31 Posts Of Halloween: Ginger Snaps


Ginger Snaps is a Canadian Horror film that came out in 2000 staring Emily Perkins as Brigitte, and Katharine Isabelle as Ginger.


In this cult classic, we follow two teen sisters, Brigitte and Ginger as they like to make some, artistic photos of the subject which is death. Now one night as they are out and about going to scare one of their classmates, as one would do, Ginger is attacked by a werewolf. Then things get really interesting.
Ginger Snaps is a fantastic indie film, that has the right amount of cheese factor to it that it works. There's some clunky dialogue and some of the lighting and camera work is a little off, but overall it's not bad.
One of the best things in this film though, is the use of practical effects. I mean this film practically excels in their use of practical effects, to the point that I think that this film has the best werewolf transformation in any movie ever. It's completely stunning how real some of these effects truly look. If you're into the technical side of filmmaking at all you will absolutely freaking love how they go about with the werewolf transformation. Some of the effects are very subtle, and you will only notice them if you are paying close attention.
For a movie that acts serious, there are a couple of good jokes hidden throughout the film, but they are few and far between.
Emily Perkins as Brigitte and Katharine Isabelle as Ginger, give memorable performances. There characters are unique enough they stand out just in the right way.
If you like a good werewolf flick for Halloween and you haven't seen Ginger Snaps, then this movie is a must see. I personally had a lot of fun watching this film, and I think that you might too.


final score: 3.5/5

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The ...
