"Do you think I want to go back to being nobody?"Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) is the older of two sisters who are considered the school freaks. Thus as outcasts they depend on each other for support. Then Ginger is bitten by a 'dog thing' on her 16th birthday and starts to change. She becomes preditory and wildly sexually active, much to her sister B's (Emily Perkins) annoyance, but blood is thicker and she ultimately helps her sister cover up her transformation.
Ginger Snaps melds the wolfman story to puberty, it becoming a metaphor for unsettling teenage change. Whilst this may sound a bit trite it actually works for the most part. Only when the film resorts to showing the transformed Ginger does the film dip.
