Ginger Snaps

So I finally rented this dog. With the exception of its clever title and the concept of linking the werewolf transformation with the hormonal overload of adolescence -- this movie sucked.

Bad acting. Logic holes wide enough to land a space shuttle. The characters simply react in ways that are inconsistent with, well, reality. I had high hopes for this one -- but became bored and impatient with it at the midway point.

Why can't someone make a halfway descent werewolf movie? (Dog Soldiers being a notable exception).

Booo-urns! I love the Ginger Snaps trilogy, and the original is one of my favorite horror movies of all time. It's also ranked pretty high on the HDC Top 100 list.

Did you even watch it? I highly doubt you did.

Because if you did, you wouldnt be saying bullshit. That movie franchise has been one of the sweetest in recent times.

My suggestion :- If you have really seen it once, put it back in again, sit back alone and enjoy it. I m sure you ll come running back here with a completely different opinion next time I see you in HDC.

Haven't seen it, so I am unable to say anything about it one way or the other.

I really want to see it. My biggest problem is that at my local blockbuster, it's always checked out. I also can't seem to find it at any stores, and if I did, I'm broke anyway. I'm screwed. :(

Haha, I think my mom thinks it's a porn film. Everytime it comes on TV and I go to watch it, she says "We aren't watching that mess." And thus it becomes a pain in the ass.
