Ginger Snaps III: The Beginning
Ginger Snaps has developed a cult following among horror-film fans and Goth kids; Ginger Snaps II: Unleashed followed, but the confused film fared poorly at the box office. The third installment (2004) went directly to video; it doesn’t measure up to the first, but it surpasses the second.
