Plot: Brigitte (Emily Perkins) and Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) are unusual sisters. For a school project they take pictures of each other in various suicide poses that look frighteningly realistic. No other students will talk to them. Ginger is almost sixteen, Brigitte a year younger, but they are in the same classes, and neither of them has gotten her period yet. They do virtually everything together--in fact, their motto is "Together Forever"--until one night Ginger gets attacked by the Beast of Bailey Downs, which previously had been killing and eviscerating dogs. And Ginger then begins to change....John Fawcett's debut feature film is everything a good horror film should be--creepy, weird, oddly funny, sexy, and very bloody, with its conclusion taking place on Halloween night.

Canada’s best horror movie by far, Ginger Snaps is the horror movie to see. A cult classic already it's one of the, if not the, best were-wolf movie of all time, it really is that good and it doesn't require any fancy transformation scenes or silver bullet shootouts, just a great story, great characters and a desire to make a really good film.--Sonny Fernandez (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
Packed with lots of intelligent black humour and with two unknown leads that are very very good this is an engrossing and witty horror flick that's directed with kinetic energy and is original enough to be one of my most recommended horror films of 2000.The sarcastic script doesn't pull any punches and that's a big reason this works so well.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
A comedy Ginger Snaps sort of is, bad it definitely is not. It's a well-directed and exceedingly well-acted thriller that interprets the werewolf myth as a symbol of puberty and all its associated fears. 72/100--Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
"Ginger" was one of the funniest, cleverest and finest horror films of 2001. ... The kind of comedy/fear flicks that really needs to be seen with an audience for maximum impact, it was the most original genre film since "The Blair Witch Project." I dare call it a classic.-- (eSplatter.com)

The movie contains two plots which work together to make it enjoyable for everyone. It goes from a teen flick to a bloody disgusting as hell flick while you blink, with some extra little things that'll make you cringe.....a definite see !!!  --Mr Disgusting (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
One of the best werewolf flicks that have come in a long while. Recommended for any horror fan. 8/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
