Sorry Sequel to a Great Original
20 April 2004
I really wanted to like this sequel to what I consider a fantastic horror flick, Ginger Snaps...but came away from this feeling considerably disappointed. The flick sorely suffered sans the sass and appeal of Ginger, the few dream sequence shots of her just weren't enough to counter the ultra-depressing Emily. It appears that the creators of this version got sidetracked mid stream - hence the creation of Ghost. In what was to be a true creature feature, this is only a distraction, and should not have been central to the plot. To have a small girl lock the creature in the cellar and keep it there is simply preposterous. After all we have already seen the phenomenal strength of the werewolf - a cellar door is not going to pose much of a threat there. Ginger Snaps 2 is a perfect example of the delicate ground that is tread upon when creating sequels - and proof positive of why you just shouldn't do it.
