Brigitte is an addict. After mixing blood with her late sister Ginger in an attempt to learn more about the condition, she has been infected with "the curse." Each day the curse in her grows stronger and she must increase her dosage of wolfsbane injections. When she is found laying face down in the snow after a near-escape from another beast, she is thrown in drug rehabiliation -- locked behind doors without her life-saving wolfsbane.
The original "Ginger Saps" had a unique approach to biting and sisterly love. I will not go into detail in case you missed the original. I would also suggest you watch the original first.
This movie, however, is just a run-of-the-mill standard blood and guts cliché. You have the common weirdies and the standard abuse, a few tasty and tasteless scenes. Lots of anticipation and a little action. The deceased sister plays very minor parts with no direction. And "Ghost" Tatiana Maslany is practicing to be the new Patty McCormack ("The Bad Seed" 1956).
They even run the obligatory "stay in the car" scene into the ground.
A third movie, “Ginger Snaps Back,” gets back on the track of the two sisters. It is much better and looks like they threw some money and thought into it. You can skip “Ginger Snaps Unleashed!” and it will have no impact on viewing “Ginger Snaps Back.”
