Product Description

Ginger Snaps (2000) Like Carrie before it, Ginger Snaps uses horror-movie conventions as an inspired metaphor for puberty. When beautiful but reclusive goth teenager Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) is attacked by a monstrous wolf on the eve of her first period, her body starts changing in a big way, as do her suddenly lusty, feral appetites.

I used to have the Canadian Collector's Edition but I ended up losing that one, this has all of the Special Features as that one plus some newer ones as well. This copy comes with both a Blu ray disc and a DVD disc both with all the identical Special Features shown in the picture I posted. This version is the definitive edition of this movie, I've liked this movie for the past 20 years when I first saw it as a kid in middle school, it hit the nail on the head and was such an underdog movie compared to bigger production movies like Idle Hands and Urban Legend. This movie will always have a special place in my heart and has been on my top 5 favorite movies list since I first saw it all that time ago. It's a good price for all that comes with it. Buy it, you won't regret it 🎃

5.0 out of 5 stars Werewolf as metaphor
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2010
Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Ginger Snaps (Collector's Edition)"- The cult-classic finally gets the special edition it deserves.
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019
Verified Purchase
The 2000 Canadian horror/dark-comedy "Ginger Snaps" is easily and without doubt one of the great underrated films of the past twenty years. 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.

Bonjour. J'ai bien reçu mon dvd et je suis très satisfaite de mon achat. Très bien emballé le dvd est en parfait état et je vous remercie. Je connaissais Ginger snaps depuis sa sortie mais ça faisait très longtemps que je ne l'avais pas revu. Ce film est génial, les 2 soeurs sont des actrices formidables. C'est un des meilleurs films sur les loups garous. L'atmosphère du film est crescendo jusqu'à la fin, qui n'en est pas une puisque en fait c'est une trilogie. Je recommande ce film pour les amateurs de lycantropes et de films sombres et sanglants

5.0 out of 5 stars Horror fans and Xena fans unite!!
Reviewed in Canada on December 13, 2002

Fans of Xena and La Femme Nikita may remember director John Fawcett from some of the best episodes on both shows. Now he brings us his film "Ginger Snaps". A bizarre screenplay from Karen Waldon, this brilliant movie is a gross werewolf story that serves as a mask for a much more gruesome tale: teen-years. By accurately showing the "horror" teenagers can go for in discovering their own bodies, their own changes, their own "powers", this movie is what "The Craft" could've been. Think of it as "Carrie" with a werewolf twist.
Ginger and Brigitte Fitzpatrick are a couple of teenage girls living in a really dull suburbia. But these are not your typical American-Pie-gals. Gin and Bri are true outcasts, with a serious contempt for everyone else in their school. On the night of her first menstruation, Ginger is attacked by a werewolf, and when she suddenly starts becoming one, no one will be safe, not even her dear sister.
One of the strong points for this movie is the transformation from human to wolf. It's a great thing that they decided not to go with CGI effects, but rather they used some very old-fashioned make-up tricks. Two thumbs up for that! It made me remember those all-time classics like "The Howling" and "An American Werewolf in London". Also, it portrays the horrors of adolescence in a dark, cerebral way (also with a very twisted sense of humor) that puts to shame all that nonsense from no-brainer teen flicks like "American Pie". The cast is wonderful. The two sisters (complete strangers to me) are great, and Mimi Roger's as their mom is a marvelous and funny character.
Now, for such a good movie, this edition is a crying shame. I hope the people at Amazon.com decide to include on their catalog the excellent Collector's Edition made in Canada, with full biography of the cast and crew, 2 commentary tracks by John Fawcett and Karen Waldon and several other features, including a slideshow of Ginger and Brigitte's school project. Wherever you get it, be sure to watch this movie. It barely got some attention at theaters over here, but I can guarantee you that you're standing in front of a future cult classic.
Also, for all Xena fans around the world, Lucy Lawless has a small voice cameo in this movie as the woman in the school's PA system.
