The bottom line is that Ginger Snaps: Unleashed is a solid, effective horror movie. And that's not an entirely common thing these days. 

The resulting film is hardly a masterpiece, but Ginger Snaps II: Unleashed is nonetheless swift, efficient, and meticulous. Not just not-bad for a sequel, it offers something beyond the still, meditative ineptitude that continues to poison Canadian cinema, far outstripping its predecessor in the process.

The sense of ironic humor and creeping dread of the original are mostly gone, and Ginger 2 ends up as a much more conventional horror/thriller, with cheap fright gags and straightforward gore.

...a well-paced horror whose slick, exhilarating action sequences are a significant improvement over the original. 

--Catharine Tunnacliffe (Eye.net)

A good sequel, but a lot more was expected from it. There's not much werewolf-action as the first had and it mainly plays as a drama-type, because it basically deals just with Brigette and her attempting to hold back her transformation. Despite all that,I still enjoyed it. Recommended if you want a continuation of the Ginger Snaps story, otherwise prepare yourself to be let down if you're looking for a lot of gore and action. 7/10

Sequel to the 2000's cult hit, Ginger Snaps, is lacking the strong feminist themes and heady scripting of the original to take a more straightforward horror approach, but it's still a quite watchable time.

Hell, it's no DOG SOLDIERS, but it is one of the better Werewolf movies to come out in the past few years - as was its predecessor. Don't let the ravings of a few fanboys overly-inflate your expectations, and enjoy it for what it is.

In the end, Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed is definitely a flawed film, and definitely not one as good or as original as the first film. Still, the thing gets the full five stars from me, because it succeeds in what it is trying to do admirably well, and that’s to give the audience a dark, scary ride.  --David Hollands (eFilmCritic.com) "Ginger Snaps 2" lacks all the irreverent humor of the original. The attempts at seriousness simply come off as weak and poorly executed.  --John Rice (eFilmCritic.com) If anything, this film is "less than" original, and barely equal in value to the first flick - personally I loved the first film, but I want more in a sequel. The anticipation I felt in believing that I would see Brigette transform throughout the film, like Ginger did, left me feeling disappointed to the full extent.  --Mr Disgusting (Bloody-Disgusting.com) ...(Unleashed) tackles new themes and directions. The tone of the film is much darker than the original but it still retains its wicked sense of humor.  --Mike Pereira (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
