Any young woman knows that getting your period brings plenty of physical and emotional agony. It becomes up to Brigitte to search for a cure and stop her sister from being a danger to herself and others. She gains a newfound appetite for destruction and boys, while her best friend and sister Brigitte is left behind. In the film, Ginger, a 16-year-old outcast, is bitten by a lycanthrope right when she gets her period. Director John Fawcett and screenwriter Karen Walton turned the masculine subgenre on its head, focusing on an unexpected plot: a teenage girl’s period. When Ginger Snaps came out in 2000, it was unlike any other werewolf horror flick.
