Description
"Ginger Snaps- The Sequel" picks up almost immediately where the
first installment ends, where Brigitte is cradling her dying older
sister, who had become a werewolf. With Ginger now dead, Brigitte
Fitzgerald (played by Emily Perkins in the original) is on the run
from the Canadian suburb of Bailey Downs. Beginning the
transformation herself, she has managed to stave off becoming a
werewolf by injecting herself with a calculated dose of monkshood
daily.
Becoming ill, Brigitte passes out on the street, waking up in a
drug rehab for young women. Assuming her monkshood is a drug, the
rehab center's supervisors have taken it away from her; without the
daily doses, she starts going through the changes that had happened
to her sister. Full of young addicts and kooky staff, she is
befriended by a peculiar girl named Ghost at the hospital.
Like Brigitte in the first film, Ghost is a bright and nervous
teenager, often shy around others. She appears to be a "normal"
girl, but Ghost is holding a great deal of pain inside, as her
grandmother is being treated in the adult side of the hospital for
fifth degree burns. Unlike the other girls, Ghost is able to move
freely within the center, a plot device that is central to the
latter two acts' scenes.
While Ghost is barely tolerated by most of the girls because of her
eccentricities (she often speaks in comic book narrative form), the
pair of Brigitte and Ghost quickly forms a close bond. With the
transformation beginning to develop itself fully in Brigitte, Ghost
manages to figure out her new friend's secret and tries to help her
from the full transformation. However, things don't go exactly as
planned, of course
