Year:2004
Country of origin:Canada
Director:Grant Harvey
Genre:Werewolves
Starring:Emily Perkins, Katharine Isabelle
Rating:3/5
IMDB link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365265/
Tagline:No tagline
Favourite line:"A bond that would not be broken. Above men, above God, above fate. Together forever."

As seems the norm with horror flicks, the law of diminishing averages applies here. Not as good as the 2nd, far inferior to the 1st, this is hopefully the last installment in the 'Ginger Snaps' series. And I'm disappointed in saying that, as I thoroughly enjoyed the first two.

Here, Brigitte and Ginger find themselves in 19th Century Canada - for reasons that are never fully explained, which is strange considering the first two movies are set in contempary Canada - and find themselves the unwelcome visitors of a fortified village besieged by werewolves.
A mysterious Native American seer prophesises their fate, and it seems Brigitte is destined to murder Ginger once she becomes Werewolf.
Throw in a mutant child, a religiously fervent puritan and the occasional splash of blood and you've just about summed it up.

A disappointing effort.
