Ginger Snaps

For some reason yesterday I ended up watching the Sci-Fi channel at some ungodly hour last night and this morning, and ended up watching the Ginger Snaps tseries. God those films kick ass, and yet there are quite a few haters (go on bloody-disgusting.com to see). Officially my favourite horror film, and tied with Star Wars Epsiode IV for favourite film overall. So, what do you think? Or have you never seen it, and merely wandered into this thread looking for a recipe?

Also, Brigitte is hot. Do not dispute it.

Pretty standard by the book B-grade teen horror, IMHO...

*sharpens knife*

Meh. Not a series (although there have been rumours) but the best 3 horror films I've seen.

Ginger snaps do kick ass, in all forms.

I picked up the first one on a whim in the bargain-bin at the video-store, and was impressed as hell by the whole thing-the nice touches they used to explain major bits and pieces really worked well, and the director didn't 'blink' at the ending-Ginger dies. very nice.

Haven't seen the second one.

Little interesting bits I noticed from the first film included unconscious hints at the setting-one of the better Canadian films I've seen.

The second one is very creepy. But at the point I saw it the time was something like 2AM and I was still in awe of the first one (:D).

The prequel is good, but not quite as good as the other two. The setting is done well, and there are some rather well done yet incredibly unpleasant parts to it.

I loved that movie when I saw it about two weeks ago. Havn't seen the second or third yet but the first had some nice twisted jokes in it (I brust out laughing when the fat hockey kid's dog was killed and he found it. His face was fricken pricless).

This thread doesn't seem to have anything to do with alcoholic beverages at all. Colour me disappointed.

Especially since ginger snaps are biscuits.

I quite liked the Ginger Snaps film - there's more than one, right? Only saw the first

And the girl - whatever her name was - is v. v. hot

Snaps (acually also called "snaps/schnapps" or "aquavit" in English) is a sort of flavoured liquor in Scandinavia. Ginger is one of the myriad of spices that can be used to flavour it.

Why?

You goggled it? That sounds like some kind of painful and overly complicated activity that is illegal in most western countries.

Fass: if you'd said schnapps I would have got it. Damn you for not being psychic!
