The Third Album
Everyone says the third release is the hardest.It's tragic that the response to Unleashed prevented it being shown in cinemas however it has been put on the big screen at film festivals so at least there's some consolation.
In an impressive show of daring they break with the setting developed in the first two films completely. It would have been easy to write the next installment of the existing story following on from Unleashed however instead they decided to transplant the story and the characters somewhere totally different.
The story takes place on the Canadian frontier in 1815 with the two sisters riding through the woods. The isolation of the environment (personified by the Native Wendigo- mentioned in the film) is a good place to set a story about the close tied relationship between two sisters with forces requiring them to act together and at the same time potentially pulling them apart.
This is a last hurrah but is the best Ginger Snaps film of all. All the more impressive considering their new choice of setting and the fact that this is the third film of the series (it's a proper series not just an original and sequels.) I love Ginger in this film even though she's quite deadpan compared to Brigitte she's great. It also sheds some light on how the first film takes place.
It's a savage bite back at everyone who thought badly of Unleashed.
