The trilogy is finally complete and boy was it worth the wait! In this prequel, Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins return in the roles of Ginger and Bridgette, albeit in a different time and place.
Lost in the Canadian wilderness after an accident, the Fitzgerald sisters stumble upon a remote trading post where they find shelter, albeit begrudgingly, with the men who work there.
It soon transpires that the men have been under siege from a band of werewolves for some time now, and you better believe that when the sisters show up it only gets a whole lot worse for the residents.
This third film is absolutely beautiful, thanks to some wonderful cinematography and locations, and it is also very different to the previous two films whilst remaining true to the spirit and style of the earlier films.
The film in the tradition of the series is slowly paced, but it never drags and the cast are very good.
There are moments of gore and some slight morbid humour present, but despite managing to be fresh and it’s own movie, the film seems to be lacking something that would have made it slightly better than the sequel.
There is no denying that this is a beautifully shot and competently made film, it is however a little more dramatic than the previous two films and I think this somewhat softens it’s impact, as it was lacking the edge present in the previous films.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Fans of the series will not be disappointed as this third and hopefully final film (I would hate for them to ruin the series with pointless sequels) sees the trilogy come to a fitting end. The Ginger Snaps films are extremely well made movies that have provided fans with shocks, gore and most importantly a good story that will stand the test of time.
