Other mistake: When the mother, Pamela Fitzgerald, opens the freezer to put in the meat, she is distracted by Bridgette. In the freezer, we see the corpse of Trina. Look at Trina's eyes when we first see her; they seem to widen while Pamela is holding a pack of meat above her.

8.7/10.A well done goth meets werewolf movie.I would say it cemented Katharine Isabelle as a possible scream queen.If anything, the movie respects the lore of werewolves unlike crap like Twilight.The one time I didn't find Minnie Driver irritating even though I wondered how a character so annoyingly cheerful could be mother to two goths.Emily Perkins as the younger sister trying to survive the nightmare impressed me.If anything, it's a pity I haven't heard of her in anything else outside of this and the prequel worth watching.If I were to make a list of the best werewolf movies made Ginger Snaps would be on there alongside Lon Chaney Jr's The Wolfman, An American Werewolf In London, and The Howling.It's pretty chilling.

Pamela Fitzgerald: Beating up girls? Cutting class? I'm very disappointed in you.
Trivia: Due to the somewhat troubled production and limited release, the film didn't have much initial impact in domestic markets such as the US, although it gained a large cult-following overseas. This is likely as a result of the negative attention the film gained due to disasters such as the Columbine shooting, which caused some friction during production. It wasn't until a few years later when the film started airing on pay-channels like HBO or other specialty channels that it started to build an audience in domestic markets.
