Ginger Snaps

Screening as part of Enzian’s 13+ Films of Halloween!

Fifteen-year-old Brigitte Fitzgerald (Emily Perkins, STEPHEN KING’S IT, JUNO) and her nearly-sixteen-year-old sister Ginger (Katharine Isabelle, FREDDY VS. JASON, AMERICAN MARY) are both best friends and outcasts. Obsessed with dying and bound by a childhood pact to stay together forever, they loathe their mind-numbing existence in the suburbs of Bailey Downs. One the night of Ginger’s first period, the two girls are heading through the woods when Ginger is savagely attacked by a wild creature.

Ginger’s horrible wounds miraculously heal over, but something is not quite right about her. Ginger is irritable and in denial. But to Brigitte, it is obvious that a terrifying force has taken hold of her sister. She’s convinced that the insatiable craving her sister is experiencing can mean only one thing: Ginger is becoming something unspeakably evil and monstrous.

Also starring Mimi Rogers (PENNY DREADFUL), Kris Lemche (FINAL DESTINATION 3) and Jesse Moss (TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL), this wicked feminist horror film was created by ORPHAN BLACK Producers John Fawcett and Karen Walton

  • “It deserves a cult following among satire-loving, feminist-minded gore aficionados”

    – Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
  • “The best werewolf movie since "AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON" and the darkest high-school movie since "HEATHERS."

    – Bryant Frazer, DEEP FOCUS
  • “GINGER SNAPS walked so JENNIFER’S BODY could run.”

    – Emily, LETTERBOXD
  • “A smart, resourceful, and wickedly funny teen-horror film that reinvents the werewolf myth as a potent metaphor for pubescent angst and humiliation.”

    – Scott Tobias, AV CLUB
