There are so many horrific foreign horror movies to choose from but this one is flawless. Japan knows its horror and this is one of the best.

Tagline: They don't call it the curse for nothing

Synopsis: Is becoming a woman analogous, in some deep psychological way, to becoming a werewolf? Ginger is 16, edgy, tough, and, with her younger sister, into staging and photographing scenes of death. They've made a pact about dying together. In early October, on the night she has her first period, which is also the night of a full moon, a werewolf bites Ginger. Within a few days, some serious changes happen to her body and her temperament. Her sister Brigitte, 15, tries to find a cure with the help of Sam, a local doper. As Brigitte races against the clock, Halloween and another full moon approach, Ginger gets scarier, and it isn't just local dogs that begin to die.
























I loved this awesome coming-of-age werewolf story. Great story and acting and so different from any other werewolf movie I've seen.

  1. Audition...yes! Another good one. There are so many good ones. It's really so hard to pick just one.

    Ginger Snaps is a really good franchise, in my opinion. Even the second one was good, with Tatiana Maslany playing that creepy girl Brigitte "befriends." My favorite is Ginger Snaps Back...I guess because of the historical setting.

  2. "Deeper, deeper" *shivers*

    And Ginger Snaps has "classic" status IMHO.

    Two more great picks!
