Sisters , Together Forever : Ginger Snaps Back
0 of 1 found this helpful The Fitzgerald sisters return for one last romp with Werewolves in the snow of Canada, this time however it's in the year 1819 . Departing from the " coming of age " motif of the earlier films Ginger Snaps Back follows a more traditional approach to the werewolf genre - retaining the fresh take on an old subject that fans have come to expect from the series .
The main reason everybody loves the Ginger Snaps films can be attributed to the chemistry between Katherine Isabelle and Emily Perkins and the fact that underneath the wolfskins the real gist of the story is about the love of sisters . That remains intact in this finale which just so happens to also serve as the beginning .
Aside from the return of the main characters of Ginger and Brigitte , " The Beginning " isn't a rehash of what we've seen in the previous films ( other than the difficulties humans seem to have with werewolves in their midst )and gives us what we want - Ginger and Brigitte against the world and a pack of hairy monsters hungry for human flesh . Not quite as tongue in cheek as its predecessors , Ginger Snaps Back takes a more dramatic approach but still delivers the " stock in trade " black humor and interesting characters we want from the Ginger Snaps franchise . Best of all , it doesn't conclude on the same dark notes as Ginger Snaps or Ginger Snaps 2 Unleashed so from a particular point of view we might be able to say that Ginger and Brigitte finally win .
Yay !
If you liked the first two Ginger Snaps films , in all likelihood you'll enjoy this third outting - despite the notable departure from what we have grown to expect . It is a suitable finale and setup for more fun with Ginger and Brigitte if we are lucky .
