Review of Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed

I must say I was a tad bit disappointed with the sequel to Ginger Snaps. It was missing the fierceness and bloodlust that was so prevalent in the original. Also there was very little Ginger in this movie and too much Brigitte. Unfortunately Brigitte is still the weird girl who doesn't possess as much charisma as her sister. Together they were well balanced and kept things interesting, when they're apart there's no sisterly conflict to add drama. It still is an alright movie but it is more subdued than the original.

I'm also not a big fan of the psych ward setting. It alienates the real world and makes you not care as much what happens to the resident crazies. They're already living in their own version of hell so who cares if you add another element to it. I just didn't find it as engaging as I would have liked. It's still not a bad movie though.
