Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004)

The third and last Ginger Snaps film is a prequel to the other two.
It’s set in 19th century Canada and features the antecedents of the original Fitzgerald sisters; they look and act the same so there’s no jarring acceptance to overcome. It connects to the other films in an interesting way, which puts a new slant on how you view them.
The production and casting are good; everyone is believable even if they are mostly stereotypical, but unlike parts one and two the film doesn't have anything unique to say. It's generic but fun.
