I love werewolf films, not for their impeccable writing and storytelling, but for how laughably bad most of them are. One of my favorite film series is that of Ginger Snaps. These Canadian turd fests revolve around two sisters, one of whom has been bitten by a werewolf. For those who are unaware, this makes her a werewolf as well...and a pretty bad one at that. In the first two films, we follow the sisters as they struggle with their familial bond, dating, and just plain biting the fuck out of people. From out of nowhere, the creators of the series decide, What if we just placed these two characters IN FRONTIER TIMES, circa the 1850's?!? What the fuck, people! Have you no shame?!? They don't even change the names of the characters! Ironically, this is the most watchable, and least laughable of the films. Still, a much better frontier werewolf film exists, in The Brotherhood of the Wolf. I tend to enjoy anything with Monica Belllucci in it(not Irreversible. Don't ever see that film. I mean it.) but this film is actually decent. Maybe you should watch them back-to-back, for argument's sake.
