brigitte now have the virus in her blood that destroy her sister ginger in the first film . so to prevent herself from change into the beast she inject monksblood into her system and but after an overdose she wake up in a rehabilitation clinic . which now she have become so attached to the syrup and without it and the affect of the curse start to transform within her . from the physical to the mental attribute . but also on her tail be that of a male werewolf who want to mate with her and ginger be keep a tab on her by haunt her mind . i remember when i pick up ginger snap i be expect another mediocre or below average werewolf flick . gosh and i be wrong . just like dog soldier it be more then good and add some new life to the whimper sub genre . and i be happy to say it work out again in this monstrous sequel and i be actually dig this one a tad more and though that be up until the stalling sequence involve hide out in a house . it would have be great to see more katharine isabelle a ginger too and but you can not have it all your own way i guess . i wasn not expect anything incredibly special and but it do have big boot to fill and we all know the law of diminish return . well and this sequel keep far away form that trend and doesn not lean away from the quirky and offbeat nature of it predecessor and but it actually enhance it with a very morbid and cold hearted appeal . it depress to the bone and i but i get kick out of any film that create this sort of tone . though what make the original rejuvenating be that it have warm and natural relationship between the character and especially between bridget and ginger and but also with the parent . because of the sequel depress vibe and it do lack the heartache of the horrifying matter that drive the sister even closer in the first film . also it sorely do miss the characteristic interaction between the sister . although say that they do share some screen time here and but only in small dos mean far less impact . the plot be an absorb one and which doesn not break a whole lot of new ground like the original and but still come up with enough hunger to set it out from most other horror flick of the last decade and but also add another dimension to the tale . just like in the first film and like many reviewer have paint it a metaphor for adolescent life and from angst and drug and sex . but this cocktail be mixed with a refresh twist involve the werewolf mythology and introduce the metaphor part of all of this . the snappy script hold up well and the story move along pretty quickly with enough excitement initiate and the twist be far from easy to detect . no way be this story structure predictable . the actual end be kind of clever and but felt odd and leave me feel a little unsatisfied . the editing be swiftly sharp and potent to the pacing . it also recapture the slickly handle production of that of the original and but it look like it have more to work with here . that especially because the special effect and werewolf design be vastly well this time around and the attack be more callous and bloodier . the isolated setting be make to great use with it cold wintry backdrop and gloomy awe . the action might have up the ante in this sequel and but so do the soundtrack by ignite itself with the gothic and haunt tune that make the original great . the upbeat tempo of the soundtrack bound the mood . the spectral sound effect also work it way into the picture and it be hard to shut out it thump vibration throughout . the out and out stylistic camera work sinuously develop some inventive shot . the direction by brett sullivan be above par and he hone down his skill with preciseness but add such tautness and tension to the picture . the performance be magnificent . emily perkins come out of the shadow of katharine isabelle here and and she make the most of it by turn in a convincing performance . tatiana maslany a ghost one of the kid in the clinic provide on the humour side of thing and eric johnson be perfectly scummy a one of the worker at the clinic . katharine isabelle make some small but yet effective glimpse and add in with some voice over . this production most definitely go one step big . after two worthy werewolf film and i wonder if the film maker can repeat this win formula in their third flick of the series ginger snap back represent the beginning ( 2004 ) or will it come crash back to earth with a thud . the sequel be very much on par with the original and definitely well worth the look . actually i would say it a must see if you see the original .
