Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

sddavis63 Some years ago, when I watched "Ginger Snaps," I thought it was one of the best werewolf movies that I had seen in a long time. So perhaps it seems pretty strange that I've avoided watching this first sequel - but I've seen enough disappointing sequels that somehow I was reluctant to risk spoiling my memory of the first movie. Well, I finally bit (pun intended) and watched "Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed." It didn't exactly spoil my memory of the first movie. It's not a bad movie. But it's nowhere near as good as the original. I found the first movie had an interesting way of approaching Ginger's transformation into a werewolf, setting it in the context of female puberty and the beginnings of menstruation. In a weird sort of way it was a coming of age movie. It was a fresh way of approaching the whole werewolf idea. That was all missing in "Unleashed." This is a much straighter take on the concept. Ginger, of course, is gone - although Katharine Isabelle does take up the role again as a sort of ghost, I guess, who periodically visits Bridgette. Honestly, while it was nice to include her, the presence of Ginger even in this limited way wasn't really necessary. Emily Perkins is again in the role of Bridgette. She does well with it. She's now being stalked by a werewolf, and she's attempting to prevent her own transformation, injecting herself with monkshood - but it only seems to delay the process, and there is a gradual transformation taking place. Things get worse when she ends up in an institution for drug addicts, and is not allowed to have her "medicine."All that was working well enough. Not as imaginative an approach as the original, but Perkins was doing well carrying the story, and there were enough edge of your seat moments and things that made you jump to make this a decent horror movie. But things do fall apart just a little bit. I personally did not like the character of Ghost, played by Tatiana Maslany. She just didn't appeal to me, and she was too front and centre in the movie, when really Bridgette was the only character in the whole movie that I particularly cared about. One somewhat irritating character aside, this movie did (mostly using the setting of the rehab facility) try to inject some humour into the story. The original was a very successful blend of humour and horror, but this one wasn't able to pull that off. Most of those attempts revolved around Dr. Brookner (Patricia Idlette) - some sort of psychologist or psychotherapist at the centre. But, to me, they didn't come across as funny. Silly more than anything, and forced - often without much connection to the heart of the story. The ending didn't really resolve too much, although it did set up another potential sequel. Strangely, though, the third movie in the series was a prequel of sorts - "Ginger Snaps Back" (which I haven't seen) being set in the 19th century, but still focusing on Ginger and Bridgette.As I said, this isn't a bad movie, and it has some good scenes and a good performance from Emily Perkins. But overall, I'd still call it mediocre at best. (4/10)

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed" was as most sequels are - not as good as its predecessor. And while having said that, don't get me wrong. It is not a bad or boring movie, it just wasn't as good as the first movie.Story-wise then it is a direct continuation of part one, and on that account then part two is good. But it just wasn't wholeheartedly fulfilling in my opinion.Emily Perkins does an okay job in reprising the role as Brigitte. And while Katharine Isabelle is in the movie, her role is a small one, but she still did a good job. But was the Ginger character necessary for this sequel? If you have seen part one, having the dead character appear before her sister was okay. But if you haven't seen part one then it makes very Little sense.After having seen part two I am left with a sense of irrelevance, because the movie, while entertaining enough, just wasn't outstanding or particularly memorable or fulfilling to conclude part one.Compated to part one, then there are less special effects in part two. A thing which hindered the movie, because it would have been nice if the audience was fed more special effects after having been teased with the werewolf design and effects in part one."Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed" is a mediocre movie, and as such scores a flat five out of ten stars from me.

GL84 Sent to a rehabilitation clinic, a teen's growing belief that she will become a werewolf like her sister causes her to go on the run to save her fellow inmates only for the ravenous beast to follow her around.On the whole this one turned out to be a surprisingly decent effort. One of the better elements here is the film's rather entertaining way it handles her growing and oncoming transformation early on, with the film working nicely due to the circumstances present. The process of staying at the rehab clinic makes the oncoming process all the more chilling by wanting to keep it from infecting the others as this one goes about her process with the different body-parts becoming more wolf-like, the slowly-appearing fangs and claws and then the deformed features that begin developing, which along with the rapid healing provides this one with a healthy and chilling beginning to show of the transformation. Likewise, the finale here is quite a blast with a lot to like as the previous attacks set-up a fantastic sense of tension with the early preparation measures and tactics that play out nicely in the home while the scenes move through the various rooms of the house which is quite fun. From the gore to the twisted logic within and allowing for the great werewolf make-up having a chance to really shine here, these are enough to hold off the few flaws in here. One of the bigger problems here is the rather low amount of werewolf action actually put into this one as there's just not a whole lot of here where it really gets to attack. The only early attack scene is plagued by haphazard editing that really makes for a troubling time, which is all this has in terms of werewolf action until the finale anyway so that can wear on some viewers. That is due also to the film's other big flaw in that the first half is once again filled with scenes that don't really make this all too interesting as the scenes in the rehab clinic just don't have anything for them by tying in the change in lycanthropy to a drug relapse. This is similar to the original which tied it to burgeoning femininity, and while this one does manage to come off a little better at doing this, once again the novelty is off-set by the sheer boredom it brings out. Otherwise, this one was quite enjoyable.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity, drug use, violence-against-animals and a scene of group masturbation

atinder I have yet to see the first Ginger snap or any other Ginger snaps movies in the series.I saw this when it came on TV once, all i knew about this movie before I watched it, was that it had something to do with a werewolf.Brigitte seem to be haunted by her dead sister, who a was werewolf too and she will become too but she then takes a deadly second dose of monkshood, which would stop her of changing into werewolf. Jeremy with her library books at her door and he see that she has taken drugs and then is about to take her to the hospital but is attacked.After that She wakes up in rehab clinic for drug abusing girls. she locked up and a little girls know about this and then helps her out to get more drugs to help her not to turn into a werewolf.This was really interesting werewolf movie, I didn't find IT boring, which i thought I would, but it was really entertaining movie,They had some really nasty bloody deaths in here too and i did like how the werewolf looked, it was little scary.The acting from the main girl was really good, the rest of cast was just okay but the little girl acting was really poor. I give this movie 7 out of 10
