DVD Reviews of Ginger Snaps 2 - Unleashed
DVD Review: Oh my God, people actually LIKED this movie?! Horrible film
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm reading with curiousity the glowing reviews of this so called film and I can't help but wonder if the people in here and I watched the same movie. There must be a mistake, there HAS to be with people giving this crap glowing reviews and 4 or 5 stars.
Ofcourse the more spiteful among you are going to click on the "I did not find this review helpful" out of spite cause my review is in stark contrast to the things you said about this movie. Can't anyone have a differing point of view? It's not so much that those who liked this react neagatively cause I or whoever else did not like it, it's all about looking at the opinions and views objectively and fairly without any spiteful backlast.
To those of you who have not seen this movie, look at what I'm writing down to clue you in. And I dont really care what I give away and spoil for anybody. TRUST ME, I'm trying to SAVE you from this pathetic atempt at a sequel. Ginger Snaps 2 Unleashed is the title of this movie and I bet i'm not the only one that thought they should have put it back on a leash and chained it up somewhere.
First off the beginning of Ginger Snaps Unleashed picks up with Bridget (B) in a cheap motel room shooting herself up with monkshood to try in vain to control her shall we shall lycanthropic tendencies.
First thing you'll notice right off the bat is that Bridget, miracle of miracles has actually adopted grooming practices, even makeup (gasp!) this time around compared to how you remember her in Ginger Snaps. Indeed Emily Perkins who portrays Bridget looked more like wild than Ginger ever did in the first movie. She looks like halfway babe material and much more decent in this film. NICE!! What's the reason for the radical change? A date perhaps?
Anyway when last we saw Bridgett,she was embracing her dead werewolf sister Ginger. It's not explained in this movie what happened to her mom, or what happened to Ginger for that matter. Did the cops find the Ginger's werewolf body? Since Ginger killed more than a few people with Bridget present, you would think law enforcement would be looking for her. What did the mom do and what happened to the father?
What happened between then and Bridget being in a seedy motel room. Did she run away? Is she on the lam? Where did the kid get the money to rent rooms, buy syringes, food, supplies, travel and move about?
On to other things, she od's by injecting too much of the monkshood, where some poor guy finds her, tries to help and winds up getting ripped apart by another werewolf, who realizes that Bridget looks way better in this movie, oh and that she's a latent werewolf in the making and follows her around in a effort to catch up to her and mate. It's that call of the wild thing that's so popular with the kids nowadays.
Then she finally faints and winds up in a rehab center run by someone called Alice, which I thought was hysterial cause she had a "Def Leppard" tatoo on her arm. That must be the Candian version of a rebel. Well things are not looking up for poor Bridget.
She's trapped in a rehab center cause they think she's some sort of druggie, and there's this depraved child called Ghost, who if you watch this movie and are honest about it, you would sincerely believe is more dangerous than any werewolf. She's there with her grandmother who's all burned up. But you'll learn more about that as the movie goes on,unfortunately.
Seriously that kid Ghost is one super messed up child, remember the scene with her dog's head wrapped in a blanket and the wise ass remark she told Bridget regarding it? Normal kids don't do stuff like that. It's funny no one who reviewed this movie here bothers to mention any of this. They make her out to be Bridgets only friend and ally and soon you'll discover, like the old saying goes, "with friends like these"
And ofcourse for good measure you have the obligatory sexually perverted guard. Hey gotta have it! There was one in Terminator 2 Judgement Day, I guess the producers wanted one of thier own. No horror movie based in a rehab center is complete without it you know.
It should be mentioned in passing that Katherine Isabelle (Ginger) does appear in this movie as a REAL Ghost from time to time. She appears only to Bridget, but i'm kinda wondering why even include Ginger or waste Ms. Isabelles talents in the God awful flick.
She appears only to taunt and annoy the hell out of Bridget who seems actually suprislingly good natured about it. With Bridget releasing her sister from her torment in the last film and then actually grieving for her sister and lovingly embraced putting her arms over her dead sisters ugly werewolf body you'd think the sister's ghost would actually have some sympathy and compassion for her troubled sister this time around. You'd think she come back as a loving nuturing spirit, concerned for her sisters welfare. Un Uh! Not so. All she does here is remind B. and make light of her eventual descent into damnation. With ghosts like these sister or not? Was there a need?
Well finally Bridget and the kid manage to escape the rehab center where they are continoulsy hounded by the werewolf looking to get it together with Bridget.
By the way I never went into detail about the werewolf did I? Well hey! this one actually has hair! compared to the hairless one's in Ginger Snaps. Remember Lions Gate Films produced this movie, compared to City Heat Productions in the first one. Bigger movie company, bigger budget!! What does that translate to? HAIR! for the werewolf. Lionsgate was going first class all the way.
They make their way to Ghost's grandma's house where Bridget eventually starts to lose control of her transformation, monkshood or not, then they call the perverted guard to come and help and he in turn calls on the Alice chick to come and get them. Mistakenly believing that the guard tried to molest Ghost, thanks to some good acting on her part, Bridget sets him up to get killed by the werewolf who followed them by locking him outside.
Turns out Ghost is a drama queen, cause she lied, she also lied about the way her so called grandma died. Lets just say granny's accident in where she was burned all over was no accident. Ever hear of the bad seed? Bridget finds this out and is really pissed for being taken for a fool.
The rehab lady shows up and the werewolf bursts in the house at last, where Bridget has her final confrontation with it, and wins more or less, not without getting messed up a little ofcourse in the process.
Bridget and the werewolf wind up in the basement (how apt) where that little pshyco Ghost, kills Alice (The lady rehab center director) and poor Bridget implores the kid to kill her cause she's on the verge of fully transforming, but Ghost has other plans and locks Bridget up in the cellar for a rainy day so she can use her to deal with her many enemies real and imagined. Talk about compassion I tell ya. That's how the movie ends, and it couldn't have been more depressing if they tried.
THIS MOVIE WAS NO FUN AT ALL! Bad acting! Bad script! Bad lines! BAD EVERYTHING!. I'm not putting Ms. Perkins down or anything, after all she did a tremedous job in Ginger Snaps, but if you haven't seen this movie yet, it has none of the charm and wit, sytle, feel, spirit and just plain fun that the first one had.
Trust me this is NOTHING like Ginger Snaps. At least Ginger Snaps even though it wasn't the greatest thing to ever come out was creative and innovative for a movie of it's kind dealing with a theme that's been used to death. And that's saying something nice about it that it managed that where so many other's fail. Ginger Snaps is a academy award winner compared to this one, thats for damn sure. The only reason I was excited to watch Ginger Snaps Unleashed was based on how much I liked the first one. BIG MISTAKE!!
Something tells me Ginger Snaps is the kind of movie that should have only been a one shot deal and that's it. Leave it for prosperity. I know they made a 3rd one but based on the strength of the second one, I sure aint looking forward to that. I dont know if the 3rd time is really the charm aND I should take a chance or spare myself. If you're a hearty soul and like to abuse yourself then you might care for this movie. Ginger Snaps UNLEASHED (HA! who are they kidding?) indeed. Whatever it's your money. Can't say nobody warned ya. Peace
