My favorite aspect of Ginger Snaps is its setting: suburbia. The movie captures the unsettling homogeny of suburbia so well, and it does a great job of ripping it apart. Add to that the intelligently written story that touches thoughtfully on women’s sexuality, and this movie stands apart from the average horror movie, let alone werewolf flick.
