Title: Ginger Snaps Trilogy

I'm probably the only one here who has seen these besides Leon.  A friend of mine loves them as well, but I don't know if he even knows this site exists, so he won't be posting about em.

Basically, the series is about two sisters (Emily Perkins and Katharine Isabelle) who make a pact to stay together forever and all that jazz, up until they are going to kill themselves.  This becomes a problem when Ginger (Isabelle) gets bitten by something in the woods and she starts to change into a werewolf.

The monster effects in all three movies are very good, especially in the third one.  The first two follow a traditional continuity line, but the third is supposedly a prequel.  However, it's better to think of it as a stand-alone movie as it doesn't really make any sense in relation to what happens in the first and second movies.

All three are good but I like the first and third the best.  Very very good for B horror movies, and there is actually a plot to all three.  You can find all of them at your local Hollywood Video.  Blockbuster may or may not carry them.  Highly reccommended.

Oh, there are talks of a fourth movie, but I really don't see this happening.  I've also heard that they may attempt a TV series along the lines of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, though that may only be in Canada (these are Canadian movies).  Rick, you may want to check these out.

I caught part of one of these on cable. the scene I happened upon was of a guy pissing blood, after seeing that I was forced to flip back to the Cartoon Network.

Heh.  Yeah, I can understand that, especially if you flipped to it from cartoons.

Hmm, I saw the first one in blockbuster and was like "hey this seems neat" but then I didn't end up getting it for one reason another... perhaps I should do that now...

Only do it if you appreciate B horror movies.  If you don't, don't say I didn't warn you.

How can I not? Regardless of the fact that it was a Universal Pictures film, Army of Darkness will forever more be my favorite movie. (Excluding The Little Mermaid) Oh Ash, how wonderful you are!

Ok, I just watched the first Ginger Snaps movie and I gotta say - I'm in love!

a) That Ginger chick was really hot.
b) Werewolf folklore- hooray!
c) Just really awesome in general

I can't wait to see the other two. ^_^;;
