Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed

Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004) is a Canadian horror film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Brett Sullivan. Picking up straight after the cult original, it follows Brigitte, who has buried her sister Ginger but carries the infection in her own veins. Each day pulls her a little further into the animal.

The one thing slowing the change is monkshood, a poison she keeps dosing to hold the wolf off. After an overdose she's locked in a rehab clinic, where the staff read her withdrawal as plain drug addiction. Outside, a male werewolf is tracking her scent; inside, the ghost of dead Ginger keeps whispering. Her only ally is an odd young girl who calls herself Ghost — played by a very early Tatiana Maslany, years before Orphan Black. Emily Perkins anchors the whole thing as Brigitte.

The sequel runs colder and meaner than part one: less high-school satire, more confinement and dread. It's for viewers who loved Ginger Snaps as a metaphor for puberty and body horror rather than for standard full-moon fangs. Stream Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004) online on iFILM.
