Ginger Snaps

Ginger Snaps is a 2000 Canadian werewolf film directed by John Fawcett. The film focuses on two teenage sisters, Ginger and Brigitte Fitzgerald , who have a fascination with death. The title is a pun on the cookie Gingersnap. "Snap" also relates to losing one's self-control, or a quick, aggressive bite. During the film's production, the Columbine High School massacre and the W. R. Myers High School shooting took place, causing public controversy over the film's horror themes and the funding it received from Telefilm. A mother finds her dog's mutilated body strung across the lawn. Meanwhile,... a slideshow of Brigitte and Ginger Fitzgerald creating staged deaths for a school project plays in their classroom. Their teacher and the school's guidance counselor, Mr. Wayne, demands to see them after class. Later, they smoke and play "Search and Destroy" on the school's game field, dissing people they dislike, and imagining how they may die. Trina Sinclair's friend overhears Brigitte describing Trina's character and death, and tells Trina.
