    In the generic Canadian suburb of Bailey Downs live Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and Brigitte (Emily Perkins), 15-year-old sisters committed to introversion, menstruation anxiety, and terminal misanthropy. Three years late for their first period, they spend their time staging gruesome death scenes for their own amusement, amidst the willful ignorance of their relentlessly perky mother (Mimi Rogers). On the night Ginger finally gets her period, the sisters are attacked in the woods by a ferocious creature that may have some connection to "The Beast of Bailey Downs," a predator currently disemboweling its way through the local dog population. The girls survive the attack, and Ginger's wounds heal quickly, but her attitude grows even more bizarre, as hair sprouts from her scars and a tail grows from her spine. Adding to the terror, she starts dating boys. A panicked Brigitte forces herself to befriend Sam (Kris Lemche), the high school pot supplier, whose brand of ganja may be the only cure for Ginger's troubling ailment. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

    December 31, 2008: Okay so first off I like the movie.....I like the part where in the beginning of the movie as the movie is rolling in the credits....as a viewer you start to see blood...as the girls made a movie for a class project...you see them in weird odd places that represent death.....you start to get a feel of sisterly bonding...then as the movie goes about the transformation of the sister becoming a werewolf and how the other sister tries not to lose her sister...this movie is great...i love the them song to it and i recommend other people to watch it!

    I Also Recommend: Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed, Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed, Ginger Snaps: The Beginning, Ginger Snaps: The Beginning.

    November 03, 2008: In the film, you follow sisters Brigitte and Ginger. One night, Ginger is attacked by an wolf-like creature and slowly, she begins to show animalistic behaviors and features...such as a tail and fur. Now, the two are trying to find a way to save her before she turns into one of them and loses her human mind forever.

    Now, I can't say this is the best movie I've ever seen but I did enjoy it. It's definitely a B-movie and many people will probably be tempted to just put it back on the shelf and walk away but it really is worth watching. The graphics for the werewolves and even for the dead things you'll see in this movie aren't exactly top notch but they're not plain out awful.
    Of course, like in any horror-genre movie, you'll see things that you'll probably chuckle at and roll your eyes, since it's so "believable." One moment that comes to mind...someone gets attacked and basically bleed probably 3 bodies worth of blood, yet when they're seen again, they're still alive! Yep. That stuff. Now don't let that steer you away from the movie because it's not that. I'm simply saying it does have its shares of those moments.

    Then you have the parts that are just flat out creepy to watch, such as the photography the two girls use for school. They're photos of death, each one being of one of them having been killed by something. And it looks a little too realistic. Can we say creepy?

    The plot is basic, yes. About the same as any other werewolf movie you might expect. But there's something about this one that makes it stand out. It's truly a good movie. Some may find it stupid but I honestly think most will find it to be mediocre to great, somewhere in between.

    Here you have a movie that's:
    - Heavy on gore
    - Pretty good on character development
    - Generic on plot (nothing that goes Wow!)
    - Fair on the creepy-ness

    Despite the downsides, I do recommend this movie. It's fresh for the werewolf topic that's been beaten like a dead horse and it really seems to bring something new to the table. Don't pass it up. It really is a good horror flick that many seem to overlook.
