The second film in the "Ginger Snaps" series picks up right where the first one left off. Unfortunately, this also means that Katherine Isabelle hardly ever appears at all. I did miss the great chemistry of the Fitzgerald sisters. However, Emily Perkins manages to carry the film on her own. Also, if you have seen some Canadian productions in the past, you will recognize numerous actors here. Even a young Tatiana Maslany plays a significant part and is already demonstrating her talent.

The tone in "Ginger Snap II" is much more serious than in its predecessor. This time, the plot is primarily set in a rehab clinic, which is not an uncommon setting in the horror genre. It works quite well here, too. However, some decisions, particularly the selection of music, ensure that the film feels even more dated than the first. Especially the intro sequence gives you the feeling of having traveled back in time to the early 2000s.

As with the first film, the overall effects are excellent for the budget. The story also has some interesting twists and turns, though some of the characters are a little too cliché at times. As with its predecessor, this film addresses numerous topics that are rarely addressed in other genre films. "Ginger Snap II" could have been a fantastic conclusion to this series.
