Ginger Snaps 3 takes place in the year 1815 and the two Ginger sisters survive from a sinking boat while their parents do not. Alone in a forest they meet an indian who can forsee their fate and who takes them to a fort. The fort is under siege since there are apparently werewolfs lurking outside.
Ginger Snaps 3: The Beginning is a prequal to the other two movies in the trilogy. Anyway, it's a trilogy until they decide to make a fourth movie, but if they will I do not know.
Unfortunately this third installment is the worst in the series and lack some of the good things that the two earlier movies had, especially the first Ginger Snaps which was a great little flick.
The first two movies, Ginger Snaps and Ginger Snaps: Unleashed, are both really good and reading about the third one and where it takes place sounded like it could maybe really be something, unfortunatley it's not more than ok.
Emily Perkins who was brilliant in the two first films are still good here but we don't get to see too much of her but instead more of Katharine Isabelle who also is an ok actress but not nearly as good as Perkins and that brings the movie down a bit.
The movie has some atmosphere and the enviroment is really nice and the fort is visually great to look at. The action is not great but we do get to see a fair deal of the beasts towards the end of the movie. But until that happens the movie stays kinda still and is a bit slow paced or at least uninteresting.
It's not a bad movie but it doesn't rank as high as the two previous but if you have seen the two earlier ones I guess you would wanna check this one out too.
