‘Ginger Snaps’ Now Streaming on Amazon Prime!
One of the best werewolf movies ever made is also one of the greatest coming-of-age horror films.
John Fawcett‘s Canadian indie Ginger Snaps (2000) introduced us to Katharine Isabelle, who would go on to star in both Freddy vs. Jason and American Mary, and Emily Perkins as two death-obsessed sisters who must deal with the tragic consequences when one of them is bitten by a deadly werewolf.
While a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray is available through Scream! Factory, Ginger Snaps is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Unfortunately, the two sequels aren’t on Prime, although they are both available for free on Tubi.
Earlier this year, Meagan Navarro wrote about the trilogy and the “deadly puberty is hell metaphor” in her special feature: “Sisters United in Blood”.
For those unacquainted, Ginger Snaps is a horror must see.
Get ready for double the fun, protagonists, and body count when Ready or Not 2: Here I Come explodes on streaming next week.
Just in time for the fireworks, the sequel makes its streaming debut on Hulu and Disney+ on July 2.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett are back, along with Samara Weaving, for more hide and slay mayhem.
Picking up moments after the all-out attack from the Le Domas family in the first Ready or Not movie, Grace (Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
That means a higher body count and even more explosive carnage. Just how much? A whopping 325 gallons worth, the directors previously told BD.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne also star.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. It’s all designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.”
The horror-comedy sequel is written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
