Ginger Snaps
This movie was alright but i think it could have been done better in places. It had alot of good ideas that were poorly executed i think (much like underworld). I really liked the characters but the wolf looked bad at the end, and the complete darkness scene when she was in the closet went on for like 45secs. just to be anticlimatic and switch to another scene (for a kickass example of the complete darkness scene see Equilibrium, anyone whos scene it knows what im talking about.)
I dont know, maybe it had too much buildup from members on this board and i expected to much, but its sure-as-shit no Dogsoldiers.

It is basically a teenager movie IMO .... Everyone likes teenage girls getting mean soooooooo this movie can not be compared to other werewolf movies...Ginger Snaps rip off "The Curse"
It has this concept of a female coming of age feel to it.. If you are a guy you might not understand .... But it is not a god damn bad movie for being a werewolf flick... and to be honest I love Dog Soldiers but SHIT it is not the best werewolf movie made....

Ginger Snaps is one of my favorite new horror movies (May might be my favorite). I thought it was a great movie, every zombie, vampire, werewolf etc. movie "rips-off" a bit from other movies that came before it.
I've never seen dog soldiers.

I saw it awhile back, it's alright but a little....poorly directed. Alot of it could have been alot better than it was.
My opinion of coarse.

The wolf in the movie was done poorly IMHO. And while i did really like the acting, alot, and the first hour and a half of the movie. The climax left me fealing empty and unfullfilled. I think if it was directed a bit better at the end, i really would have liked it alot. As it stands, its a mediocre horror film with alot of good acting.

I'd have to agree, Dog Soldiers is one of the better Werewolf flicks i've seen in a while. I liked it so much I ran out and bought it on DVD.
I've been meaning to see Ginger Snaps, however it's always out when ever I try to rent it..... So either it's a good film and in high demand or the people over here have bad taste in films :D I'll be the judge ;D

Because it was on so late I only saw the first hour of it and it was decent but I hardly even qualify it as a werewolf movie, I guess I was just a little mislead. I thought it was pretty original however and had some good moments.

Ginger Snaps is a really well acted werewolf movie. But it sure aint no 'Dog Soldiers'. And with a sequal to Soldiers in the pipeline it's looking a good time for the wolf.
