LOVED IT BETTER THAN THE 1ST! MY NEW FAVORITE MOVIE!
Added 11/6/2009
I L-O-V-E-D THIS MOVIE! Yes, I have seen the first one which was more of a dark comedy and a little hip, but this movie blew me away. Emily Perkins can do no wrong and I wish that she were in more movies. She is way underrated as an actress. GS2 is far more serious than the first one in a good way. I considered it a werewolf movie for adults. It was well written, clever and kept my attention the whole way through up to the unexpected end. I never was a werewolf movie kinda guy, but this movie changed my mind. I also recommend DIARY OF THE DEAD which is an awesome zombie movie.

I saw these movies out of order from when they were made. I watched The Beginning (set in the fort) first, and this one second. I liked this so much primarily because it was so completely different than the other one, having the modern setting of the institution. The bad guys are not exactly what we expect in this (referring to the particular character that shapes the ending). This movie has great special effects, complex characters, and a lot of surprises with one gigantic surprise ending that I loved because it was unpredictable though we were given several foreshadow clues. I don't usually like horror films but I will watch this again.

Lacks focus and strays too far from the first
Added 5/10/2009
Ginger Snaps Unleashed isn't completely bad, but it has a lot of flaws that might annoy fans. First off monkshood is no longer cure for lycanthropy it just slows down the process, so Brigitte who was left infected at the end of the first movie now needs to inject it daily while she searches for a cure. Pretty early on the movie sets up that there's a werewolf after Brigitte and that its presence somehow speeds up her transformation, but after the initial encounter it's basically forgotten (until much later on in the film). Ginger appears randomly throughout the film to Brigitte as a hallucination, but her appearances are so rare, sporadic, and pointless that they never add anything to the movie. During most of the film they attempt to build a relationship between Ghost and Brigitte and establish Ghost as an innocent (but strange girl). Thanks to some "not so subtle hints" it's way too obvious that she's anything but innocent... which makes it hard to be shocked when her true self is revealed. The movie tries to cram a lot of action into the final third, and although it's enjoyable it's just too late to save it. Ginger Snaps 2 is decent, it just lacks focus and strayed too far from the first. If you're a fan of Ginger Snaps it's definitely worth watching at least once.

it's Shlocktastic!!
Added 3/9/2009
Well, we were having a sluggy weekend hanging out, eating commercial baked goods and doing a whole lot o' nothing when we found this and the "prequel", "Ginger Snaps Back" on the Sci-fi channel. My wife loves the schlock and was glued to the tv for the prequel, then this morsel of goodness. Perhaps if we had seen Ginger Snaps, we'd have felt differently, but we really couldn't believe what we were seeing! The production values and acting were, well, hideous. Isn't there ever any daylight in Canada, eh? The plot, and especially the ending, were bizarre. Lots of laughing involved with watching this. Sadly, I was carbed out on the afore-mentioned baked goods, so I was unable to properly self medicate with beer, 6 or so of which would have been required to totally enjoy (sit through) this movie. I'm amazed at how popular this movie is! But that's also a great thing. Definitely a different strokes kind of thing.
