Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004)

Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning was directed by Grant Harvey, and stars Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins. It was released in 2004.

This movie was a mess.

I felt like I was watching The Simple Life: The Wilderness 1815. Ginger and Brigitte, two sisters who vow to be “together, forever,” despite getting caught up in a murky prophecy involving werewolves, have valley girl accents and Paris Hilton vocabularies, replete with an array of thoroughly modern curse words. I felt like the director forgot to tell the writer this was supposed to be a time travel movie.

Basically, nothing in this movie makes sense. There’s no reliability in the mechanics of the world, and things occur mainly for appearances. It’s disorienting, and most of your time is spent trying to dismiss the glaring inconsistencies in order to make the movie watch-able. Maybe I needed to see the original Ginger Snaps to understand, but one would think a movie called “The Beginning” would be able to stand alone.

Ideally, this movie should be enjoyed with the sound off. The pretty cinematography is the only thing that makes it worthwhile.

Overall: D

Cinematography: B
