I'm umming & erring at Amazon.co.uk...

Ginger Snaps -

Good or bad?

Worth getting on DVD?

What do you folks reckon (in a spoiler free kinda way)?

I've never heard of it, but it gets 6.9/10 on IMDB, which in my book means that if you like the genre, you should like it.

Panty poo poos.

It's a werewolf film about some chick who gets hairy, angry and violent during her time of the month. So, what's new?

(I think - it was pretty dull, but there is a definite "she's growing into an adult and having to deal with changes" vibe).

Oh yeah, and the title is a terrible play on words - the main character is called GInger

Good...

I wrote this about it:

It's a bloody great film, though not quite as worthwhile as Brit werewolf movie Dog Soldiers (looks like it was made for the same amount of money though).

Very nicely done take on the same ground covered by Carrie, but with a nice mix of dry humour and horror, and a definite feel of the 'Daria' cartoon about it, only minorly let down by some bargain basement prosthetic effects towards the end.

Would seriously reccommend seeing it.

Well I've ordered it, but Amazon being Amazon estimate delivery as 7th-21st of March.

It's shown quite often on the Sci-Fi channel if you have Sky. Personally I thought it was terrible.

If you'd ordered it from Play you'd get it this week. ?2 more than Amazon but free postage so works out about the same.

I liked it, if you like the slightly darker Buffy episodes you'll enjoy it.

Its low budget werewolf fun, with various sociosexual subtexts. Ace.

Ta Yoda,
Amazon cancelled, re-ordered at Play.
