'Ginger Snaps' Trilogy Getting First Australian Blu-ray Release This August


Australian distributor Via Vision Entertainment has announced they'll be releasing the Canadian werewolf trilogy of Ginger Snaps to Blu-ray and DVD on August 17th, 2022.


This marks the first Australian release of the complete trilogy on Blu-ray, which comes housed in a slipcover and loaded with special features.


In John Fawcett's original 2000 classic Ginger Snaps, "Fifteen-year-old Brigitte Fitzgerald (Emily Perkins) and her nearly sixteen-year-old sister Ginger (Katharine Isabelle), are a team — best friends and self-styled outcasts. Obsessed with dying and bound by a childhood pact to stay together forever, they loathe their mind-numbing existence in the suburb of Bailey Downs."


"One night, the two girls are heading through the woods when Ginger is savagely attacked by a wild creature. Ginger survives as her horrible wounds miraculously heal over, but something's not quite right. Ginger is irritable and in denial. But to Brigitte it is obvious that a terrifying force has taken hold of her sister. She’s convinced that the insatiable craving her sister is experiencing can mean only one thing — Ginger is becoming something unspeakable and monstrous."

There, she meets the handsome but immoral orderly Tyler (Eric Johnson), and 14-year-old Miranda (Tatiana Maslany), known to all as Ghost. When people start to die in the clinic, she knows the creature has found her again..."

But the ground is cursed, and no one leaves for fear of the monstrous beasts lurking in the area. Now, Ginger and Brigitte’s vow to stay "together, forever" gets tested as one of the sisters slowly slips into a darkening fate."
