Ginger Snaps

The «Ginger Snaps» film series is a Canadian horror franchise that follows two teenage sisters, Ginger and Brigitte Fitzgerald. After Ginger is attacked by a mysterious creature on the night of her first period, she slowly transforms into a werewolf, and her sister Brigitte must try to save her before the transformation is complete. The series is known for using lycanthropy as a metaphor for puberty and teenage angst, and has become a cult classic.

• The franchise consists of three films:

• Ginger Snaps (2000) – The first film directed by John Fawcett. It follows the two sisters whose lives are upended after Ginger is attacked by a werewolf.

• Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004) – The sequel directed by Brett Sullivan. Brigitte, now infected with the werewolf virus herself, checks into a rehab facility to prevent her transformation.

• Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004) – The prequel directed by Grant Harvey, telling the story of the sisters’ ancestors in 19th-century Canada.

• Main cast: Katharine Isabelle (Ginger) and Emily Perkins (Brigitte) star in all three films.
