Obsessed with dying and bound by a childhood pact to stay together forever, they loathe their mind-numbing existence in the suburbs of Bailey Downs. One night the two girls are heading through the woods when Ginger is savagely attacked by a wild creature. Ginger’s horrible wounds miraculously heal over, but something is not quite right about her. Ginger is irritable and in denial. But to Brigitte, it is obvious that a terrifying force has taken hold of her sister. She’s convinced that the insatiable craving her sister is experiencing can mean only one thing: Ginger is becoming something unspeakably evil and monstrous. Also starring Mimi Rogers (Penny Dreadful),Kris Lemche (Final Destination 3) and Jesse Moss (Tucker & Dale vs. Evil), this riveting funfest was directed by John Fawcett (Orphan Black) and written by Karen Walton (Orphan Black). Review: Heard about this movie a long time... - And am amazed at how good it is yet! The metaphor of monster extends beyond puberty- goes into addiction, divergent paths, teen rebellion, expectation and so much more!- a triumph from a young career film maker! The design of the lycanthrope is really good too, the acting from everyone is in line and fun and well, so many other critics have praised this film, now so do I Review: Werewolf as metaphor - Ginger and Brigitte Fitzgerald are sisters, incredibly close and fascinated with death. They are also complete outcasts at their school because of their weird attitudes and photo projects of their mock deaths. There have been a rash of neighborhood dogs being killed, so Brigitte decides to play a joke on a bitchy classmate (who shoved her into a dead dog). The plan goes awry when the creature killing the dogs attacks Ginger seconds after getting her first period. Ginger survives the attack. Her wounds immediately start to heal at a rapid pace. After the attack, Ginger's behavior changes drastically: she shows interest in boys, smokes pot, exhibits extreme mood swings, and starts to physically change. Brigitte watches her sister in disbelief and is convinced she's turning into a werewolf. Can she convince her sister and find a cure before it's too late? Anyone who knows me well knows that I go through obsessions with books and movies. I will reread or -watch things I really enjoy repeatedly over a period of months sometimes. This is one of my obsessions. This film has just enough camp/cheese, suspense, and good story to be the perfect movie. I love the fresh take on werewolves. I usually seriously hate werewolves because it reduces good characters to competing in pissing contests in the pack and being extremely moody and annoying (see the Anita Blake series and the Twilight Saga). Women are generally not in positions of power in the pack and are treated as inferior or as property, which really makes me angry. This film, thankfully, has no werewolf pack and has a fresh interpretation of werewolves. The Hollywood vision of werewolves transforming at the full moon and being defeated by silver bullets is abandoned. The focus is on the transformation of a teenage girl into a werewolf in the span of a month, as an allegory for womanhood and growing up. The animalistic behavior represents the bodily urges of a young woman. She becomes a different person, as one should in a transition from childhood to adulthood. This is shown physically through her slow transformation into a wolf. Brigitte, since she is still a child, is completely terrified by the transformation. She tries everything she can to stop it, but the advancement in the cycle of life is inevitable. The acting is great. The sisters are completely believable and creepily close at the outset of the film. I personally related to the girls. Who didn't feel isolated or misunderstood in high school? Katharine Isabelle, as Ginger, carries the film well in her change in mood and demeanor as the film progresses. The effects are surprisingly well done, despite being an indie film. There is a lot of blood and gore, plus the deaths of about 4 dogs. The director opted to use prosthetics and makeup to achieve Ginger's transformation which I think worked wonderfully. CGI would have looked way too fake and dated the film. The changes are at first understated not even recognized by the characters. It's not until later in the film that the viewer realizes that the small changes have added up and drastically changed her appearance. I liked that she looked oddly beautiful even in the late stages of her change. The main musical theme is so hauntingly beautiful, featuring a cello in the melody. Similar themes in the movie are nice, but there are some laughably cheesy moments because of other musical motifs. I think the cheesier moments were intentionally poking fun at the teen horror genre. The climactic face-off at the end of the film between Brigitte and werewolf Ginger was so suspenseful. The first time I watched it, I couldn't look away and I was on the edge of my seat. There really isn't anything I didn' t like about Ginger Snaps. One can definitely see its effect in recent cinema, especially in Teeth and (unfortunately) Jennifer's Body. I think Ginger Snaps is what Jennifer's Body really wanted to be, but failed miserably. I hope the tradition of gynocentric horror films continues. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00JJOY41E | | Actors | Emily Perkins, Jesse Moss, Katharine Isabelle, Kris Lemche, Kristopher Lemche | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,722 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #406 in Horror (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,552) | | Director | John Fawcett | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | SFY15081BR | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Anamorphic, Blu-ray, DVD, NTSC, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 2 | | Producers | Karen Lee Hall, Steven Hoban | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.88 ounces | | Release date | July 22, 2014 | | Run time | 1 hour and 30 minutes | | Studio | SHOUT!

Remaining ever obscure to mainstream audiences and never quite catching on with the general public, the film nonetheless managed to build and maintain a small but devoted audience thanks to its delightfully twisted narrative, sharp performances and clever writing. It's a quintessential cult film, through and through. But thankfully in 2014, Shout/Scream Factory rose to the occasion and finally gave this delightful and oft-overlooked film the special edition it deserved! In the Canadian suburbs, the teenage Fitzgerald sisters lead a depressive life. Death obsessed Goths who get their kicks from the twisted and the bizarre, Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and Brigitte (Emily Perkins) are social misfits who just can't fit in. One night, while attempting to pull a mean-spirited prank against their school's resident mean-girl, Ginger is attacked by a mysterious beast, barely managing to escape alive. However, it wasn't just any creature that attacked her... and it soon becomes clear to Brigitte that her sister is slowly starting to transform into a werewolf! At its heart, "Ginger Snaps" is a story about growing up and maturing, using the curse of a werewolf as a clever metaphor for puberty, female sexuality and womanhood. And through these themes, writer Karen Walton and director John Fawcett craft an incredibly wild and entertaining tale that all should be able to relate and identify with, while also expertly blending disturbing body-horror with hilarious black humor to fantastic effect. And this is aided by a remarkable cast, with stars Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle delivering knock-out performances as our two leads. (Special props also go to Mimi Rogers in a brutally funny supporting role as the two's air-headed mom.) And Shout/Scream Factory's Blu-Ray Collector's Edition is by and large the definitive release for this film. To start, the new transfer and restoration is absolutely gorgeous. "Ginger Snaps" has never looked or sounded better. The picture is crisp and clear, and the dreary visual palette is just beautiful to behold in HD. The audio mix is fantastic, and though I don't have a surround sound system, it sounds largely improved over prior DVD releases. And to top it off, there's just a ton of delightful bonus features to round out the disc. This particular set not only includes every single special feature from the prior Canadian Special Edition DVD, but it also homes a host of new content, including some great new retrospective interviews and featurettes. They really went above and beyond for this release, and made a set that's well-worth seeking out, even for those who might already own the film from its prior releases. "Ginger Snaps" might not be a film for everyone. It has a very specific and very unique tone, and approaches the werewolf mythos in a new way. But I absolutely adore it, and would highly recommend it to all open-minded horror fans. It's a fantastic film, and this Blu-Ray is a fantastic way to own it. 5 out of 5. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/5830214-ginger-snaps-collectors-edition-dvd](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/5830214-ginger-snaps-collectors-edition-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
