Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted January 11, 2003 Report Posted January 11, 2003 If you have Digital Cable or satellite, and get HBO Zone...TUNE IN RIGHT NOW! From 1:40 AM until 3:30 AM, EST, Ginger Snaps is on. Starring Katherine Isabella (Ginger), Emily Perkins (Brigitte), and Mimi Rogers (the mother). Good movie, guys... ...okay, my last post today...
Guest red_file Posted January 11, 2003 Report Posted January 11, 2003 An interesting movie, though the parallel between lycanthropy and menstuation didn't quite work for me, and some of the low budget hurt it a bit. Still, one of the better horror movies in recent years.
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted January 11, 2003 Report Posted January 11, 2003 Think of the parallel between lycanthropy and puberty instead of lycanthropy and menstruation, and it works perfectly.
Guest red_file Posted January 13, 2003 Report Posted January 13, 2003 Perhaps I should've said the equating of emerging female sexuality with becoming a werewolf, which, yes, would be puberty and the tensions resultant of one girl going through it while the other is forced to watch and not fully understand what's going on as Ginger turns into something dangerous. It just didn't entirely work for me. When I get around to watching it again, I might see the connections and resolution better, but at the time it felt like the parallel was dropped towards the end in favor of more tradtional horror. Though Bea walking through the house by torchlight was a great image.
Guest SP-1 Posted January 13, 2003 Report Posted January 13, 2003 I kinda want to see this now. Does anyone remember a movie, it was like a PG-13 horror movie (I think), that had some chick turning into a plant monster or something? Maybe she already was the plant monster throughout, I don't remember. For some reason the description of GINGER SNAPS made me think of that. Anyway. Is this an older movie? Might I have a chance of finding it at my local Blockbuster?
