For the upcoming 25 year anniversary, I thought it’d be fun to make a list of reviews, blog posts, academic articles and books that delve into Ginger Snaps (2000) and its sequels. I might update this list as we go long, we shall see. I’ve also tried providing links where I can. If anyone has suggestions/resources, lemme know and I’ll add them to the list
Disclaimer: While I don’t necessarily agree with every author here, they do offer compelling perspectives and analysis on the movie and think they’re worth a read.
