Two
strange sisters named Brigitte (Emily
Perkins) and her older sister Ginger
(Katherine Isabelle) are into photography
taking photographs on death scenes.
They show it for their class project and
the teacher is digusted causing them to
get into trouble.
Another time outside they are in gym
session playing a sport and a stuck up
girl pushes Brigitte into a dead dog that
was attacked by some wild animal as there
have been numerous other dead dogs in the
area caused by this.
Ginger assures to her sister that she
will get that girl back.
Well
one night they are at a park in October
during Ginger's first period on a full
moon and decides to collect the pieces
from that dead dog.
Next thing you know a super fast wolf
attacks Ginger and then claws and bites
her a few times.
Gingers wounds then starts to heal after
the wolf is run over by a van.
Within
a few days Ginger's behavior starts to
seriously change along with her body as
she is becoming extremely horny with the
jocks and behaving violent to her
classmates that have taunted but her and
Brigitte at school.
Brigitte
tries to find a cure with the help of a
local dope head named Sam (Chris Lemche)
who was responsible for running the wolf
over with his van.
But on Halloween when it's a full moon
the real terror starts to happen with
Ginger.
Many werewolf
films are shot in parts of Europe but it
is great that finally we see a Canadian
werewolf flick made by a Canadian company
with a Candian cast.
It started out as an independent
production but became a big time cult
classic after it was invested and
released nationwide.
It was very original and we have a touch
of Carrie in it too.
The acting is well
done but some of the adult actors perform
too comedic like but maybe that's what
the director wanted.
The two actresses who played the sisters
were very natural.
Emily Perkins shows great
expressions as a strange outsider who is
heavily into the goth lifestyle.
I always enjoyed Katharine Isabelle's
work in films.
The other kids who played bullies seem
fairly believeable as well.
Yes we get lots of
gore.
Slaughtered dogs
Clawed throats (Really gruesome)
Lots of blood.
John Fawcett's
direction is also well done and has great
location shots of the park and the
werewolf attacking as it's dark and
creepy like.
The action sequences with the werewolf
attacking are very fast as you think to
yourself "What is going on???"
and the scene makes you stay glued to the
screen.
Mike Shields
composed this piece and only worked in a
handful of other movies but he still
knows how to compose even music for this
film leaving lots of gothlike creepiness
to it.
