ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Leofwine_draca The third and final instalment of the GINGER SNAPS trilogy and also by far the best of the three films. Eschewing the teen angst and modern-day ponderings of the first two movies, GINGER SNAPS BACK posits itself as a sort-of prequel, telling virtually the same story but setting it in the 19th century and in a remote area of the Canadian wilderness.The plot involves a remote outpost under siege, not dissimilar to THE ALAMO. The besiegers are werewolves. If that's not enough to whet your appetite, then I don't know what is, but I was hooked from the outset. There's still plenty of mileage to be had in the sisterly relationship between Ginger and Brigitte, and as in the first film their bond holds everything together.Let's get this straight: this is a B-movie made on a low budget, although for the most part that budget is well hidden. The settings, from the wooden mini-fortress to the snowbound woodlands, are well shot and atmospheric, and the creature effects are the best of the whole series. The characters are all stereotypes, but fun with it: there's the fire-and-brimstone preacher, the grieving captain, the friendly Native American tracker, the elderly doctor, the hard-ass soldier. Guessing which of them is going to be the next to be bumped off is half of the fun.The story plays out as you'd expect, building to an impressive and grisly climax in which the full horror of the situation becomes apparent. Yet it's that sweet, poignant central relationship that makes this film stand out above other similar fare. Katharine Isabelle may bag the more obvious role of the two sisters, but it's Emily Perkins who ends up as the most bewitching. Director Grant Harvey, a newcomer to the trilogy at this late stage, handles the elements remarkably. It's just a shame more B-movies don't have the imagination and strength that this film displays.

jodavis-2 i really loved the whole concept back in 1815 and the sisters where the same age as in the first and second installment. i never seen the first or second, i started with the prequel first and got me really interested in the others. if your in to dark fairy tales like the brother grim type of stuff you should give it a chance and i heard this was the weakest one out of the 3, so really looking forward to it.the way this film was shot was very gloomy on the woods of Canada, it had a horror feeling to it, with not a lot of blood for gore hounds but enough to keep you wanting more. the acting was great especilally with the sisters. it's a great rainy day movie to create the perfect feeling for this movie so i suggest you give it a shot, i give it 7/10

mbworm After the success of the superior werewolf thriller "Ginger Snaps", it seems Lions Gate rushed to churn out two sequels in the shortest amount of time possible, those being the frightening "Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed" and the disappointing "Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning". Where "Unleashed" was a bit of letdown compared to its predecessor, it made sense and it followed the storyline well and even managed to wrangle up a boatload of genuine scares. Then there's "Ginger Snaps Back", the weakest and wholly unnecessary entry into the series. It should have stopped with "Unleashed" but the writers have decided to give our doomed heroines Brigitte and Ginger one last go around.This time Ginger and Brigitte (a major plus is that Katharine Isabelle reprises her role as Ginger whereas she was missing in the second film save for a few scenes) are wandering around in the Canadian wilderness after being stranded in the early 1800's. For some reason it's a prequel that has nothing to do with the story that was developed in the first two films, so what's the point besides some cheap werewolf scares? When they come across a wrecked Indian camp that depicts carnage and brutal murder, they hastily make way to find shelter. That's when they find a strange fort in the middle of nowhere that some soldiers reside in, and that's where the nightmare begins. At night, a pack of vicious werewolves continually attacks the fort outside the thick log walls, and by day things take a nasty turn for Ginger when she is bitten... again. It's all apparently a foreshadowing of the events in the first film but none of it is needed. There's no tension or intrigue where there was in the first and second, plus any trace of black humor that made the first film so ingenious is not apparent anywhere. The editing and cinematography seem rushed and at times I found the film almost incoherent. A huge disappointment that further ruins the integrity of the first. They should leave Ginger and Brigitte alone now.

icfarm This "prequel" to the outstanding 2000 original, I think, is better than the sequel, "unleashed". What we have here is basically a retelling of the original story as a period drama - same sisters, same names, same actresses. After their parents' death (murder? There is some suggestion that they may have done something to Mom & Dad), the two main characters we've come to love - played by Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins for the third time - end up at a fort in 1800's Canada after meeting a handsome young Native American (Canadian?) man. The characters they meet are colorful, to say the least. Especially the preacher who could put a Salem witch-hunter to shame (Hugh Dillon, who I understand from the commentary is mainly a singer - fine performance here; I'd like to see more of him acting). But this particular fort, of course, is besieged by werewolves that the inhabitants are struggling to protect themselves from. Ginger, as in the first film, is bitten, and her sisters' sense of devotion ultimately curses her to become what her sister is becoming.My favorite scenes? The "leech werewolf test" (you'll know what I'm talking' about when you see it if you watch the film yourself), and the partially-transformed Ginger's return to the fort with some of her new pack-mates to raise a little h--l.Impressive acting - especially, as in all three films, from our two leading wolf-girls - as well as set design and make-up/creature effects. Check this one out - you won't be disappointed.
