Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Lawbolisted Powerful
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
adnan tanvir Didn't plan to review it but after watching it, couldn't help it, just to tell how bad the movie is. The first 'Ginger Snaps' is one of my favorite horror film of all time. Just watching the first part, I made decision to watch the other parts. The second part 'Ginger Snaps-Unleashed' was watchable but not great. But then comes 'Ginger Snaps Back: The beginning' which is a total flop and a waste of time. After watching this, the first question that came to my mind is, why? Why did they make this one? It is not entertaining, not horror , not thriller, not suspenseful, nothing. It had all negative sides that a film could possibly have. The plot was completely garbage. It destroyed the image of the first 'Ginger Snaps' which was great in all the directions and it is quite opposite. The original 'Ginger Snaps' was from first to last full of horror and suspense.This was not. I watched this movie at night alone in my room which is in a corner of the house and I was not scared. I couldn't get a clue who is killing who and why? Why they are so unconscious when they know that there are deadly creatures surrounding them? Bottom line is, don't watch this movie if you like the original 'Ginger Snaps' and if you consider your time valuable.
jodavis-2 i really loved the whole concept back in 1815 and the sisters where the same age as in the first and second installment. i never seen the first or second, i started with the prequel first and got me really interested in the others. if your in to dark fairy tales like the brother grim type of stuff you should give it a chance and i heard this was the weakest one out of the 3, so really looking forward to it.the way this film was shot was very gloomy on the woods of Canada, it had a horror feeling to it, with not a lot of blood for gore hounds but enough to keep you wanting more. the acting was great especilally with the sisters. it's a great rainy day movie to create the perfect feeling for this movie so i suggest you give it a shot, i give it 7/10
lastliberal I haven't seen the first two films in this series, but that is unimportant as this third film takes place 200 years before the first one.I am always drawn to films about werewolves and vampires. The shapeshifters have always intrigued me and the overt sensuality of the films is a plus. I say sensuality, as there is not sexuality in the roles of the two sisters, Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and Brigette (Emily Perkins). They just exude sensuality in their every move and manner of dress.Other than the two stars, and some Native American legend, this is pretty much just the same werewolf film you have ever seen in a different package.I am now ready to watch the first two.
MartianOctocretr5 Trying to be clever with a double meaning title, somebody named this horror movie after a cookie, which suggested that it would be a horror satire. It isn't. Better than average for a Sci-Fi channel offering, the movie actually is pretty adept at telling its story, which finds some new slants on the werewolf theme.The acting is above par from this cast of unknowns, who all make the story interesting and believable. The scripting gives both logical foundation for what happens later, yet darts into some surprising directions you might not expect. Although there's a pretty high body count, and the identities of who's going to get it are usually obvious, the story is unique enough to make that problem not matter much.There are several subplots that are weaved together rather professionally, and the relationship of the sisters and how it relates to the everything else that is happening is told well and acted out well. The story is ripe with legends and character interaction that keep things moving along at a brisk pace for the most part.Minor problems: the clichéd cleric guy who spouts out "Witch! Witch!" accusations; a very poorly written character, and the soldier boy bullies at the fort; also a cop-out cliché to set up some unnecessary conflicts. People who find themselves in a life-and-death situation pull together, not apart, as depicted here.Low budget, but usually good. A pretty decent flick for fans of werewolf and zombie movies.
