InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
WakenPayne The Original For Me Is A Flat Out 10/10, It Was Fantastic At What It Was Trying To Do So Essentially I Went To See The Sequel.Now A Few Things Didn't Make Sense, First Of All The Character Ghost, She Had This Twist And It Ruined The Movie, I Would've Preferred It If She Was The Same As We Meet Her, Other Films Like "Dead Bodies" Suffer From This And Both Films Oddly Enough Have The Same Rating Of 7.I Also Thought Ginger Should've Made More Of An Appearance Being As That This Is Her Film Trilogy, Yes She Died In The First One But She Played "The Bushman Role" To Brigette(That Is A Reference For Anyone Who Reads Comics; Moon Knight Killed Bushman In An Alley And Later Bushman Appears As A Hallucination To Moon Knight To Traumatise Him).Overall This Isn't A Fantastic Movie Yet This Is A Pretty Good 7/10, Soon I'll Watch "Ginger Snaps Back" But Being As That GSB Is The Lowest Rated I Won't Expect A Masterpiece.
Leofwine_draca This follow up to the cult werewolf original is about on par with the first film. With her werewolf sister dead and herself infected by the curse, teen Brigitte is checked into a mental asylum where her fellow inmates turn out to be just as odd as she herself is. With group masturbation sessions on the schedule and another werewolf roaming the grounds, she soon realises that her stay at the asylum is going to be anything but uneventful.The film's tone is weird throughout. The scriptwriters take a delight in presenting kooky characters, and there's a certain Lynchian atmosphere to the proceedings. Emily Perkins is once again an unusual, slightly ethereal lead, but Katharine Isabelle's scenes as a ghost don't really work. The film's more interesting when it focuses on the supporting cast, from the young blonde girl Ghost caring for her badly burned relative to the sleazy staff members.GINGER SNAPS: UNLEASHED incorporates a number of different genres into its story. It's full of teen angst to begin with, and then becomes an asylum flick with all the oddness you'd expect. The addiction thread remains strong and then, finally, it reveals itself as a monster movie at the climax, although that's where it's weakest; it works better earlier on, dealing with stuff that isn't by now way too familiar from dozens of other similar films.
tl12 As a minor in the United States you can not be detained against will except with the permission of, or action by your parent/s or guardian/s. As a minor you also may be detained against your will by court order or held for a short period in police custody before any charges are filed.You CAN NOT be detained by a "rehab" facility against your will for any reason except one of the above. Also, no one would be sent to rehab for using a non-illegal non-narcotic, non-hallucinatory plant extract. Lastly, since no effort is made to find her true identity, they don't even know if she IS a minor. A State Attorney General would close this place without a thought and the staff could well be tried on kidnapping and false imprisonment charges.The movie revolves around the idea that any place can find you on the street, kidnap and illegally detain you and on top of that never notify the police. This was such a glaring error that I just could not get in to the rest of the movie.
Boba_Fett1138 Can't really say that this is a bad movie but it also isn't exactly one that strikes me as anything great. It does everything well but at the same time this movie just isn't being that interesting or exciting enough. It's not like the movie is doing an awful lot wrong but its settings and story just prevents this movie from ever becoming a great one or one that will leave a lasting impression.You could say that more than half of this movie is used as a build-up. Quite pointless if you ask me, since you already know where the story will be heading to, especially when you also have already seen the first movie. It just doesn't help much that the settings during the first half are being really restrained and not enough excitement is happening. It's not like the movie is boring or anything and it also never drags or annoys but looking back at it, it still was all being pretty pointless and just not that interesting.Main thing that this entire series is being known for is that it's using werewolfism as a metaphor for puberty. It continues to do so with this movie, by also adding in some more drug and sex related issues this time. But perhaps you have to be a girl or woman to really relate to any of the themes presented in this movie because I couldn't really.I think I would had really liked this movie much better if it was a more straight-forward one with its horror themes and not so much a mysterious and vague one with all of its metaphors and other stuff that constantly makes you wonder what is being real and what's not in this movie.Really not a bad movie but still just not my sort of thing, I guess, since the series is still being quite popular and loved these days, by many others.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
