Ginger Snaps
They don't call it the curse for nothing.
Directed by John Fawcett
Produced by Copperheart Entertainment
A darkly comic coming-of-age horror film that uses werewolf transformation as a metaphor for female adolescence and bodily autonomy, anchored by a fierce sibling bond.
The story of two outcast sisters, Ginger and Brigitte, in the mindless suburban town of Bailey Downs. On the night of Ginger's first period, she is savagely attacked by a wild creature. Ginger's wounds miraculously heal but something is not quite right. Now Brigitte must save her sister and save herself.
