Ginger Snaps (2000)
Snappy acting
A couple of sisters (Emily Perkins, Katharine Isabelle) with vivid imagination are misunderstood. One gets bit by a "you know what" and the fun begins. Naturedly this is mistaken for a different type of change in life.
All the elements are there:
Caring (haven't got a clue) parents.
Blond with nasty attitude antagonist.
Drug dealer that does werewolf studies on the side.
Lots of neighbors with tasty pets.
Occasional gratuitous sex scene (the camera breaks away before the sweaty parts.)
You get the idea.
Will a cure be found and they all live happily ever after or is it curtains for the victims(s)?
The movie does have its unique way of mixing the standard elements to come out with the average "nipper" story. The only social redeeming value is the sisters' fidelity.

Ginger Snaps 2 Unleashed (2004)
Living off reputation of Ginger Snaps
The original "Ginger Saps" had a unique approach to biting and sisterly love. I will not go into detail incase you missed the original. I would also suggest you watch the original first.
This movie however is just a run of the mill standard blood and guts cliché. You have the common wierdies and the standard abuse, a few tasty and tasteless scenes. Lots of anticipation and a little action. The decease sister plays very minor parts with no direction. And "Ghost" Tatiana Maslany is practicing to be the new Patty McCormack ("The Bad Seed" 1956).
They even run the obligatory "stay in the car" scene to ground.
A third movie is made "Ginger Snaps Back" they get back on the track of two sisters. It is much better and looks like they threw some money and thought into it. You can skip "Ginger snaps Unleashed!" and it will have no impact on viewing "Ginger Snaps Back"

Ginger Snaps Back - The Beginning (2004)
Beware the red and the black
Third time is the charm. This is the third movie "Ginger Snaps Back" in the ginger snaps series and in my opinion the best. The first "Ginger Snaps" of course always get the privilege of being unique as a different more caring wolfy sisters. The second "Ginger Snaps 2" however was nothing more than an exploitation film relying on the reputation of the first film.
They seem to have found more money for this prequel and took acting lessons as this film was beautiful and well organized. There were a few overdone "Blair Witch" type scenes but they did not distract form the over all feel. It was a bit darker but would have been impossible to make otherwise. You may also notice that they had to go out of their way to show the sisters periodically as the story and some of the other actors were acting rings around them.
During the early exploration of the continent (1815) a group of people built a fort on the edge of the known world. Through a series of misfortunes and events two sisters Bridget and Ginger are lead to the fort by a mysterious native. There they encounter some odd characters and something unspeakable howling outside the fort.
Is it safer inside or out side the fort?
What is seen in the future and must it come true?
Is the bond of sisters stronger than any adversity?

Werewolf in a Girl's Dormitory

A story of two girls wanting to die by the age of 16, a pact of two death obsessed sisters who get more than that in this movie...bitten...hair...full moon...blood...guts...sassy dialogue yes this is a werewolf movie and one of my faves. The sequels are also good but not great the werewolf FX arent as good as the original but the sisters from the original still give it their all in this well rounded horror trilogy. The second movie may not sit well with fans of the first admittedly the ending is a bit....hum....but still a good movie nontheless, put it this way you will either love the sequel or you will hate it. The 3rd is a prequel which tells the story of the sisters and how the curse began. For straight to DVD fair these are gems and should be bought by any horror fan, buy it or I will bite you.
