Ginger Snaps (2000): One of the Smartest Modern Werewolf Movies
By 2000, the werewolf desperately needed something new.
Ginger Snaps found it.
The movie centers on sisters Ginger and Brigitte, teenage outsiders whose lives change when Ginger is attacked by a strange animal.
Her transformation arrives alongside another transformation already happening in her life: adolescence.
That's where Ginger Snaps becomes more than another monster movie.
The werewolf curse becomes a metaphor for changing bodies, sexuality, alienation and the terrifying experience of becoming someone different.
But don't worry.
There's still plenty of blood.
Night 25 brings us into modern werewolf cinema with one of the genre's most acclaimed reinventions.
