Ginger Snaps, directed by John Fawcett and written by Karen Walton, is a unique and unforgettable Canadian werewolf feature that blends horror, coming-of-age themes, and dark humor, with a focus on the terrifying experience of transformation. The story follows two outsider sisters, Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and Brigitte (Emily Perkins), whose lives take a horrific turn when Ginger is bitten by a vicious nocturnal beast. As Ginger's transformation begins, Brigitte must struggle to save her sister while also battling her own impending fate. (FULL BLU-RAY REVIEW HERE)

The film’s fresh approach to the struggles of adolescence, with themes of bodily autonomy, female identity, and the complex bond between siblings, led to two sequels: Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004) and Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004), which continued to explore the tragic, supernatural world introduced in the original.


Join AC and his panel of hairy-scary enthusiasts (Jessalyn Abbott, Daniel Ekholm, Nicola McCafferty, Tim Palace) as they celebrate a movie packed with standout performances, amazing special effects, and a script that blends horror with emotional depth. 25 years after its release, Ginger Snaps retains its bite!
