When I saw the first film, I quipped how funny it was that monkshood turned into this crazy heroin-like drug. Well, obviously Perfect because it puts a whole new urgency on Brigitte's situation. It's also like combining Girl Interrupted with werewolves which is kind of awesome. But here's the thing about this drug addiction concept. When I first read the synopsis I pictured in my head some mass hysteria involving Brigitte turning into a werewolf and slowly but surely, the patients and staff would be killed by some beast.
This would be the predictable route. It instead continues to keep its focus on Brigitte and on the nature of her disease and her desire to stop it. The film does not sacrifice the story line and more importantly the characterization, in order to make the film more entertaining.
Bonus points all over the place. The other reason that makes Ginger Snaps 2 completely awesome is of course the presence of Emily Perkins. Why is she so amazing? I have no clue--but this girl can act. Why isn't she in more things, and more importantly--did you know she's 33?!
Not during this but still I guess I could be considered as an impartial judge to which Ginger Snaps is better--but I don't know. I think Emily Perkins makes Ginger Snaps 2 slightly if not much more better than the first. Wish granted. There's a lot of people divided on the ending of Ginger Snaps 2 however and to be honest I'm kind of on the fence.
Monkshood Aconitum lycotonum. Brigitte and Sam developed it in Ginger Snaps as a cure for Lycanthropy, but it only slows down the transformation rather than cures it. Consequently, Brigitte has to keep injecting herself with it. She overdosed on the monkshood and was admitted to the clinic as a drug user.
In the DVD commentary, she is referred to as being 13 years old. Tatiana Maslany was actually 19 years old at the time she played Ghost.
She was chosen to play the role because she was shorter than Emily Perkins and had a look of innocence. To make her look even younger and more innocent, Tatiana had her naturally dark hair dyed blonde and her teeth fitted with braces. Brigitte and Ghost escape from the drug rehab clinic and go to Ghost's grandmother's house to hide out from the werewolf that is trying to mate with Brigitte.
The transformation is coming upon her faster and faster, but without a hypodermic needle, she is unable to get the monkshood into her bloodstream. Ghost calls Tyler Eric Johnson and asks him to bring them some needles. Tyler injects Brigitte, but she has a strong reaction to the monkshood. Tyler panics and calls Alice Janet Kidder at the clinic.
When Brigitte next sees Ghost, she is huddled in the attic and claims that Tyler raped her. Angry at Tyler for hurting Ghost, Brigitte asks him to put more gas in the generator.
While he is outside, Brigitte locks the door and Tyler is attacked by the werewolf, who has tracked Brigitte down again. Brigitte and Ghost build a trap in the cellar, using the springs of a mattress to hold a variety of spikes, horns, and other sharp objects. They hear a noise and fear the werewolf is breaking into the house, but it's just Alice come to take Ghost back to the clinic. Brigitte notices a sign on the wall that reads, "Don't smoke or I might croak," and realizes that Ghost's grandmother was a nonsmoker and couldn't have been burned from a fire that started because she was smoking in bed, the story that Ghost made up.
She confronts Ghost who admits to also making up the story about Tyler raping her. She simply wanted to get rid of him because she was afraid that he was going to take Brigitte away from her. And then another werewolf shows up to try and mate. Oh, heck. Just watch the movie. These guys have taken a worn-out horror staple lycanthropy and added such a new dimension to it that it's almost like an entirely new invention.

Brigitte stumbles down the street and collapses in the snow. She wakes up in a combination rehab clinic for drug abusing girls and chronic care patient facility, located in the only operational section of a large, old hospital.
She attempts, but fails to escape. When delivered to the clinic's director Alice Janet Kidder , she pleads to be released, but is refused.
She does, however, manage to palm a piece of glass so she can continue to measure her healing rate. Tyler Eric Johnson , a worker at the clinic, visits Brigitte at night and offers her some monkshood in exchange for sexual favors. She refuses and he tells her he will not give her the monkshood until she accepts his terms. As Brigitte's healing begins to accelerate, so does her rate of transformation. Ginger continues to appear, taunting Brigitte as she experiences growing cravings for sex, and to kill, as did Ginger previously.
During a group therapy session Brigitte daydreams about being instructed to lie on the floor and masturbate, however it is unclear if the masturbation was a fantasy, since the part about imagining death and blood is clearly in Brigitte's mind.
Suddenly jolted back to reality by a vision of Ginger, she draws her hand to her face to reveal her palm covered in hair. Later, and very depressed, she takes her shard of glass and holds it to her throat while looking into the bathroom mirror.
However, she does not kill herself. During this time, Brigitte is shadowed by a girl called Ghost Tatiana Maslany , the granddaughter of Barbara, a severe burn victim who is a patient there. Ghost eavesdrops on Alice in the staff lounge that Brigitte injects Monkshood.
Curious about it, Ghost goes through her clandestinely hidden comic book collection and realizes Brigitte's secret. Ghost slips Brigitte a comic book containing the werewolf story.
She begins to question her about lycanthropy, and notices Brigitte's ears have begun to grow pointy, Brigitte takes the glass, telling Ginger that she will not die, and cuts off the pointed part of her ear, flushing it down the toilet.
