I really loved the first movie. I was so impressed that after I'd hired it 5 times I decided to go and buy it. I thought this was the most original werewolf movie that I'd ever seen and the fact that it was based around a couple of teens was a bonus because we got to see their daily growing up teen problems as well as the werewolf dilemma. Ginger's transformation was very believable.
However...as utterly delighted as I was to see the Sequel on the video store shelf, I have to say I was very much disappointed in it. The pace was great, as well as the storyline-up to a point. What sort of ending was that with poor Bridget ending up as some psycho-girl's pet? And the male-werewolf stalking her to be his mate seemed as an almost after-thought. It would have been good if he'd been in it a little more. A couple of deaths, one encounter where he's showing his intentions and then she's killing him at the end. A little lust on her part wouldn't have gone astray. She's turning into a female werewolf after-all and must also have the mating instinct.
I think I would have liked to see Bridget running free as her new self and wreaking havoc on the world. We would have gotten a good Sequel perhaps. I know we have a Prequel, which I have yet to watch, but it seems to have little to do with the other two movies.
Call me dark if you like, but just ONCE I'd like to see someone embrace their werewolf side as Ginger did and LIVE at the end. One sister dies and the other becomes a pet...
Over-all, the movie was fantastic. It's dark and supernatural, had a great plot and I was delighted to see Ginger in the form a ghost to torment her sister. Well worth a watch if you loved the first movie, but yes, the end was a great disappointment.
