Entertainment Reviews:
...This sharp teen-horror film displays a refreshingly new perspective...
Sight and Sound
This isn't just a good horror movie, it's a good movie. Period.

Time Out
Rating: 4/5 --
A superbly realized take on the perils of being different in a world that demands conformity.
Toronto Star
Rating: 1.5/4 --
The ideas are thin, and the scene-by-scene execution of them is bumbling.

Globe and Mail
The sharp feminist narrative makes up for the admirable but underwhelming werewolf makeup and other practical effects.
Full Review
Chicago Reader
A witty and intelligent exploration of what it means to become and live as a woman in middle-class suburbia.
Full Review
Electric Sheep
A quietly subversive my-sister-is-turning-into-a-werewolf movie that doesn't wimp out at the end.

Product Description:
Brigitte (Emily Perkins) and Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) are unusual sisters. For a school project they take pictures of each other in various suicide poses that look frighteningly realistic. No other students will talk to them. Ginger is almost sixteen, Brigitte a year younger, but they are in the same classes, and neither of them has gotten her period yet. They do virtually everything together--in fact, their motto is "Together Forever"--until one night Ginger gets attacked by the Beast of Bailey Downs, which previously had been killing and eviscerating dogs. And Ginger then begins to change....
John Fawcett's debut feature film is everything a good horror film should be--creepy, weird, oddly funny, sexy, and very bloody, with its conclusion taking place on Halloween night. Michael Shields's moody score lofts above every scene like dark shadows about to envelop the characters. Perkins and Isabelle are outstanding as the two morbid Fitzgerald sisters with a taste for death. This independent Canadian production also stars Mimi Rogers as the mother who can't wait for her daughters to menstruate.
