BA_Harrison Infected by the blood of her werewolf sister Ginger, runaway teenager Brigitte (Emily Perkins) attempts to fight off her own inevitable transformation into a slavering, hairy monster through the repeated injection of wolf's bane (also known as monkshood). After suffering a bad reaction to the serum, she collapses in the street, and wakes to find herself a patient in the Happier Times Care Centre, a home for recovering drug addicts. Now, unable to access her wolf's bane, Brigitte gradually begins to exhibit signs of wolfishness. Cursed with increasingly pointed ears, haunted by ghostly memories of her sister Ginger (Katharine Isabelle), and hunted by a male werewolf that intends to mate with her, Brigitte puts her trust in weird blonde girl Ghost (Tatiana Maslany), who is fascinated by her condition.The original Ginger Snaps used lycanthropy as a metaphor for puberty, and this follow up continues the theme, Brigitte's gradual transformation into an uncontrollable beast a metaphor for unbridled teenage lust. It's not a particularly insightful or compelling subtext, nor is it all that original—The Company Of Wolves did the same kind of thing twenty years earlier— but it does allow for one of the most unexpected scenes in the history of werewolf cinema, in which Brigitte dreams that she is taking part in an all-girl group masturbation class. Other off-kilter elements that ensure Unleashed is still worth a watch include Ginger's occasional hallucinatory appearances, the film's creepy rehab setting, Ghost's eccentric behaviour, and a bizarre industrial soundtrack.6.5/10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.

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

SnoopyStyle Brigitte (Emily Perkins) is trying to find a cure while experimenting with monkshood. Her dead sister Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) comes to her as a hallucination. Librarian Jeremy (Brendan Fletcher) who has come to see her is attacked by a werewolf and she is knocked unconscious. She is to sent to a rehab facility for girls. The place is full of damaged girls especially Ghost (Tatiana Maslany) who figures out that Brigitte is becoming a werewolf. Attendant Tyler (Eric Johnson) offers to give her monkshood for a price.This movie misses the character of Ginger. Katharine Isabelle makes cameos as a ghost, but it's not the same thing. She supplied the sexuality in the first movie. This is mostly a solo Brigitte movie. Ghost is basically a stranger version of Brigitte. There is one good joke (Lesbian?) in this one. This doesn't deliver the same sense of charm or black comedy. It doesn't lack an overarching theme like female transformation of the original. It is darker, less imaginative, and without the fun of the first. Instead of Ginger's tail, the movie is locked in on Brigitte's ear. It's all a disappointment. Then the last section of the movie leaves the rehab center which is chock full of possible kills for a more limited final act.

Boloxxxi While on the run from a werewolf that has designs on her, Ginger's sister, Bridgette, must shoot up monkshood regularly to prevent herself from becoming a werewolf herself. One evening, sensing her pursuer was gaining on her, she hurriedly packs her things to escape. At the same time, some guy that works at the library that she visited earlier in the day, shows up with some books she wanted; he sees her distressed condition, a hypodermic needle on the floor, and thinks she's a druggy. So he decides to get her help. She winds up later in some kind of rehab/halfway house kind of place deprived of her precious Anti-werewolf injections. She soon learns that the main characters in this place is a dull little chatterbox who could be 12 to 18, who knows. And some staff guy who's leveraging the female inmates for sexual favors.This Ginger Snap is not as snappy (ha,ha) as the previous. It started out promising (like most movies) until the main character got to the rehab place or whatever it was. Not a damn thing interesting happened there ---except, I guess, for the "masturbation class" conducted by the resident therapist to free the girls of their troubles, or something, whatever. It was not explicit but it was very suggestive and I concede I did perk up a bit there (I'm not made of stone, folks). Most of the action is at the very end of the movie and by that time you might be too numb to care. The werewolf in the movie looked like a big stuffed animal, which I'm sure it was, and so not scary at all.Finally, the actress playing Bridgette did a good job I thought. Her intensity and near anorexic appearance (she couldn't be more than a hundred pounds, if that) played well to the role of someone with a huge unusual problem she must bear all by herself. It has made her tough, feisty, eccentric, and maybe even somewhat resentful. She is someone who has no time to eat that much, have friends, or have any fun so consumed she is by the fear of the werewolf in pursuit of her and the werewolf she might herself become. This is only my impression folks and bear in mind that: I KNOW NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. NOTHING at all, I tells ya! Absolutely NOTHING. Love, Boloxxxi.
