite upon release, GINGER SNAPS only grows more ferocious with age, as it takes its rightful place as one of our great werewolf stories. Contains strong language, violence and gore.

A cool little werewolf coming of age flick. I enjoy it whenever I watch it. It’s definitely something you gotta be in the mood for but I appreciate the story.
YEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!
yes.
This movie was eveyrthing I wanted and more: great writing, *phenomenal* acting, a great soundtrack and an excellent commentary on puberty, sex and surving teenage life.
The lycanthropy disease in this movie, along with puberty being around the instance of the bite, really reminds me of STIs and irresponsibility that occurs during sex. I really liked it either way.
