Sisters Brigitte and Ginger find themselves stuck in the wilderness of 19th century Canada. They find refuge in a traders' fort, where they're surrounded by an eclectic group of near insane explorers and traders. The girls' sanctuary turns terrifying when the fort comes under attack by savage werewolves. A mysterious Indian hunter may be the girls' only hope against the beasts, but complications ensue when one of the girls is bitten by a werewolf. (official distributor synopsis)

The Canadian prequel Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning is one of those movies that I wish I had not wasted my time on. In terms of historical accuracy, I think it was pretty good, although I was not interested in the origins thing. I liked the way the werewolf sisters were conceived in the first movie Ginger Snaps.

It's a bit of a mix between the first episode of Ginger Snaps (Ginger is bitten again first and her sister takes care of her) and the horror film Ravenous (a rundown fortress in the 19th century, surrounded not by cannibals but werewolves). This is guaranteed to be the bloodiest installment in the entire series. The effects are again lacklustre, but they don't offend. On the other hand, the make-up effects are perfect as always (especially Wolfboy). The idea to make a prequel and not a sequel was also not the worst decision and the ending was really surprising (at least for me).
