Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed Trailers

Brigitte has escaped the confines of Bailey Downs but she's not alone. Another werewolf is tailing her closely and her sister's specter haunts her. An overdose of Monkshood - the poison that is keeping her transformation at bay - leads to her being incarcerated in a rehabilitation clinic for drug addicts where her only friend is an eccentric young girl by the name of Ghost.

Sent to a rehabilitation clinic, a teen's growing belief that she will become a werewolf like her sister causes her to go on the run to save her fellow inmates only for the ravenous beast to follow her around.On the whole this one turned out to be a surprisingly decent effort. One of the better elements here is the film's rather entertaining way it handles her growing and oncoming transformation early on, with the film working nicely due to the circumstances present. The process of staying at the rehab clinic makes the oncoming process all the more chilling by wanting to keep it from infecting the others as this one goes about her process with the different body-parts becoming more wolf-like, the slowly-appearing fangs and claws and then the deformed features that begin developing, which along with the rapid healing provides this one with a healthy and chilling beginning to show of the transformation. Likewise, the finale here is quite a blast with a lot to like as the previous attacks set-up a fantastic sense of tension with the early preparation measures and tactics that play out nicely in the home while the scenes move through the various rooms of the house which is quite fun. From the gore to the twisted logic within and allowing for the great werewolf make-up having a chance to really shine here, these are enough to hold off the few flaws in here. One of the bigger problems here is the rather low amount of werewolf action actually put into this one as there's just not a whole lot of here where it really gets to attack. The only early attack scene is plagued by haphazard editing that really makes for a troubling time, which is all this has in terms of werewolf action until the finale anyway so that can wear on some viewers. That is due also to the film's other big flaw in that the first half is once again filled with scenes that don't really make this all too interesting as the scenes in the rehab clinic just don't have anything for them by tying in the change in lycanthropy to a drug relapse. This is similar to the original which tied it to burgeoning femininity, and while this one does manage to come off a little better at doing this, once again the novelty is off-set by the sheer boredom it brings out. Otherwise, this one was quite enjoyable.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity, drug use, violence-against-animals and a scene of group masturbation

I must say I was a tad bit disappointed with the sequel to Ginger Snaps. It was missing the fierceness and bloodlust that was so prevalent in the original. Also there was very little Ginger in this movie and too much Brigitte. Unfortunately Brigitte is still the weird girl who doesn't possess as much charisma as her sister. Together they were well balanced and kept things interesting, when they're apart there's no sisterly conflict to add drama. It still is an alright movie but it is more subdued than the original.I'm also not a big fan of the psych ward setting. It alienates the real world and makes you not care as much what happens to the resident crazies. They're already living in their own version of hell so who cares if you add another element to it. I just didn't find it as engaging as I would have liked. It's still not a bad movie though.

As a minor in the United States you can not be detained against will except with the permission of, or action by your parent/s or guardian/s. As a minor you also may be detained against your will by court order or held for a short period in police custody before any charges are filed.You CAN NOT be detained by a "rehab" facility against your will for any reason except one of the above. Also, no one would be sent to rehab for using a non-illegal non-narcotic, non-hallucinatory plant extract. Lastly, since no effort is made to find her true identity, they don't even know if she IS a minor. A State Attorney General would close this place without a thought and the staff could well be tried on kidnapping and false imprisonment charges.The movie revolves around the idea that any place can find you on the street, kidnap and illegally detain you and on top of that never notify the police. This was such a glaring error that I just could not get in to the rest of the movie.

I have yet to see the first Ginger snap or any other Ginger snaps movies in the series.I saw this when it came on TV once, all i knew about this movie before I watched it, was that it had something to do with a werewolf.Brigitte seem to be haunted by her dead sister, who a was werewolf too and she will become too but she then takes a deadly second dose of monkshood, which would stop her of changing into werewolf. Jeremy with her library books at her door and he see that she has taken drugs and then is about to take her to the hospital but is attacked.After that She wakes up in rehab clinic for drug abusing girls. she locked up and a little girls know about this and then helps her out to get more drugs to help her not to turn into a werewolf.This was really interesting werewolf movie, I didn't find IT boring, which i thought I would, but it was really entertaining movie,They had some really nasty bloody deaths in here too and i did like how the werewolf looked, it was little scary.The acting from the main girl was really good, the rest of cast was just okay but the little girl acting was really poor. I give this movie 7 out of 10
