Ginger Snaps (2000)

I watched this Canadian horror with a feeling of growing disappointment. I watched it through to the end though and have to say it felt like a long time had passed. I could have been doing something better than watch this.
It is a sort of a modern day take on the werewolf genre, with two sisters who don’t fit into the typical teen stereotypes. They make horror photographs with decapitated body parts. The sister who isn’t ginger is a lot more introverted than her sister Ginger. Something is mutilating local pets. Ginger gets attacked by it and gets infected. She starts to grow hair and a tail. She attacks a boy who fancies her and he starts to turn too. Her sister and her drug dealing friend find a cure and use it on the infected boy not knowing if the consequences will lead to death or cure or nothing at all. Fortunately, the cure works on him. Ginger eventually fully mutates into an animal and we don’t get to see if she is ever cured. Of course not, as it is the first in a trilogy of films. I am not going to bother with the others.
