atinder I really enjoyed thw other 2 movies in the series, I had this movie for few years now, I have tried to watch it a few times, I could never really get into. So yesterday , I deiced to watch in full for once and I still find it really hard to get into movie. I wasn't bored with this movie, I was just watching it but I was not liked what I was seeing. There were some decent bloody and gory moments in this movie, That I liked and I the werewolf looked good in the movies, some decent effects. I didn't enjoy ginger snap 3 as much as the other to movies in the series. 5 out of 10
adnan tanvir Didn't plan to review it but after watching it, couldn't help it, just to tell how bad the movie is. The first 'Ginger Snaps' is one of my favorite horror film of all time. Just watching the first part, I made decision to watch the other parts. The second part 'Ginger Snaps-Unleashed' was watchable but not great. But then comes 'Ginger Snaps Back: The beginning' which is a total flop and a waste of time. After watching this, the first question that came to my mind is, why? Why did they make this one? It is not entertaining, not horror , not thriller, not suspenseful, nothing. It had all negative sides that a film could possibly have. The plot was completely garbage. It destroyed the image of the first 'Ginger Snaps' which was great in all the directions and it is quite opposite. The original 'Ginger Snaps' was from first to last full of horror and suspense.This was not. I watched this movie at night alone in my room which is in a corner of the house and I was not scared. I couldn't get a clue who is killing who and why? Why they are so unconscious when they know that there are deadly creatures surrounding them? Bottom line is, don't watch this movie if you like the original 'Ginger Snaps' and if you consider your time valuable.
lastliberal I haven't seen the first two films in this series, but that is unimportant as this third film takes place 200 years before the first one.I am always drawn to films about werewolves and vampires. The shapeshifters have always intrigued me and the overt sensuality of the films is a plus. I say sensuality, as there is not sexuality in the roles of the two sisters, Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) and Brigette (Emily Perkins). They just exude sensuality in their every move and manner of dress.Other than the two stars, and some Native American legend, this is pretty much just the same werewolf film you have ever seen in a different package.I am now ready to watch the first two.
Backlash007 ~Spoiler~ Shot back-to-back with Unleashed, Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning is my least favorite of the series. But it's still not a bad flick. This is a prequel that takes place in an early 1800's trader's fort that is besieged by "Wendigos". The prequel idea was probably the best way to get Ginger back into the series (even though she's not the reason I enjoy these movies). Both Isabelle and Perkins (who is the reason I enjoy these movies) are completely at home in these characters now. Strong character actors like JR Bourne, Nathaniel Arcand, and Brendan Fletcher (who got killed in the last Ginger Snaps movie as well) also help set the scene. It may be my least favorite, but this one looks the best. Second unit director for the original Ginger Snaps, Grant Harvey, is at the helm and really gets good use out of the Canadian wilderness. The setting really is unbelievable. Fort Edmonton Park (recently seen in a Fear Itself episode) is a fantastic place for a period horror film. The last film also best showcases the KNB werewolves. This is the only Ginger Snaps film to show the werewolves full on. Hopefully this is the last film in the series, because overall it was a fine little trilogy.
