Following the events of the first film, Brigitte flees the suburbs of Bailey Downs, away from a fierce lycanthropic creature stalking her, to a drug rehabilitation clinic run by Alice Seversen (Janet Kidder), a street-smart former addict. 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. (Via Vision Entertainment)

The Canadian horror movie Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed was made four years after the first instalment, although I think it built on it quite well. I did not even mind that Katharine Isabelle barely showed up. I quite enjoyed the movie because of Emily Perkins’ performance. Her character is wonderfully disturbed, and the drug setting suited the tone of this movie perfectly and actually enhanced it.

What I wrote about the first one could be applied here: dodgy visual effects vs. great makeup and gloomy music. Unlike a lot of horror sequels, this one doesn't find itself among cinema’s dross, and that's also because the main focus is not on hectolitres of blood being spilled, but also on the psychology of the characters (especially Ghost), and the sanitarium setting is cherry on top.
