Description
To kick off Femme Fatale February, we are doing a legendary Canadian indie film: Ginger Snaps.
This film transposes the experience of puberty with lycanthropy (werewolfism). As always, we go through the kill count, trivia, and for this one, some actual scholarly articles. So if you are only here from a Google search because of a stupid paper you are writing, we have got you covered.
The film was directed by John Fawcett (The Dark, Orphan Black). Fawcett also conceptualized the film, before handing off writing duties to Karen Walton (Queer as Folk, Flashpoint).
The film stars Katharine Isabelle (See No Evil 2, American Mary, Freddy vs. Jason), as the titular Ginger. Her sister, Brigitte is played by Emily Perkins (Stephen King's It, Supernatural, Insomnia).
There are some notable side characters played by Mimi Rogers (X-Files) and Jesse Moss (Tucker & Dale vs. Evil).
This film admirably avoids relying on practical effects. What do you think of the pale, hairless, multi-tittied werewolf?
