Reply #9: A great Canadian horror film.

[Andy Canuck]

That is so Canadian, saying it is Canadian, its like the Swedish always reminding you that they invented tetra packs. Oh well, when you are a little country you gotta promote what you've got.

Ginger Snaps is really about the voracious transition from girl to woman and the impact of hormones and in particular menstruation. She becomes ravenously boy hungry (literally) after her period starts, that is why there s so much blood in the film, it is the over riding metaphor.
