Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (DVD, 2004)

Great B horror movie.
Bought for a friend's birthday, one of his fav's. Not as good the Howling but still a great Warewolf movie. If your into warewolf's this is one to watch.

This movie is funny, creepy, scarry, and badass! It is not too over the top, and the wolves could be more realistic, but it is a fun flick! I am buying all three of the Ginger Snaps films!

CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!! The same thing in a regular store is a lot more money AND it's special order. On Ebay it was available right away. What I did NOT like about it was that the merchant accidentally charged me twice for it, but that incident was promptly resolved.

I love the fast shipping and delivery. The price is very reasonable and the movie is great. Yes, I will and would buy from again. Ruby Ray rubycats46

I like this film because it has an interesting storyline to go with the wolfiness, it's Canadian, so the scenery is beautiful. It's a very entertaining story that is well acted, this one is the third in the series yet made as a prequel, a good investment for any werewolf afficianados.

Arrived very quickly as promise. The movie is about two sisters one orginally infected by a werewolf virus and trying to keep this secret from the other men in the camp

the plot was stupid and it was nothing,compared to the first two. there was no excitement, it just didnt catch my attention at all, i couldnt get into it.

You can read my other reviews about Canada VS Hollywood on movies and why Canada has an edge over U.S. on the 'Thriller-Horror' marker (-: OK - Ginger Snaps back... I pasted the review it's as follows...

The sisters are back and this time they've travelled back in time, manifest in one of their previous incarnations. Orphans traveling across the Canadian wilderness by horseback during the 19th Century, the girls encounter a recked Indian campsite where one remaining inhabitant issues a strange prophetic warning, the first of many mysterious encounters to come. When the sisters take refuge at a trading fort populated only by men, they soon learn of the monstrous beasts in the outlying land that menace the men both physically and mentally, as many seem to be moving towards madness and all seem to have something to hide. Ginger is bitten by a little boy and starts slowly changing. The sisters realize they must work to solve the prophecy before its too late. This film, providing a backstory for characters introduced in the first two films of the series, offers stunning cinematography by Michael Marshall, known for his work with gifted Canadian director Guy Maddin, and superb performances by all the actors, including many respected indie stars. The series has been a cult favorite since the first GINGER SNAPS in 2000, and this film is more than just another werewolf horror flick; it has a little of everything: fantastic gore and great action with a challenging script that has real emotion, all depicted with a beautifully Gothic aesthetic.

My over all opinion. If you liked the first two... RUN OUT AND BUY!! I did. Also Emily Perkins is a 'hottie' in her own off beat way. So... I'd have patronized her and bought the dvd anyway! (-:

Ginger Snaps was a revelation to me. I had passed by it several times and - from the cover and info - it looked like the slick horror typical of the 90's+. So when I finally watched on a movie channel it blew me away! The story of 2 oddball sisters whose close encounter with a wild animal has one turning into a werewolf.

This film - the 3rd in the series - is like the other 2 never happened. It stands alone since it explains everything and the sisters begin untouched. The girls are survivors of a shipwreck where they lost their parents. Lost in the woods in the dead of winter, they make it to an outpost in the Canadian wilderness. Too bad for them - it seems like the outpost is under siege. Werewolves attack at night and will not stop until everyone is dead.

Excellent art direction, the script is sharp, smart, funny, it has everything! The actresses are superb as in all the Ginger movies. Highly recommended, even if you have not watched the other Ginger Snaps movies - why haven't you?! - this one can be watched out of sequence.

out of all three GS films, i liked this one the best. dont get me wrong, i really enjoyed all three, but this one seemed like it fit the whole werewolf theme most appropriately. it answered where the disease came from (where the 1st film didn't), all of the acting was good, the camera work and just the way it was shot (lighting-wise/ shot composition/ and filter usage) was excellent. and the overall transformation and bond of the 2 sisters seemed much more fleshed out. i wish they would do some sort of sequel to the third film and start a franchise off of it. and after that revisit the original storyline again after a major rewrite to the ending of the second film, it made me sad at how pathetic they made the true heroin of the story.

I AM A FAN OF THE GINGER SNAPS MOVIES, THIS ONE HOWEVER JUST DID NOT HOLD UP TO THE FIRST TWO! I REALLY THOUGHT THIS ONE WOULD OUT-SHINE THE 2ND, (NOT THE FIRST, IT IS CLASSIC) BUT IT DID NOT, IT IS STILL A GOOD HORROR MOVIE, CAN BE A LITTLE CONFUSING AT TIMES, BUT IF YOU LIKED THE FIRST TWO YOU WOULD PROBERLY ENJOY THIS ONE TOO, BUT IF YOU ARE A BIG FAN OF THE FIRST TWO LIKE ME, YOU BE A LITTLE DISSAPOINTED! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OF THE GINGER SNAPS MOVIE YOU COULD STILL WATCH THIS ONE AND NOT EVEN KNOW IT WAS THE 3RD MOVIE OF A TRILOGY!

I bought this to complete the trilogy . Already had the first two . I really like the story . The writers dug pretty deep here . Going back in Canadian history , as well as creating some history of their own , as well as Indian folklore . I'm part Cherokee , and this appeals to me . The special effects were good and the werewolves looked pretty realistic , not overdone like in some other movies . I do , however , think they could have done a better job on the Captain's little boy . Didn't really look like a werewolf , looked more like a mutant or something . Overall , I really like this movie , as well as the other Ginger Snaps .
