Ginger Snaps (2000)



Released on DVD, October 23, 2001, in the US.
Filmed entirely in Canada.
The story: 16-year-old Ginger and 15-year-old Brigitte are sisters who are extremely close.
They are constantly thinking about death and dying together.
Recently there have been some brutal unexplained attacks in their neighborhood but no one seems to think much of that.
One night Ginger and Brigitte go out to the park and find something dead.
Then Ginger realizes she has just had her period.
Out of nowhere, she is dragged off into the woods.
Brigitte runs screaming after her, finally finding her being attacked by something she cannot identify.
Getting away now, whatever was attacking Ginger gets hit by a car, and the girls' run off.
But when they get home they realize that Ginger's wounds, even though she is covered in her own blood, are healing at a very fast pace.
Ginger starts acting so much different than she did before she got attacked, which worries Brigitte.
That's when, with help from the guy who hit the unidentified attacker Brigitte starts to understand without Ginger's help, that her sister has become a werewolf and she needs help.
