The vitals:
7:00 ~ Doors
7:30 ~ GINGER SNAPS
“I get this ache… and I thought it was for sex, but it’s to tear everything to fucking pieces.” Mixing feminist allegory with gnarly body horror, Ginger Snaps is a hallmark in the genre of weird girl scary movies. As sisters Ginger and Brigitte—played perfectly by Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins—stage death scenes and smoke cigarettes in their mind-numbing suburban town, a werewolf attack twists their coming-of-age story into a clever study of the trials of puberty and girlhood. Come for the sickening 2000s outfits and gross-out practical effects; stay for the well-crafted narrative that’s lasted 25 years.
