Ginger snaps

Another steaming pile of dung I watched for this blog. Yeuuuchhh ! bad crap this. Picture Beverly Hills 90210 + Slither + a-lot-of-other-cliched-horror movies is what this movie really amounts to. It's the story about sisters Ginger and Brigitte journey into adulthood. This show was supposedly well received by critics and it's really a mystery to me why. The teenage angst, brooding teenager without a care angle has been done to death and should have really been left where it was lying -> six feet under ! Ginger might be overflowing with teenage angst but she sure ain't no Shannon.

Somehow director's John Fawcett's ploy of using lycantrophy as a metaphor for puberty failed to register with me to. All in all, it could have been done so much more elegantly. Lots of plot lines were left hanging and actors felt like cardboard stand ins than humans. What happened to the parents ? Heck there are so many "what happened to"s I am not even going to waste your time or mine here. In the end what you end up with is a feeling of disenchantment and I was there grumbling looking at the time I just poured into this piece of crap wishing that ginger would die her inevitable death (yes you could see it 10 miles coming) and shut her trap already !!

Score : 3/10
