Wes Craven, take note...., 23 July 2005
8/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

OK, I saw this a couple years ago but just got it on DVD and watched it last night and what a great movie! Here this is a little Canadian movie and it's a far better werewolf movie than Wes Craven's stinky big budget "Cursed". Two sisters, who have an obsession with death, find themselves hiding a little secret after one (Ginger) is attacked by SOMETHING, "a big dog maybe?" says B, the other sister. Ginger begins to change and B is trying to help her by enlisting the local drug dealer who knows something here and there about lycanthropy. Pretty soon Ginger is like the babe of the school and formerly she and her sister were outcasts, especially after the showing of their "Death Project" slide show at school. This has a fairly grim atmosphere but there is some humor to it. But this is a nasty werewolf movie and not a comedy. Far and above most movies of its type, there are the usual "pretty boy & girl" actors but this ain't no Scream. This is not a perfect movie but it's pretty damn good and if you haven't seen it, shed your inhibitions and throw it on, WOO HOO! 8 out of 10 stars.
