Ginger SugarSnaps is a low budget Canadian horror film directed by John Fawcett. It is about two death-obsessed sisters, Ginger and Brigitte Fitzgerald. The sisters are social outcasts who explore the realms of the macabre and are infatuated with suicide.

One night when planning to kill a bully's dog, Ginger gets her first period. A local werewolf is attracted to the blood and then promptly attacks her. Brigitte comes to the aid of her sister and the two run away while the werewolf is killed by their drug dealer friend, Sam.

Ginger and Brigitte now must deal with Ginger's transformation. Ginger does not believe in werewolves at first and simply believes this to be a bad period. Brigitte starts to research cures with the help of Sam. Brigette, however, begins to grow a tail, which leads her to believe the curse may be true.

Ginger slowly gives in to her animal instincts, even passing on the werewolf curse when having sex, and changes completely before Brigitte and Sam can help her. Brigitte cuts Ginger and herself and mixes their blood in order to give the curse to herself and to save any remnant of her old sister's self. This backfires and Ginger kills Sam and then is killed by Brigitte who cannot save her sister.

There is nothing predictable or unoriginal about Ginger SugarSnaps, from the script to the camera angles, right up to the heartfelt tragedy itself of Ginger's condition. And that is why this film leaves most other horror films in its wake - it is multi-dimensional with strong characterizations. Obviously I am not alone in this perception. The film carries one of the highest rankings for its genre. Why it received such limited theatrical release worldwide I cannot begin to imagine, but the production teams behind "Scream," "Cabin Fever," and myriad other clones, should take a long hard look at this and find out HOW to make a horror film with pretty much no money!
